Summary
When I go to speaking events and conferences, I usually talk with people about their personal goals and dreams. The question, "What's holding you back?" often comes up. They say they're just waiting for the perfect time or opportunity, but that never actually happens. I'll share how this relates to why I started my podcast and where I record my episodes… and here's a hint - it's not in a glamorous recording studio that I dreamed up.

| 0:00.0 | Hello, hello everyone. This is Tanya Dalton, owner of Inquell Press, and I'm here to give you another episode of The Weekender, a many episode to help you end your week on the right note. |
| 0:18.3 | When I meet with people at speaking events and conferences, many times they share |
| 0:23.0 | with me their secret big dreams and goals. And I always ask them, what's holding you back? |
| 0:28.7 | Oftentimes they stammer and they shuffle their feet and they say something like, well, |
| 0:34.0 | I'm not quite ready or I would, but I don't have the space. or I don't know how to do whatever it is they're wanting to do. |
| 0:42.1 | They're waiting, waiting and waiting for the perfect time, for the ideal situation, for the right piece of equipment. |
| 0:50.1 | But I'm here to tell you, there will never be a moment where the clouds part and the sun shines down |
| 0:56.3 | in a beautiful ray of light when you suddenly, unexpectedly, are finally ready. |
| 1:02.8 | That only happens in the movies. And let me tell you what I mean. About a year ago, I started dreaming |
| 1:08.6 | about starting a podcast. I knew I wanted to grow my mission further by creating a way for me to share more about productivity. |
| 1:17.1 | Wouldn't it be nice, I thought, to have a beautiful space with headphones and a fancy microphone, |
| 1:22.6 | just like a real studio, a place where I could go and sit and record this podcast, but I didn't have a |
| 1:29.3 | space like that. Let me ask you this. When you picture me podcasting, do you imagine me sitting in |
| 1:35.4 | an office with fancy equipment with someone standing by to help me with sounds and editing? That |
| 1:41.3 | couldn't be further from the truth. If I look to my right at this very moment, there are dresses and boots. |
| 1:48.5 | If I look behind me, there's a row of shirts and skirts. |
| 1:52.1 | And on my left, shoes. |
| 1:54.5 | Yep, I record each of these episodes in my closet. |
| 1:59.4 | It's honestly the room with the best acoustics for recording because of all |
| 2:03.5 | the clothes hanging on all the sides. I'm able to shut the door so any noises outside of the closet |
| 2:08.5 | aren't easily heard. I generally wait until my kids have gone to bed and then I drag in a chair |
