3 Reasons You Haven‘t Started a Podcast & How to Take Action!
Hey Friend!
You believe you should have started a podcast by now, and you know God is calling you to do so. You know it’s the easiest way to scale a passive income business, but you are believing the lies from the enemy that are keeping you from the calling God has placed on your life.
We are going to talk about the three reasons why you haven’t started a podcast yet and how to overcome them. I will go over how these reasons could be keeping you from exponential growth.
The 3 Reasons You Haven’t Started a Podcast, Yet
1. You lack clarity on what God is calling you to do
The main reasons I tend to hear are:
- I don’t know what it would be called
- I don’t know what the episodes would be about
- I don’t know what the content pillars would be
- I don’t know who my niche market is
- I don’t know what my person’s number one problem is
Oftentimes, people are choosing to stay where they are because they are unclear. You are not alone. Not having clarity is a choice. I can give you clarity. That is why I created Clarify Your Calling.
The course takes you through things like your root statement, your I help statement, your tagline, your title, your avatar, and so much more! This course will give you clarity. So how do you overcome this?
- Sometimes we just need some proof of concept. Take your brand map and do some market research. Post in Facebook groups, and ask questions. Pick people’s brains about your topic. This is going to give you confidence.
- Come take Clarify Your Calling
- Push through because action brings clarity
You won’t actually know the answer to many of the questions until you start and begin to build an audience. Clarity is dead without action. You have to take the leap. Just go. It’s going to build a business that, over time, you will tweak, or maybe you rebrand later on. I did. It’s OK.
Clarity is a constant evolution. Even if you start today with 100% clarity, you are going to change and grow. Since God is calling you to this work, trust that He is going to continue guiding you along the way. There is never a finish line here
2. You are overthinking the “hows” with starting a podcast
- You are stuck in the perfectionism paralysis that takes over and steals from so many entrepreneurs.
- You don’t understand the tech or it’s too overwhelming.
- You think you need to wait until you get the coaching certificate, or you get that speaking class, or a special degree.
- Pray for provision. God will provide everything you need.
Perfectionism is a lie. It is a stealer of joy, a stealer of success and progress. It is a stealer of God’s favor over your life. When we show up in our imperfections, it allows other people to see us as real. It allows other people to resonate with us. We have to let go of control and realize that God will provide the resources for us to create the revelation for Him, to create kingdom change. We have to let go to let Him in.
3. You are afraid of your podcast failing
You are afraid of judgment and have worldly fear hanging over your head and your heart. This fear causes you to be terrified of publishing your podcast.
So how do you overcome this? Use those God-says statements and look to scripture!
- You are called
- You are chosen
- You are equipped
Don’t live your life in fear of what-ifs worrying about what hasn’t happened. If you do, you would end up doing nothing. You would just sit there like a seed in a package and never grow. Fear is a liar. It is not from God. We get to smash the lies of the enemy. Decide to partner with God’s truth. His truth is you are called, you are equipped, and you are beautifully and wonderfully made.
Open your mouth and He shall fill it. You are embodied by confidence, power, and anointing through the Holy Spirit. Fear is finished. Pray for protection over your heart and your mind. Don’t give fear the power. The second you click record and publish your first episode, all that power diminishes, your fear dissipates and you realize everyone is cheering for you.
