I am busier than ever before. I am traveling weekly, speaking for corporations, colleges, conferences, non-profits, and churches. I am having a blast!<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>I have also made quite a few changes to my blog, including the launch of my brand new <a href=\"https:\/\/michaelhyatt.com\/product\/speaking\" title=\"My Speaking Page\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Speaking<\/a> page.

I will only make 50 speeches next year. With my new book, <em>Platform: What It Is, Why You Need It, How to Build It<\/em> (Thomas Nelson) coming out in April of 2012, I expect my calendar to fill quickly.
