It is so liberating to admit when we're feeling low energy or when we don't feel like showing up all the time. Recently, I've been feeling low energy and it's been affecting my ability to post on social media or even just go on my Instagram stories. I know that I'm not the only one who goes through these cycles and I don't want to shame myself for it. If anything, I want to be honest about it and remind people that this is normal. 

So I've been managing my low energy by continuing to reduce the resistance I have in terms of recording my podcast. I also make sure that my show gives me room to be human. And finally, I repurpose and leverage this incredible podcast.

"We have to allow for these moments."

Sometimes we just want someone to tell us what to do, wave a magic wand, and make our business successful. I did and still do at times. This led me to outsource my decision-making to coaches in the past. I wanted someone to come in, tell me step 1-5, and then pat me on the back for being a "good business owner." Spoiler: It left me completely disempowered and I ended up hating my business. Today I'll tell you that story and what I ask myself to avoid this in any future investments. 

I'm so grateful to be celebrating 1000 listens on Building With Isa Media Inc and I learned a ton of lessons along the way. So, today, I will share five lessons with you so that you can make your podcast's journey to it's next 1000 listens even smoother. The first two are all about recording your episode and staying consistent. Then the last 3 are about your relationship to your audience. I hope you enjoy!

We are encouraged to define our why every day as entrepreneurs. We are asked why we want what we want, what we’re going to do once we get it, and what we’re going to do right after. We always say, “of course, I want this!” but then we get in our own way. We procrastinate, we doubt, we don’t go for it, we hold back.

So I’ve started asking “why don’t I want this?” instead to explore what’s really going on for me.

This is an incredibly powerful journaling exercise I encourage you to try for yourself.

"Authority," "Community," "Value," "Streamline," and "ROI." These words have real concrete definitions, but when we start using them in every single post, story, sales page, and conversation without knowing precisely what we want to convey, the words turn into mush. They obscure our message and muddy our points. I've been struggling with this a lot recently, as have my clients, so I want to bring this topic to you today. 

Let me know what buzzwords and jargon you're sick of in your industry by DMing me @IsaMediaInc on Instagram.

7-day challenge here, 15-day feat there, 30-day challenge everywhere - these types of programs are everywhere, and often they're great! However, they might not be the fix you actually need in your business. They look sexy, they are great headlines, and announcing them on social feels AWESOME! But, they aren't meant to be sustainable long-term solutions, which is what we should really be after. 

So, tune in to this episode to hear what challenges have lured me in, which I'm deciding to try, and which I'm adapting to fit in the long-run.

The power of podcasting for entrepreneurs often boils down to two things: intentionality and intimacy. I share what I mean by both of those for both the hosts and listeners.
