How Not to Launch a Podcast and Other Lessons From My First Six Months in Business

On This Solo Episode of Second Half Comeback, I talk about the mistakes I made and lessons I learned during my first six months in business. My hope is that you'll learn from my silly mistakes and achieve your Second Half Comeback in record time!

Here are a few of the key takeaway lessons from this episode:

• Have a Plan. An imperfect plan, well executed, is still better than no plan.
• Have a start plan. stop wasting time trying to find the perfect plan. Just have a plan and get started.
• Now, practice the habit of just sitting your ass in a chair and doing the work...day after day, week after week. Execute your plan.
• Consistency Counts.
• Having a consistent publishing schedule matters. Honestly, I don't know why but it does. I was inconsistent and my growth suffered.
• Consistency of effort, work, focus is EVERYTHING! Taking action only leads to success if you do it consistently and if you're able to force yourself to do it even when you're not feeling it.
• So the magic happens when you combine the two lessons above: Plan on being consistent. Plan on grinding...plan on simply putting your ass in the chair and working on your imperfect plan, day after day after day!
• Model-Don't try to reinvent the wheel. Model what's already working. After you gain some traction and learn what the hell you're doing...then and only then you can innovate and add your own unique spin.
• Having tons of connections, followers and "friends" is great but it is essential that you intentionally seek out and connect deeply with a small group of passionate, giving, like minded rockstars. Find your team. Recruit your inner circle. This may be the single biggest determinant of your success in business and life

Action Step:  Deliberately start looking for extraordinary people to join your inner circle. Go above and beyond with your efforts to connect. Give freely. Ask for help and take note of who steps up for you. Work on this everyday until you have a rock solid inner circle. This is absolutely life changing!
