Listen Later

It’s time to celebrate! This week marks 9 years of the STaR Coach Show, so I’m doing something special in today’s episode. I’m pulling back the curtain on the entire journey, sharing the lessons that built this show, the mistakes I’ve made along the way, and the unexpected gifts that come from showing up every week for 9 years.

What matters most is that I’m sharing the most impactful strategy from each phase of the journey, and these are steps you can implement right away. Whether you are considering starting a podcast, offering a course or program, or trying to figure out the consistency element in your own vision, this episode is for you. Join me now, and stick around until the end for a special gift offer!

Show Highlights:

  • The beginning, October 16, 2016: My fears about this new endeavor
  • Act I:
  • Then vs. Now (The podcasting world was a much different place in 2016!)
  • No regrets, only resilience and a commitment to my vision

My “one thing” from Act I:

“Stop waiting for the perfect timing.”

Act II:

  • Lessons learned:
  • Starting is better than perfect.
  • I need to partner with genius.
  • Know your audience deeply.
  • Create systems for a smoother workflow.
  • My “one thing” from Act II: “Identify one thing that could derail your biggest business initiative, and figure out how to partner with someone whose genius can remove that obstacle.”

Act III:

  • The beautiful benefits and wins over the years are many.
  • Your creations allow your work to be in front of more people as they get to know who you are and what you do.
  • Meaningful feedback is heartwarming and encouraging.
  • My “one thing” from Act III: “When you commit to serving your audience consistently with genuine generosity, the benefits will compound in ways you can never predict.”

Act IV:

  • My honest regrets: What I wish I had done differently
  • Overcoming hesitancy in letting your audience know what you need from them
  • My invitation to join our Know Your People FREE 5-Day Challenge (Find out more at STaR Coach Show.)
  • My “one thing” from Act IV:
  • “Don’t wait years to ask for what you need. Invite your audience to engage NOW.”

3 questions to ask about doing something new in your business:

  • How does it serve my audience?
  • How does it align with my passion?
  • Will it hold my interest?
