Maybe you’re wondering — is a podcast right for me? And how do I know when I’m ready to start one?
Well, you’ve come to the right post.
Starting a podcast is RIGHT for you if:
- You have a story that you’re eager to tell.
- You want to share a message or a topic you’re passionate about.
- You have products or services to sell.
- It seems like fun!
Starting a podcast might NOT be right for you if:
- You’re only thinking about making one because everyone else is doing it.
- You’re not interested in helping or serving others.
- You’re just looking to make a quick buck.
You might be READY to start your podcast if:
- You lie awake at night thinking about how cool it would be to have your own show.
- Your mind is bursting with ideas.
- You’re excited about the prospect of your voice and message being heard around the world.
- You are looking for significant growth and change — in your life, in your business, or in yourself.
You might NOT be ready to start your podcast if:
- You have no idea what you would podcast about, or whom you want to serve.
- You’re incredibly overwhelmed by everything that’s currently on your plate, and you can’t (or don’t want to) say “no” to any of it.
- You’re not ready to be seen as a leader in your field.
- You are not looking forward to making authentic connections with your listeners.
- You’re not ready for your life to change significantly.
You may identify with one, several, or zero of the statements above. But hopefully they will give you a good idea about whether a podcast might be right for you — and whether you’re ready to start one.
A podcast can be a powerful vehicle for change, but it’s NOT right for everyone. I would rather you give it due consideration than jump in half-heartedly and potentially sour yourself against a really rich medium.
Whether you’re an entrepreneur, coach, business owner, college student, writer, actor, parent, teacher, financial consultant, real estate agent, traveler, mother, father, grandparent, or just someone who has been through a LOT… you have a story to tell.
And if you’re ready to tell that story — if you’re ready to break out of your shell and into the public eye, if you’re passionate about sharing your message or increasing your authority on your favorite subject — then starting a podcast just might be the right thing for you.
