Struggling to grow your podcast, even though you're putting in the work? You might be making one of the biggest mistakes podcasters make: trying to appeal to too many people. But don’t worry, I’ve got you covered!
Download our your Perfect Podcast Listener Worksheet to help you work out who your ideal listener is.
If your podcast feels like it’s not reaching the right people (or any people at all), this episode is for you! The biggest mistake podcasters make is trying to speak to everyone, and ending up connecting with no one. Today, I’m sharing why getting specific with your audience is the secret to podcast growth, and how niching down will actually make content creation easier, not harder.
I’ll walk you through real-life examples of podcasters who struggled with broad messaging and how they found success by narrowing their focus. Plus, I’ll share practical steps to help you define your ideal listener so you can create episodes that truly connect and keep listeners coming back for more.

Podcasting for Business Owners - 32. Launching a podcast when you’re a perfectionist
play

03/04/25 • 5 min

Ever felt stuck in the endless loop of "It has to be perfect before I launch"?
You’re not alone. Perfectionism is one of the biggest things stopping people from starting their podcast, and I’ve been there too. In this episode, I share how perfectionism shows up in podcasting, from worrying about how you sound to feeling like you need to know everything before you hit record. You don’t.
I’ll walk you through practical tips on how to move past the fear of not being good enough and how to embrace the messy first steps. You'll learn how even experienced media professionals have felt this pressure and how they found the courage to start anyway.
I’m also sharing my own experiences of scripting every solo episode (yes, even now!) and how podcasting is something you get better at by doing, not by waiting for the perfect moment.
If you’ve been waiting for permission to just start, this is it. You’ll finish this episode feeling encouraged to stop waiting for perfect and start recording instead. And remember, your podcast will grow and improve as you keep showing up!
Connect with me on Instagram @podcast.support.services and let me know: What’s been holding you back from starting your podcast? I’d love to hear your story!
