211: My Biggest Lessons From 4 Million Podcast Downloads

Four years, and four million podcast downloads later, I’m continuing to share with you the lessons I have learned along this journey. I never thought I’d leave my job to do podcasting full-time, but I’ve grown a lot, personally and professionally, and am dedicated to helping you grow as well. Of course I had dreams of success, but when I started, I just wanted to gain inspiration from my guests, and figure out how to use the talents and skills that I had. I didn’t know where my path would lead, but I tested things out and they didn’t always work. There was definitely a lot of trial and error involved, but that only lit a fire in me to succeed. I put what I learned from research, trainings, and conferences into practice immediately. I’ve identified some of the key factors that have allowed me to have a successful podcast. In this episode, I discuss: Doing away with the fear of being pigeon-holed How to own your lane in the podcasting space How to make a long-term game plan Setting realistic expectations, and more Check out this episode and others on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Soundcloud, and Stitcher.   This episode is brought to you by: ACUITY For a limited time, only, you can get 45 days of Acuity Scheduling free by going to acuityscheduling.com/hustlepro.
