<p>We are humbled to have John Lee Dumas, aka JLD grace us with his presence from Puerto Rico on today’s show. JLD is a serial entrepreneur and has a lot of knowledge and wisdom around entrepreneurship.</p> <p>JLD is a veteran. He spent eight years in the US military. In this episode, our guest will be sharing great tips. Listen in and learn.</p> <p>Mindset </p> <p>The right mindset is critical to take the first step because there are so many people that are just in this holding pattern because they have limiting beliefs. They have the imposter syndrome, which they say, who am I to launch a podcast to create a YouTube channel to create this product or develop this service? They don’t have the right mindset. Surround yourself with other like-minded individuals who are also struggling with mindset, who also have limiting beliefs. Together, you can be like all ships rise in a high tide; you can help each other, support each other, hold each other accountable.</p> <p>Monetizing a Podcast</p> <p>There’s no quick way to monetize a podcast. A podcast is a long-term game; you need to say to yourself, “I’m going to create a piece of content, which is a podcast, and I’m going to be in this for the long haul. I’m going to create 12 months’ worth of content. I’m going to continue to be consistent. You know, I’m going to continue to show up, and I’m going to deliver great value and real solutions to a real problem. I’m going to build up trust with my audience.”</p> <p> Once you’ve built up that and trust with your audience over time, go to them and ask what they are struggling with right now? Once you know their biggest struggle, create a fantastic solution for them. You can offer that as a product or a service or a community or coaching or whatever that might be. Podcasting takes time.</p> <p>JLD’s Inner Super Power </p> <p>Consistency 100%. He did 2000 episodes in 2000 days. So every day.
