My Podcast Saved Me. And Made Me.
It was Friday, December 21, 2012.
At the time, I had a business that was doing okay, but I wasn't in love with it.
In fact, I didn't really want to do it.
I seem to recall telling my coach at the time that when I attempted to do visioning exercises about the future, I saw either a blank screen, or got a warm glow imagining not having my business at all.
Ouch.
It was ironic, too, because I had just completed two back-to-back successful (lucrative) speaking engagements which saw attendees running to the back of the room to pay me to attend a program on how to leverage New Media to grow their business.
As a "demo", I set up a website for something called The Business Creators Radio Show, letting the attendees watch over my shoulder as I programmed it, adjusted its look and feel, and set up plugins that would syndicate my future content.
I got it built... then I didn't really know what to do with it, so I let it sit there.
Fast-forward eight months.
By this time, I had decided to move to Las Vegas, a town I visited so often that my business was floating thousands of dollars in travel expenses to get me back and forth.
Might as well be where the action is, yes?
Still - with my upcoming new life, I hadn't figured out what I wanted to be when I grew up (so to speak).
Anyway... I returned to the Business Creators' Radio Show website, touched it up a bit, and submitted the podcast to what was then called iTunes.
They said it would take me 30 days to get approved - plenty of time to figure a few things out.
Yes?
NO!
Turns out, it only took 30 HOURS - and as a result, the 30-day window for New and Noteworthy was wide open - I needed content NOW.
Turns out, I still wasn't sure what I wanted to be when I grew up, and wouldn't figure it out for two more years.
Thus, hosting my podcast was the ONLY marketing I was doing.
Aside from not knowing what to market or sell, I was uprooting my entire damn life, so content marketing and blogging and coming up with brilliance and passion for the social interwebs just wasn't happening.
My primary concern was surviving a 3-day, 2,206-mile road involving 33 hours of driving, with two rambunctious four-month-old kittens along for the entire ride!
That's okay.
Interviewing guests enabled me to connect with amazing people I may have never reached otherwise.
It gave me the chance to research, "pick brains", and get involved with some interesting deals along the way.
While I didn't know what I wanted my business to BE, it nonetheless THRIVED - and increased revenues 40% in that first year after I relocated to Las Vegas.
Look at today!
Now, imagine how much faster I could have gotten it done with an actual PLAN.
