Three action-packed years ago,
James P. Friel and Dean Holland set out on a mission with one
objective: Launch a fun, value-packed podcast full of cutting edge
advice to help entrepreneurs take their business to the next
level.
The first few episodes of Just
The Tips were rocky, as James and Dean, both podcast newbies,
worked through the ins and outs and ups and downs of launching and
growing a successful podcast.
With three years of successful
podcasting under their belts, you’d expect the guys’ podcasting
experience to be smooth as silk. It’s definitely more efficient
than it used to be, but technical fails and other issues still pop
up, and do so for one unavoidable reason:
Challenges are a part of life.
If you want to get anywhere with anything, such as launch a product
or grow your business, the ability to roll with the punches and
find a way forward is a must. Yet an unfortunate number of people
give up on their dreams when adversity swoops in.
In this third anniversary
episode, James and Dean reveal their top tips to keep going when
your commitment to your dreams and goals is tested. Make no
mistake: It will be tested. Not once, not twice, but over and over
again. And each time, you’ll find yourself at a crossroads: Give
up, or dig in your heels and keep going.
If you want to be the person who
digs in their heels and keeps going, check out this
episode.

3 major points discussed
- Don’t know what you’re doing? You’ll learn!
When James and Dean launched Just
The Tips three years ago, they had no idea how to launch and grow a
successful podcast. But they went for it anyway. Due diligence
ahead of time is always a great idea, but some things you can only
learn as you go. Waiting to move forward until everything is
“perfect,” or until you finally feel qualified, means you’ll never
move forward. You’re never going to feel fully qualified, and
nothing will ever be “perfect.”
- It’s not about you.
There are people you can help NOW.
By procrastinating, or even giving up on, your dreams, you’re
depriving them of your help. Imagine if you called an ambulance
because you were in excruciating pain, and when the EMTs arrived,
they just stood outside and stared at you through your living room
window. When you allow your own limiting beliefs to derail you,
you’re doing to the people you could be helping what the EMTs did
in this example scenario. Your message is too important for you to
keep sitting on it!
- What matters more than great products? Concern that your product’s no good is a giant
roadblock for a lot of entrepreneurs. Yes, product quality is
important, but there are ways you can ensure it’s a great product,
and still get it into the world before hell freezes over. James and
Dean share one must-do and one must-have for creating profitable
products that get people results. Tune in to hear all the
details.
