Many people start podcasting with big dreams and quiet assumptions like
– “I’ll go viral after just a few episodes.”
– “High-profile guests will be eager to come on.”
– “This podcast will skyrocket my brand overnight.”
– “Sponsors will be pounding at my door in no time.”
But when the reality sets in slow listener growth, guests who never respond, and those late nights spent editing alone it’s easy to lose steam.
Misaligned expectations are the reason so many new podcasters call it quits before they see real results.
Consistency beats fantasies every time.
