When I first started the Success Unfiltered Podcast, I didn’t know a thing about podcasting.
I had the business skills and the acumen that it would take to make it successful, but there were some holes in my experience: I knew how to sell, and to coach others about selling, but I knew nothing about podcasting!
When it came time to create this podcast, I had to fill in my knowledge gaps. I met with other podcasters, I asked questions, listened to how other podcasters worked, and I invested my time into learning everything that I needed to know.
My background as an entrepreneur made me the perfect fit for this podcast, and once I learned how to do it, I was able to create a product that people would want to listen to.
If you listen to the first few episodes, I’m sure that you’ll hear how much I’ve gotten better.
If I hadn’t learned about podcasting, and how to put this together, the Success Unfiltered podcast wouldn’t be as authentic as it has been. You wouldn’t be hearing all of these nitty gritty stories about how other entrepreneurs have gone through NO’s and rejections.
Sometimes, the best thing to do is hire a business coach for those areas that you aren’t fully confident in yet - they’ll be able to help train you to be your most authentic self.
This week’s guest on Success Unfiltered, Lindsay Burton, created an event for women in business. She’d sold tickets, booked speakers, and just a few weeks before the event, realized that she didn’t have an emcee! Undaunted, she hired an acting coach, dove in, and connected authentically with her ideal clientele.
If you’re ready to be inspired by how hiring a business coach can help you grow, you won’t want to miss this week’s episode of Success Unfiltered!
Enjoy, and thank you for listening and tuning into Success Unfiltered!
