S1 4. 7 Goals You Can Set For Your Podcast

Have you figured out exactly what your podcast purpose is?

This episode will give you the guidance and examples you need so that you can determine what will make your show successful.

I’ve worked with dozens of podcasters in the past 10 years, and I’ve seen shows being used in totally different ways by people with the same job title.

Having a goal for your podcast is as important as getting in a new car and knowing exactly where you're going, but also which roads you need to take in order to get there, just like a GPS, right? A GPS can guide you on your journey, but you're still in the driver's seat, so it's up to you to:

Make decisions about where to go, (how fast you want to get there)
Which roads to take, (the format it needs to be)
How much gas you need in your tank (AKA how long your seasons need to be),
which roads are the most efficient (what platforms you need to be on the track the fastest), etc etc.
