Which fruit are you?

I was eating a banana last night, and reflecting on what a thoughtfully convenient little fruit it really is:

  • You can see from the outside if it’s to your taste – green, yellow, brown it goes.
  • It’s so easy to unpack and get to what’s inside
  • Not messy and you can easily consume it when you’re mobile
  • Delicious and leaves you feeling satisfied
  • Great value for all the benefits it provides

Earlier in the afternoon, I’d wrestled with an orange, that by contrast:

  • Was a massive challenge to get into
  • Lots of wasted rind and pith to scrape off
  • Made my eyes sting as it squirted its evil juices at me
  • Was sour as hell inside, and loads of work just to find out
  • Gave me next to no reward for all the effort

Can you see where this is going?

That’s right.

If you’re trying to sell me something, let me put it this way:

Less orange. More banana.

7 ways to ruin any podcast

You know when you get invited to “guest” on someone’s podcast?

And you know how you show up, all experty?

And afterwards, do you remember thinking, “WTF was all that about?”.

Well, keep it up.

Here are seven steps to ensure podcasts will always be a big fat waste of time for you:

1: Don’t bother researching the podcast target audience. Just blather on about your favourite topic. They’ll love it anyway.
2: Don’t find out what the host is going to ask you. Playing it by ear is way better than having any kind of structure.
3: Don’t set any objective for your participation. Who cares if you got nothing out of it? Podcasts are fun, right?
4: Never enquire about the size of their audience. It’s none of your business, and they might think you’re rude.
5: Don’t do a sound-check beforehand. This ain’t the BBC, so it doesn’t matter if you sound like a wartime fighter pilot.
6: Don’t promote your appearance anywhere round your social. The host’s reach is plenty enough to get you famous.
7: Have a really hard-to-spell domain name so nobody catches it when it gets read out. If they’re interested, they’ll find you.

In short, podcasts.

Yea!

What you DON’T do

When you’re coaching or therapising, it’s important to be clear where your boundaries lie. 

  • What don’t you offer?
  • Who don’t you work with?
  • What don’t you give as a discount?

And this shouldn’t be some internal secret.

It should infuse and inform all your branding, marketing and sales conversations.

Since I’ve been laser-focused on serving our community, I don’t get approaches from anyone who isn’t a coach or a therapist.

Nor do even they connect unless they want to crack the code of client attraction without paid advertising.

Total clarity on what you’re prepared and not prepared to do saves wasting time. 

Yours, and ours.

Jonny

I just saved you three months’ work

“More effort is wasted doing things that don’t matter than is wasted doing things inefficiently.
Elimination is the highest form of optimization.”

~ James Clear

And in your 21st century coaching or therapy business, you can easily while away your days on low-impact, time-heavy, superficially rewarding tasks that look like real work:

Redesigning your website
[HINT: you’re not a designer, and you probably don’t need a website anyway]

Writing a blog
[HINT: Audience Before Content – curate a community of people who might read it first]

Launching a podcast
(HINT: as above, don’t do this as a vanity project. You need a following who’ll listen to it]

Building a programme
[HINT: sure, create something to sell, but it doesn’t have to be perfect, and the simpler the better]

Registering your company
[HINT: lol]

IN SUMMARY THEN…

If you could just do one massively impactful thing today, leveraging your time and maybe even making you some money – TODAY! – there’s no argument:

“Start a conversation with someone who looks like your next ideal client.”

You’re welcome.

Love you lots
Jonny

The Madness of King Bob

I’ve been privileged recently to guest on the wonderfully quirky 808 Podcast hosted by Bob Clark, who’s quite bonkers. 

Mad as a box of frogs, as I observed affectionately.

His crazy idea is that all his shows have to last precisely 8 minutes and 8 seconds, as 8.08 spells BOB.

His programmes and products are priced at $80.8 and $808 etc…you get the idea.

What Bob reminded me:

  • Who says podcasts have to last an hour? Your game, your rules.
  • Being different is how you stand out
  • Dividing your audience is what builds your tribe
  • Making people smile makes marketing easier
  • When you hit on something good, spread it across your whole business

What are you doing to be shamelessly different?

The power of bite-size

Do you sometimes feel like not sitting down to a full-blown lunch, and just take mini-breaks for snacks throughout the day instead?

How about consuming content?

Maybe listening to a one-hour podcast or reading a 2,000-word article is something you’ll just NEVER get round to.

That’s why these Daily Brain Tattoos are never more than a minute-or-two’s read, and why the audio versions play in a single minute.

Since I started reading them out-loud as Alexa Flash Briefings almost a year ago, thousands of people have downloaded and listened to them.

Try my snacks, then make some of your own!

Podcasting and the art of getting found

Something strange has been happening over the last couple of weeks.

I’ve been getting Real Estate professionals from a certain part of the US asking to join my Facebook Group.

Not a few, but like 3-5 a day for a fortnight.

They’re not really my niche, so I assumed it was some AI glitch in the FB algorithm.

Then, I asked one of these property guys, hey, how did you find my Group?

He said, we heard you on a podcast!

Boom!

So, one podcast recording I’d been invited on out of the blue – I’d even half-forgotten I’d done it – and 50 people who didn’t know me before now want to engage with me.

That shows the power of guest-podcasting, but it also shows how it pays to be open to opportunities, and to give stuff a try even when you don’t know it’ll work.

Note to self: get on more podcasts…

Jonny

PS – Here’s a quick note for you. The Inner Circle subscriptions are going up to $99 a month for new joiners after 30th September, so there are only a few left at half that. Check it out here, and if the button works, grab a membership now.
