Episode Details

There are a number of things you need to be successful in podcasting.

1. Great Content
2. Great Sound
3. Great Promotion
4. Great Attitude

No matter how great your show sound, and how much you promote it, without great content, it won't succeed.

No matter how great your content is, if it is painful to listen to, or you have to constantly adjust the volume, nobody is going to listen.

No matter how great you sound, and how great your content is, if you don't promote it, your growth will be slow.

Without a great attitude, you won't be able to handle it when things don't go according to plan. You have to be able to roll with the punches, dodge the trolls, embrace constructive feedback, celebrate other's success, and remember to always serve your audience. It is easier said than done.

Jump Starting Your Year

There are a number of people who can help you launch a great year. Michael Hyatt has your best year ever. John Lee Dumas can get you where you want to go in 100 days with his Freedom Journal (and yet I bought a copy).  Today we have Tarun Stevenson of  leadcommunicategrow.com is hear to help us keep our attitude in check, and to make sure we set realistic goals.

Avoiding Burnout

When you lose hope its a very dark place to be and want to quit. Business without purpose can lead to you throwing in the towel. We look at where we want to be, and then look at where we are, and instead of feeling gratitude for what you have, you get discouraged. You have to value your current situation so your attitude can stay positive and allow you to make it to the next step. An App that Dave has been using is Gratitude Journal .

Take A Look At Yourself

Look at last year and figure out what worked, and what could be done better. What experiences help you grow more? When we develop small habits they can lead to giant success.

Goals

Be sure to have specific goals, and make sure the goals push you out of your comfort zone. Make sure they are realistic. Instead of focusing on the goal, focus on the actions that will lead to achieving the successful goal.

Instead of focusing on our stats, focus on the actions that will lead to more downloads.

Anything of value takes time and effort. A garden of weeds takes no time or effort. Your successful podcast will require time and effort, but it will be worth it.

Becoming a Person of Influence

1. Operate with integrity
2. Help other people, and deliver value.
3. Listen to people, and be interested in other people.
