How to Start a Podcast Series: Step Nine Mastering Your Podcast Craft Mastery is all about developing the skills and knowledge to become a pro at something. Just like you wouldn't expect a little kid who wants to do gymnastics to compete in the Olympics right away, or a newbie runner to jump into a marathon without training, podcasting takes time and dedication; it’s all about practice, practice, practice! I’ll share some of my own podcasting ups and downs, including the importance of showing up even when it’s tough. We’ll also cover some practical tips and tools to help you keep going: - Finding a supportive podcasting community for support. - Investing in continuing education - Setting goals and finding accountability partners to stay on track. - Regularly reassess your podcasting goals and strategies. Finally, I’ll answer two big questions: how long does it take to see podcasting results, and what does it take to build a successful podcast? Quotes "When you're in community with other like minded podcasters, it spurs you on to try new things. It encourages you to keep going." "No one expects a four year old who says, "I want to be an Olympic gymnastics girl” to go out onto the floor and do a backhand spring into a back tuck or do the bars right off the bat. That's just not how it works. So it is with podcasting… you have to show up and practice, practice, practice.” Call to Action Hit me up on Instagram www.instagram.com/kristinfieldschadwick and let me know one step you’ll take to master your podcasting craft this next week or month—I’d love to hear from you.

In entrepreneurship, setting financial goals isn't just about numbers but crafting a roadmap toward your aspirations. Whether you're a seasoned business owner or just starting your entrepreneurial journey, taking a thoughtful approach to your financial aspirations is key. In today's episode, Kristin welcomes guest business coach Leanne Meiser to dive deeper into the intricacies of financial goal-setting and the considerations you need to consider. Kristin and Leanne: Educate listeners on how essential it is to clearly define your goals. Ask yourself, "What do I want to achieve?" Whether it''s growing your business, saving for a dream vacation, or investing for the future, articulating your objectives is the first step toward financial success. Discuss the importance of understanding the feasibility of your financial goals is paramount. Consider the time you have available – if you only have 10 hours a week to dedicate to your financial endeavors, ensure your goals align with this realistic timeframe. Dive into how it's crucial to differentiate between business and personal finances. Knowing how much you are taking home is different from understanding your business revenue. Remind listeners that setting clear and intentional financial goals is a non-negotiable step if you're serious about expanding your reach and serving others. Set ambitious goals for yourself, and remember not to give away your services or products for free. Your expertise and offerings have value, and acknowledging this is essential for sustainable financial growth. Achieving financial success requires intentional planning and a clear understanding of your goals. Remember, financial success is not just about making money; it's about making informed and purposeful decisions that align with your aspirations.
