Master Your Message: Make an impact through podcasting Allison Nitsch | Podcast Manager

Welcome back to Master Your Message. In today’s episode, I dived into the paralyzing trap of perfectionism. As I share my own struggles with waiting for perfection before starting, I explain how this affected me when launching my business. Despite the desire for a flawless launch, I hope to emphasize the importance of starting—imperfectly. Growth and unexpected outcomes come from simply beginning. Whether it's starting a podcast, a business, or any venture, I invite you to embrace imperfection and take that crucial first step. Join me as I provide practical advice on overcoming perfectionism and explain why taking imperfect action is far superior to waiting on the sidelines.

Have you ever been so excited to start something, but then after a little while you realize it's just not for you? A lot of the time we know we have this message or this knowledge or whatever it might be, and we also know that having a podcast will get that message out there. But what happens when you wanna change your mind about what you're talking about? This causes you to not even start because you are already worried about what you'll talk about and about what will happen if you wanna change that. Is it even okay to change your messaging? And that's what this episode is all about.

Why is it that when it comes to podcasting, all we hear about is how to grow your downloads? Most people think that that's what they should be focusing on … how many downloads should I have? What's the best number of podcast downloads? What should I be aiming for? And the truth is, it just depends. What's good for you may not be good for another podcast host, and what's good for another podcast host may not be in your realm of expertise. 
A lot of people are going to be telling you that you need to focus on how to grow your show by getting more downloads. And I am going to go against the grain here and say I disagree on that. 
Now, yes, downloads are important. They are an important metric to track to see that you are growing. However, I don't think that's what you should focus on. For one, it's going to stress you out when you don't see the downloads you think you should be getting. And who's to say what you should be getting is what you really need. 
In today's episode, I want to talk about what you should be focusing on when it comes to your podcast, and in return, the downloads will follow.
