Your listening to the online marketing made easy podcast episode number 165.

Welcome to the online marketing made easy podcast business advice so easy you'll feel like you're cheating and now your host Amy Porterfield.

Well, hey there. Welcome back to another episode of the online marketing made easy podcast. I'm your host Amy Porterfield and today we are talking about how to troubleshoot your biggest webinar challenges.

Now, if you are doing webinars right now and things aren't going as you had hoped or if you're thinking about doing webinars or you've done webinars in the past and the results were less than dismal so you're a little gun shy to do them again.

Then you my friend are in the perfect place right now. This is a must listen to podcast if you are in any of those scenarios.

Now, before we get into the troubleshooting areas that I want to dive into today, I want to talk to you about something that came up in one of my Facebook groups.

So recently I have been reworking my list builders lab program. So if you're in list builders lab, you're going to get a whole lot of brand new content coming your way.

And if you've been thinking about joining my list building program, it's going to be brand new very, very soon. So I'll talk about that when we go live with the brand new stuff.

But I've been diving into surveys about the program from my students ways to make it better where they're struggling if they're not getting to the finish line. Why is that?

And so I have over 350 at this point, it might be more like 400 surveys that I've collected and literally pouring over all of the details.

And then I took all of that information and asked more questions in my list builders lab Facebook group to really narrow down some of the big topics.

As a side note, next week's episode is how I reworked an existing online training program since I'm doing it right now with list builders lab. I thought I would share with you exactly how I rework a program that's next week's episode number 166.

Anyway, that's a side note. So I've been in the thick of redoing this program looking over surveys and here's something that has come up again and again and again.

The word overwhelm any which way you want to say it. I'm overwhelmed. This is filling overwhelming. Overwhelm is taking over overwhelm overwhelm overwhelm. I hear that word probably 20 times a day from my students in my groups.

And then the word is probably the most used word throughout all of these surveys. And because I was just really intensely into these surveys the other day.

It just really stuck out to me that we use this word way too much to hold us back. And the reason that I'm bringing it up here and forgive me my students who have already heard this in the group stay with me here.

But the reason I'm bringing it up now is that you can't keep telling yourself that you're overwhelmed all the time because guess what's going to happen.

You're going to stay overwhelmed. There's nothing good that could come out of telling yourself every day. I'm stressed out. I'm overwhelmed. This is too hard. I can't figure out the tech.

And I mentioned this somewhere else. I don't think on the podcast. But I recently had lunch with a good friend of mine, Elizabeth Dielto.

And Elizabeth and I go way back to our Marie Forleo mastermind days. And she said that she hears this a lot in her groups as well.

And she's a tough little New Yorker. And she said, this is what I say to my students. I say, if you're so overwhelmed, if you're so stressed out, if you're miserable, then maybe you shouldn't be an entrepreneur.

Maybe you should go back to your nine to five job or just quit this whole idea altogether. Just don't do it because no one said you have to do this.
