Summary

Are you feeling discouraged in your podcasting journey? Maybe you’re facing rejection, challenges, or doubts that make you want to throw in the towel.

0:00.0	Have you ever stopped and really thought about the fact that nothing incredible, cool, fun,
0:06.5	you know, world changing, life changing would be here if the person or people had quit when they
0:14.5	first got started? I mean, take Thomas Edison and the light bulb. He reportedly tried thousands
0:20.0	of materials before finding one that worked for the electric light bulb. He reportedly tried thousands of materials before finding one that
0:22.1	worked for the electric light bulb. He famously said, I have not failed. I've just found 10,000
0:26.9	ways that won't work. He persisted and his persistence resulted in a revolutionary invention
0:32.8	that transformed how we live and work. Look up. Do you have a light bulb on? Thanks, Tom, for not giving up.
0:38.7	What about Walt Disney and Disneyland? However you feel about it, put that aside for a minute to
0:43.7	recognize that Walt Disney faced numerous setbacks, including early failures being told he lacked

1:07.9	And J-Kee Rowling in the Harry Potter series faced 12 rejections before the first
1:13.1	Harry Potter was accepted. At the time, she was a single mother on government assistance,

1:24.4	something incredible. It's something great. It's something wonderful. I believe that
1:28.4	God has positioned you to use your voice and your trials and the things you've walked through
1:34.3	to triumphantly spread the good news of what he has done and what he has equipped you with with the
1:41.5	world. Now, I know that's really big and audacious and you're like, but Steph, I just want to make a hundred bucks a month for my podcast. You don't even know
1:49.0	the plans he has for you. But let me tell you what I do know for sure. I know for sure that most
1:56.4	people give up on podcasting before they actually get started. And crazy stat, 80% of podcasts actually fail.
