Why do so many podcasters fail?

There are a number of factors that can contribute to a podcaster pulling the plug on their show in the very early stages.

Many times, new podcasters enter the fray with unrealistic expectations about podcasting being easy and the whole world showing up to listen just because a new episode was published.

In addition, new podcasters often get fixated on download metrics and believe this is the only way to gauge success for their show.

Sometimes, podcasters get overwhelmed with the amount of work it takes to manage and maintain a podcast, meaning they didn't properly plan time into their schedule to carry out the tasks of production, communication, and promotion.

And in some instances, new podcast creators venture too far outside their zone of genius and try to create content that doesn't excite them or doesn't speak to their target audience, causing them to become disengaged, burnt out, and unhappy with the act of creating new content.

These are just a few potential reasons why someone may abandon their podcast efforts...

...and each of these items could've been avoided if these creators took time to establish a winning mindset before they ever pressed record.
