Starting a Podcast: a False sense of Progress
“Hey, Siri, how do you start a podcast?”, or
Today we are going to talk about a subject that has been requested from people in my sales pipeline, and basically, it's, well they're overwhelmed.
After speaking with them the response I get it, like, “Yeah, yeah, I'm working on it”. So, I dive deeper asking questions of,
“Well, what have you been doing?”
“What are your goals?”
“Are you utilizing the checklist?”
And come to find out there is a problem, there's a disconnect. So, we are going to talk about that disconnect today and then what needs to be done. If you are going to start a podcast now this information can be utilized. Whether you are using the services of Stitch Radio or not, so pay attention.
This is entitled, starting a Podcast, A False Sense of Progress.
So, what these people have been doing is Googling how to start a podcast, downloading checklists, signing up for this course, and they are accumulating all of this information that's not action.
Simply, They are failing to act.
But they have that false sense of progress because they are doing things to start a podcast, but they're not acting upon the things that they're doing. So, we are going to dive into what you need to do now.
Number one, finding information other than coming from myself and or Sitch Radio, I 100% encourage it.
We have our way, and just like everything with computers, there are multiple ways to do anything. However, we do our best to give you great information so you can start a show with or without our services.
That is our mission, to help you tell your story.
So, the number one thing people are not doing is setting a goal.
Now, let us talk about goal setting briefly. If you say, I have a goal to start a podcast, in Q1 2023. Cool.
Do you have a goal?
Is it written down?
Are subtasks written down?
Are benchmarks established to fulfill that goal?
If they are not, it's not a goal. It is a dream. That's not my original saying. I do not recall where I heard it, but a goal not written down is not a goal, it's a dream.
