Thanks so much for listening to my first ever podcast! I’d really appreciate your feedback and comments. This was definitely a tremendous learning experience, and I want to continue to make this resource even better for you.
I owe a special thanks to Dan Andrews at Tropical MBA for encouraging me to give this a try, to Pat Flynn for his incredible podcasting tutorial, and to Stephan Noack of MediaSpace for his continued technical and design wizardry. Thanks guys!
Thank you for giving me a proactive kick in the butt! Because of the new responsibilities, I need a new schedule. I’m going to start with a maker’s schedule!
Alene – Thanks so much for listening in. Your podcast inspires me every time I see it in my subscriptions. You were the first person I knew to jump in and start podcasting. Thanks so much for your leadership and friendship.
Love this first episode. Way to make it happen!
It was a great reminder for me to block out some time and focus on the tasks and what time I needed to put aside for it.
Thanks Matt! I’m so glad there was some helpful information in there. So excited to see your project coming together. Still can’t wait to be your first customer š
Welcome to podcasting Kendra! You have a perfect voice for this. Now where is the cohost? (step up Rex)!
Love this episode. Especially the proactive vs reactive and using Google calendar. I have been doing these for sometime and have found them to be very effective. I even used to say you could measure proactive/reactive by how much you start vs how much you do for other people. An easy way to figure out where you’re at.
Thanks Joe! I learned from the best! š
I still remember when you showed me how to do those 301 redirects to change my post links on our first day in PG. That was my first attempt at really coding. Now I’m hooked.
And that’s a great point on the calendar. I like the idea of tracking how much is self-directed vs. responding.
