I started a podcast in November 2020. And gave up on it in November 2023.

After 128 episodes, I quit.

I burnt out trying to keep it going despite it not getting

  • The listeners I wanted
  • The leads I planned for
  • The downloads I anticipated

Reader, when you’re putting in the reps and don’t get results, it’s easy to feel defeated.

  • What’s the point?
  • Why waste your energy?
  • Or time you could be spending with your kids?

These were my thoughts.

I had forgotten when I started, I also wanted to

  • Overcome my fear of approaching guests
  • Get ‘free’ coaching sessions from them through the podcast LOL
  • Build a community of like-minded women who support and empower each other

All of which I’d accomplished.

If you’re feeling defeated because you’ve invested time, energy and money and still aren't where you want to be, remember:

  • Building a business is a very long game
  • Treat the process like listening to your favorite song - enjoy the moment
  • Make sure your daily business activities build momentum, not just keep you busy

Taking my own advice, I decided to bring back my weekly solo podcast episodes after a year!

Beginning with what I wished I knew when I started.

I'd love to hear what you thought about the episode.

Should I do more of such solo episodes? Y/N?

Hit reply and let me know!

Reader, One of the things I love about entrepreneurship is the amazing women I get to meet! This week's podcast guest is Dane Tang, corporate leader turned entrepreneur. Dane left a highly accomplished career as a global leader in blue chip companies like Shell, LVMH, Johnson & Johnson, and Burger King to start a coaching company called DesignFuture. She helps CEOs, CHROs, and senior leaders redefine workplace culture to meet the demands of a fast-changing world. We chatted about her journey...

Reader, Here's a real-time lesson: Never assume what you intend to say will land 100% accurately with your recipients. Test, test, test with your audience - Too many people spend months working on an offer they never tested with real people! Be swift in your apology and clarify when misunderstanding happen. Mistakes and misunderstanding happen, act swiftly and maintain open and transparent communication with your audience so you never lose their trust in you! I sent the email below earlier...
