10x Podcasting - From Low Influence To Massive Impact

Stop Planning. Start Shipping. Your Identity Depends On It.


Listen Later

If you’ve been planning to start a podcast, thinking about writing a book, or telling yourself you’ll launch “when the time is right”… this is your wake-up call. Potential isn’t reality, and the world doesn’t reward what you could do, it rewards what you actually do. In this episode, we break down the real barriers that keep creators stuck on the sidelines: waiting to feel ready, waiting for confidence, waiting for perfect conditions, and hiding in “research” and planning. The truth is simple: your identity changes after your actions create evidence. You become a podcaster by recording and shipping episodes. You become an author by writing chapters. You become consistent by doing the reps, even when it’s awkward, messy, and unimpressive at first. This is for the creator who bought the mic but hasn’t recorded… the writer who has ideas but no pages… and the entrepreneur who keeps building plans instead of building proof. If you want discipline, confidence, and momentum, it starts today—with one small rep.

2) What You’ll Learn / Highlights
Why potential is imaginary without action (and how to make it real)
The identity shift loop: actions → evidence → identity → more action
Why most people quit before episode 12 (and how to avoid it)
The “big mistakes” that keep you stuck: feelings-first, perfection, oversaturation myths
Why “starting isn’t a test—it’s practice” (and why that frees you)
How planning becomes avoidance—and what to do instead
The simplest question that breaks procrastination: What evidence can you create today?
