Episode Highlights:
01:22 - This is a small world. The podcast world is a small world even though there's millions of podcasters or whatever. I don't want to be known as a guy who doesn't show up, doesn't admit that he's wrong. I've had people that I've had to return money back, and they go, "Hey, cool. Let me know when you're on to the next one," because I built trust. Maybe that was a $6,000 gig. Next time I bring $10,000, they'll be careful, but they'll be open to it. Like, they even said, "Hey, when you're ready for the next one, let us know." I built trust, and I try to do that, and I've made mistakes, and I try to make them right, but I'm always moving forward. So, other actionable things, have a plan, try to create a plan. That's hard for me. So, the process of writing it out, hiring a consultant, having them take a look at it. Have them take a look at your processes and your deliverables. A lot of times, for a visionary, if you just go through that process, you'll go, "That can make me money," but I don't want to do that, so then scrap it.
