The Rising Leader

Step Off The Growth Hamsterwheel

In this episode, I share my personal struggle with the constant drive to improve and the overwhelming feeling of trying to keep up with the ever-changing demands of my coaching business, writing, and personal life. I discuss the importance of incremental improvement and share insights from a recent mastermind session with James Whitaker, host of the Win the Day podcast, on how to elevate the podcasting experience and reach a broader audience.

 

James Whitaker, known for his excellence in podcasting, continually seeks to enhance his content by hosting in-person interviews in a studio setting, providing high-quality video content and implementing meticulous systems for guest interactions. While feeling inadequate compared to his professional setup, I am inspired to focus on incremental improvements by identifying the one crucial aspect to upgrade and delegate tasks

effectively.

 

"This is a marathon. This isn't a sprint. We're trying to get 1% incrementally better every day, and that's manageable." – Mark J. Silverman
