If you've been listening to this show for a while, you’ll be aware that I have taken an unexpected break. Over the past few months, I’ve taken a lot of family time, as well as a lot of travel time for business. So today I wanted to talk you through what I’ve realised during this break from Podcasting for Entrepreneurs, and what we're planning to do going forward. 

What You’ll Learn: 

• The initial goal of launching Podcasting for Entrepreneurs
• What we’ve achieved with this show so far
• How my message evolved and what my new show, Positively Influential, is about
• The next steps you can take if you are serious about podcasting

As entrepreneurs, it's important that from time to time we stop, take stock, evaluate, and course correct if need be. The result of this process for me is that I feel that the work on this show is done for now, and I’m going to focus on my new show. For you to take your podcasting journey on the next level, check out some of the numerous resources below or stay in touch on social media.

When you get serious about launching your podcast, you might ask whether you should script your episodes. Today, I'm going to let you into my reasoning behind why I don't believe that it's a good idea. 

What You’ll Learn:

• What limitation you impose on yourself if you script out your episodes and how it affects the listener
• What kind of structure you need to have in order to combat a panic of having a microphone in front of you 
• Why it’s a good idea to bring at least one story to the table in your show

Your podcast can become a very powerful front end of your business. After all, business is personal and we choose to spend money with people that we know, like and trust. What we don't trust is someone who doesn't trust their own words, their own knowledge and ability. Allow yourself to share and be real and honest, because that is what makes a podcast valuable for your listener.

Success is relative. With your podcast, it isn’t all about massive download numbers, but much more about how you are engaging and retaining your listeners, and how useful you are making the podcast for your business. So let’s discuss how you can track your podcast success.

What You’ll Learn:

• Why it’s worth paying for access to stats and figures on your podcast hosting platform
• How to get an overview of your podcast in charts, so you can make informed decisions
• Why you need to know what your show is doing long term, not only at launch

What we track grows, so if you are not actively looking at the numbers behind your podcast in the same way you are looking at the profit in your business, you probably aren't going to grow. The right level of awareness is key to being able to make knowledgeable decisions.
