Business owner and money mentor holds event to help entrepreneurs smash their goals

Published on January 12, 2024

Millionaire business owner and money mentor Siam Kidd is passing on some of his wisdom in a two-day workshop called ‘Nailing Life’. 

Siam currently runs six businesses and teaches others how to build their own wealth through the Wealth Action Plan. The former RAF pilot also works as a full-time trader and created The Realistic Trader to give people honest advice about how to trade in crypto and grow their portfolio. 

Those attending the Nailing Life workshop will learn how to successfully launch and grow their business as well as how to properly set goals, get leads and sales and keep customers happy. The two-day event will be held at a venue in Wyboston, Bedfordshire from 10am to 6pm on February 9 and 10. 

Siam, who comes from Norwich, says: “This is a unique one-off event which I won’t be doing again. There’ll be zero selling and zero padding, just me teaching entrepreneurs the things they really need to know to be a success. 

“Topics will include why goal setting is done badly and how to properly set and smash goals, And I will be giving those who attend a vital business set up checklist covering everything which needs to be done to successfully launch and grow a business.” 

The 37-year-old, who built his own fortune by growing and selling businesses and investing the profits, will talk about finances, investing and how people can properly set up a crypto portfolio to help them grow their wealth. Siam will also teach people about how they can make the most money when they decide to sell their business.

Siam adds: “When it comes to success, background knowledge, skill and qualifications mean nothing – it’s all about attitude, tenacity and relentless perseverance in the endless battle of adversity. If you’re a determined go-getter, Nailing Life is for you.” 

The cost of attending the workshop is £250 and this includes a hot lunch and refreshments on both days and an opportunity to socialise with like-minded entrepreneurs.

Doctor who helps people live longer and healthier lives is named female speaker of the year

Published on November 24, 2023

Doctor and longevity coach Dr Alka Patel has been named Female Speaker of the Year in a prestigious awards ceremony.

After a long career as a GP, Alka now specialises in helping people live longer while feeling and looking younger. For the last two years, she has combined her work with public speaking, shining a spotlight on important issues surrounding health and wellbeing.

The Professional Speakers Academy awarded Alka the prize at its annual awards ceremony at the Riverside Venue in Hounslow, London on Saturday, November 18. She described the win as “a tremendous honour and achievement.”

The 51-year-old, who believes everyone has the potential to live one million-hour lives, said: “Being the Female Speaker of the Year in the realm of longevity isn’t just a personal achievement; it’s a responsibility. It fuels my commitment to continue sharing insights, offering guidance, and inspiring positive changes in people’s lives.

“It’s about making a lasting difference by enabling individuals to lead not just longer lives, but healthier, more prosperous, and fulfilling ones. Collecting my award, I walked onto the stage to the sound of the Alicia Keys song This Girl is on Fire and in that moment, I recognised that I am setting the world ablaze with my unique flame and spark that’s igniting change.”

But Alka, who lives in London, believes more needs to be done to close the gender gap within public speaking and make sure women are given the same prominence as their male counterparts.

She said: “Women often face challenges in securing keynote or prominent speaking roles. Research suggests that they might be more commonly assigned breakout sessions or panels rather than the central spotlight, impacting their visibility and influence.

“The landscape of speaker awards, despite celebrating excellence, has historically mirrored wider gender disparities. While women have made remarkable strides in public speaking and thought leadership, there’s been a notable imbalance in the recognition they receive through awards.

“The Professional Speakers Academy doesn’t just give a cursory nod to women. It actively recognises and celebrates the visibility of female voices, inspiring others to follow suit.”

The Professional Speakers Academy was founded by Andy Harrington 11 years ago to help entrepreneurs learn how to give interesting and entertaining presentations which gave value to the audience, while also boosting their business.

Award success for public speaker and high performance coach

Published on November 24, 2023

High performance coach Moses Nalocca has been named Best Transformational Speaker for 2023.

The 39-year-old received the international accolade at the Professional Speakers Academy Annual Awards, which were held in Hounslow, London, on Saturday, November 18. Moses works with entrepreneurs, business leaders and sports stars to help them achieve their goals and his mindset work with Bulgarian athlete Ivet Goranova helped her achieve the country’s first Olympic gold medal in 13 years.

Moses, who lives in London, was chosen out of a long list of inspiring public speakers to receive the award. And he said that learning the art of public speaking has transformed his life as an entrepreneur, allowing him to share his message with many people at once.

He said: “I am deeply honoured to receive the award for Best Transformational Speaker of 2023. I want to dedicate it to my partner, team, client and coaches but I give special thanks to all the people who allowed me, through my voice and through my story, to get into their hearts and lives.

“I am deeply grateful to do what I love and make an impact on this world at the same time.”

This is not the first time Moses has won a Professional Speakers Academy award. In last year’s ceremony, he was named Sales Person of the Year and also given a special 7-figure award in recognition of his achievement of making more than £1,000,000 in the training industry.

Moses first came to the UK from Italy in 2016 with just 15 euros in his pocket, having to work in a minimum wage job to make ends meet. But his excellent communication skills and positive mindset allowed him to forge a successful career as a public speaker and coach.

He added: “Public speaking is the fastest way to grow your business. Earlier on in my career, I was doing door-to-door sales, which is selling one-to-one. With public speaking, I can convey my message one to many and make a real impact so it has allowed me to scale my business as an entrepreneur.”

The Professional Speakers Academy was founded by Andy Harrington 11 years ago to help entrepreneurs learn how to boost their business, while giving value to their audience with interesting and entertaining presentations.

The Realistic Trader celebrates 10 years of trading advice with special birthday event

Published on October 31, 2023

An online community designed to teach people how to grow their wealth through investing and trading is celebrating a landmark birthday with a special event. 

Money mentor Siam Kidd started The Realistic Trader in October 2013 because he was keen to pass on his wisdom and give people honest advice about how to trade in crypto and grow their portfolio. Ten years later, the friendly online community is still going strong and Siam is holding a social event where people can learn about macroeconomics, trading, and crypto to mark the occasion. 

The Realistic Trader 10th anniversary CUDL is being held in Wyboston, Bedfordshire, on Saturday, November 18. The events are usually for Realistic Trader members only but for the first time, tickets are available to the public. 

Siam, who runs six businesses and has become a millionaire through crypto trading, says: “Every two months, the Realistic Trader community meets up for a day of socialising and learning but as this is such a special occasion, we’re opening it up to the public. It will be a day of pure content with absolutely no selling at all because I hate that. 

“Trading and investing are vital financial skills and yet so many people don’t spend any time learning them. The Realistic Trader helps people learn how to achieve financial independence for themselves and busts many of the myths and misunderstandings, which surround the world of crypto trading.” 

The 10th-anniversary event will start at 10am with educational talks from Siam and guest speakers on topics including tax, trading, and business. The ticket includes lunch and dinner and after 6pm, there will be an opportunity to socialise and meet other people interested in wealth generation, investing, and trading. 

Tickets are £120 or free for members of The Realistic Trader community and you can book a place at https://portal.siamkidd.io/cudl-public/ 

Siam was originally an RAF pilot before he gave up his military career to become a full-time trader. In the first six years, he admits to making every trading mistake in the book but once he learned to trade successfully, he was keen to help others avoid making the same errors he did. 

He adds: “I was fed up with charlatans promoting get-rich-quick schemes so I set up Realistic Trader to be the most genuine and ethical financial education company out there. The reality is one can’t become financially independent in a year, it’s a five-to-10-year journey of constantly failing and improving, not a magic success bullet.”
