Side Hustle Spark 127: Create a podcast for an audience of one: You

Stay with me on this…

First, it’s probably nothing new. But…

I was thinking about my previous post— Sonia Simone’s 101 Conversion Strategies.

Great list with applicable ideas for all levels of entrepreneurs.

Something worth carrying around in one form or another.

So, today, I’ll use Audacity or GarageBand to record myself reading the list.

And…

  • I’ll play back that mp3 at convenient times [walking, yard work, decluttering].
  • Its repeated reminders of effective strategies will accumulate over time and across different projects.
  • I’ll be doing the same with other favorite posts or passages from books.

Give it a shot.

Have a great Monday.
