Although I am (at times) not the most talkative person deciding to start a podcast was an easy one for me.
Now I am not saying that I didn’t have reservations about doing so.
As a matter of fact I was (and still am) nervous about doing it.
But here is what made all the difference for me…I had a big enough WHY!
You see I believe that when your WHY is big enough it makes decisions a whole lot easier.
The reason WHY for the Dream Work Project is simple…you can read more about it here.
I knew that in order to get my message out there and to inspire as many people as I could I had to start a podcast…it wasn’t even an option NOT to.
So now that you know my WHY here are the specific reasons I decided to start a podcast…
- To inspire others – I wanted to find and talk to people that were doing work that they loved to do. I wanted to share their stories so that people listening would feel inspired to do the same.
- To get my message out there – The message is simple. You don’t have to do work that doesn’t excite you or that you hate. Life is too short for that. Take a proactive approach and actively seek out and do work that you are passionate about, has meaning to you and fulfills you.
- To help as many people as possible TAKE ACTION – hearing inspiring stories can fire up there is no doubt about it. Getting all jazzed up about finding work that you love is only the beginning. I want this podcast to give people actionable steps to take so that they can make their dream a reality.
- To build relationships with cool people doing cool things – Passionate people doing things that matter to them and that are making a dent in world? How cool is that? I really couldn’t think of a better group of people to build relationships with.
- To learn from those cool people – I am a learner. I love to learn new things. I really love to learn new things in areas that I am truly interested in. Interviewing people who are doing cool and remarkable things is a great way to learn new things in the areas I am passionate about.
- To collaborate with cool – Building relationships with people can lead to some amazing things. By deciding to start a podcast and building relationships I am opening myself up to collaborations with some awesome people to do some awesome things together.
- To build credibility and trust – My ultimate goal is to inspire and help as many people as I can find and do work that they love doing. In order to do so I need credibility and trust. A podcast is a more intimate form of communication that allows you to get to know me and what I am all about on a much deeper level.
- To build my my brand, reputation and business – Helping people find the work that they were meant to do is my mission and I am very passionate about it. Building the Dream Work Project into a brand with a reputation for being the best at doing that is my goal. For those that need additional guidance I want this to be the place they turn to for answers. I know that by providing awesome value and genuinely helping people is a way to build a have a business that I love.
So, as you can see, my WHY was big enough so the decision to start a podcast was an easy one.
I hope it does all for you all that I intended!
