How To Be Awesome At Everything

239. How To Be Awesome At Starting A Podcast


Listen Later

Throughout my 20 year journey as an entrepreneur, I’ve seen more growth, progress and profits from one project, than any other. 

 

If you are looking to take your business or your life to the next level, I think you should start a podcast. 

 

And here’s why…

If you do it right, the logistics are simple and it’s so fulfilling and rewarding and inspiring.  And it is a long term strategy for whatever you want more of in your life. 

 

Being the host of your own podcast is like writing a book, it makes you an expert on your topic.  Whether you want to start a lifestyle brand or generate more sales something you already have going on, or maybe you have no idea where you would want the podcast to go, but you know what you would be awesome talking about. 

Yes, let’s do that!  

 

First, I’m going to jump inside your head and give rebuttals to all the things that would stop you from starting.  Aren’t there already too many podcasts?  Am I late to the game?  Would anyone even listen?

Guess what- everyone who’s ever started a podcast has thought those same things- and then did it anyway. 

 

In this episode I’m going to explain why I think you should have your own podcast, the benefits it can bring to your life, how we can make the steps simple so it doesn’t seem impossible to start, and how it can make you money. 

I am sharing how to start your own podcast!! 

Do it now - you will wish you did in 2 years. 

 

-Complexity kills execution!! 

Let’s make it simple! 

 

-If you have no idea where you want to go..

It puts you out there!! 

 

-I’ve helped a few women that I mentor start podcasts and I”m telling you - it is the next level move.  I’ll tell you more about what this led to at the end but I’m telling you everything you need to know here.  And I’m starting a group to do it together. 

 

-Breaking through all the reasons you tell yourself why you can’t do it or why you shouldn’t. 

Aren’t there already too many podcasts?  Am I late to the game?  Would anyone even listen?
