10 LESSONS I LEARNED FROM 10 PODCAST EPISODES

by Dhiren Bhatia / August 10, 2020

I published my first episode five months ago. What a journey in producing this content and sharing it with YOU, this has been! Following a year and a half year of planning – and the pandemic – deliberation, thinking and dreaming, I was finally hitting the record button. It’s been an exciting start!

Why did it take me that long? Well, I could attribute this to a long list of excuses. Some of them included being too busy, not sure whether I’d sound professional enough, and not having enough time. Looking back, I realize these were excuses – not reasons.

As we approach 1000 downloads, this has been more of a learning experience than I would have ever imagined. If asked, I would attribute my podcast’s success to two things: dedicating one day of the week to podcasting (I have chosen Tuesdays for this) and having a set process.

All in all, I am still learning, trying to improve my craft, and thoroughly enjoying the process.

This episode is dedicated to sharing the 10 big lessons I have learned in creating the Elevated Entrepreneurs Podcast, and some of the things I have loved and loathed while trying to navigate the growth of this show.

Ready? Let’s dive in!
