An Amazing Year – PTC 420

It was an amazing year for Podcast Talent Coach. And, I want to thank you for all of the support. It is my hope that this show and my content helped you reach a few of your goals.

It is important that we take time to reflect on the great things in our lives. While I was traveling over the past week, I did just that.

TAKE FOCUSED ACTION THIS YEAR

What I realized is that focused action makes a big difference.

In September, I began following a new coach. He put me on a journey to specifically follow up with those I've talked with over the year.

I set out to serve these people and continue the conversation we began. I delivered content and resources that I felt could help each of them individually.

There was no sell or ask. It was just service.

Rather than approaching it with what I wanted, I went back and reviewed those original conversations. Then, I sent each of them something that would help with the challenge we discussed.

Some of those led to additional calls. Others were just notes of thanks.

Either way, it was focused action to help more coaches.

Over this past year, I had 60 strategy calls with various coaches and podcasters. However, 25 of those calls have come in the last 8 week, because I was intentional.

What I accomplished in the first 10 months of the year was nearly matched in the last 2.

Those calls have also led to $10k in the bank and another $50k potentially coming right after the first of the year.

That is what intentional action can do for your business.

MY LATEST JOURNEY

If you have been following me on the Podcast Talent Coach Facebook page, I've been keeping you up to date on my journey to earn $100K in 100 days.

Each day, I share what I've learned, what I've tried, what has worked and what didn't happen as I had planned. It has been fun.

We are a little over halfway through the journey.

Many entrepreneurs take December off. They think people aren't doing business or making buying decisions around the holidays.

This month has been huge for me. It has turned this year on its head.

I have built new packages for clients. Opportunities to speak to a variety of groups have come my way.

The way the tail end of the year has come together, I am excited to see what January will bring.

WORKSHOPS IN THE NEW YEAR

On January 7, I'm holding a free workshop called "How To Launch Your Podcast In 30 Days To Attract Your Ideal Clients." If you haven't launched your show yet, you can register for the workshop at www.PodcastTalentCoach.com/workshop.

I am currently enrolling podcasters into Audience Explosion Blueprint. We talked about that on the last episode. You can find details on Audience Explosion Blueprint at www.PodcastTalentCoach.com/audience. That deal is going away very soon.

NEW CONNECTIONS

2022 also brought a lot of new connections and opportunities.

Dan Miller invited me to be the Dean of Podcasting for the 48 Days Eagles community. It is such an honor.

While serving in the 48 Days Eagles community, I conducted two Eagles Nests. Those are free mini-courses where I teach about podcasting for a group. I also lead one Dean Intensive. That was a higher level group.

Get details on 48 Days Eagles open house at www.PodcastTalentCoach.com/48days.

Iman Aghay invited me to be a coach at Collaborate. That is my favorite joint venture event. It was an absolute honor to be part of that.

Over the year, I was involved in 15 different giveaways. I presented on 3 different summits or masterminds. My courses were included in 3 bundles.

My email list grew by 2,222 over the year.

I truly believe that growth was due to my intentional, focused action.

A YEAR OF PODCAST GROWTH

The podcast grew as well.

This podcast was a solo show for the first 275 episodes. Slowly, I began to invite select guests to be interviewed on the podcast.

The purpose of this show is to give you the help you need to grow your audience and fill your coaching program with your ideal clients.

Over the past year, I interviewed 25 people for the show. The results show you like both the solo shows and the interviews.

The top 11 episodes of the past year consist of 6 interviews and 5 solo episodes.

The difference in downloads between #1 and #11 is only 46 downloads. It has been pretty consistent with the big episodes.
