The four-night masterclass for speakers ready to get paid

You know why.
Now build what gets you paid.

Talented speakers stay overlooked when the business behind their message is missing. Over four live nights, you will build four usable assets: a buyer-ready message, a packaged speaker offer, confident fee language, and a 30-day paid-booking action plan.

The belief that changes everything

Getting booked and paid is a business you can learn, not a talent you are born with.

The missing ingredient is not another speaking tip. It is the business system behind the stage, the GPS Method that turns a valuable message into an offer buyers can understand and pursue.

Why I built this masterclass

I knew the drive home after the applause.

People would line up to tell me I changed their life, then I would leave with no booking and no check. I had the gift, but I did not have the business behind it.

Once I learned how to clarify my message, position my value, and have the conversations that turn a stage into a paycheck, everything changed. I built this four-night experience to give you the practical path I wish someone had given me sooner.

That is why it starts at $47: the first business step should be accessible enough to take now and practical enough to change what you do next.

Before you trust the system, look at who built it

This is taught from paid stages, not theory.

Dr. Karim R. Ellis has spent more than two decades speaking, training, and leading real rooms. The same clarity, positioning, and audience command behind those bookings are what he teaches inside this masterclass.

My promise to you

Do the work. Leave with a clearer way to get paid.

Attend the live sessions or watch the replays, do the work, and if this masterclass does not give you at least one concrete way to position and get paid for your message, email the team within 48 hours of your final session for a full refund. Refunds end your access to the recordings and materials. The financial risk is ours.

Before you choose

Questions speakers ask.

I have never been paid to speak. Is this for me?

Yes. The training begins with the message, positioning, offer, fee confidence, and buyer language required before paid bookings become repeatable.

I have booked a few paid gigs. Is this too basic?

No. This is for speakers who cannot yet repeat the result consistently and want a clearer business process behind the stage.

What if I miss a live night?

Both passes include a replay of every night, emailed after class. Live attendance is encouraged so you can participate in Q&A and apply the work in the room.

What is different about Day 5?

The four-night masterclass builds your paid-speaker roadmap. Day 5 shows the fee conversation in action and gives you the opportunity to practice it with coaching.

Is this another class full of motivation but no implementation?

No. The four nights are organized around the message, offer, fee, and booking path you need to create. Worksheets, live Q&A, and replays help you apply each move to your own speaking business.

Can this guarantee that I will get booked?

No ethical program can guarantee a buyer's decision or replace your responsibility to apply the work. This masterclass gives you the positioning, language, tools, and next-step process needed to pursue paid opportunities more effectively.
