This sounds counterintuitive, doesn’t it? It is actually one of the building blocks of creating a successful podcast show, especially if you’ve been feeling uninspired or have felt your show isn’t growing the way you would have hoped. Contrary to popular belief, being consistent isn’t essential for a successful show, it is actually knowing when and how to take a break. Taking a break could be the difference between creating a podcast that is unfulfilling and has you in the negatives or creating an exciting 7 figure podcast business!  On today’s episode, our host Kevin Chemidlin educates us on how to create a strategy around taking a break. Kevin presents 5 criteria that are proven to help in understanding whether or not to take a break and how to measure each criteria. If all data points point to yes, then it’s time to determine what type of break to take. Yes, all breaks aren’t the same. Do you shut everything down and go on vacation to Hawaii, do you use the break to hunker down to create a new game plan for your podcast, or a little bit of both?  Kevin walks us through each criteria and more to help you decide if it is time for a hiatus that can help accelerate your podcast and avoid burnout. You don’t want to miss this one. Topics discussed in this episode: How consistency wasn’t the answer for Kevin’s first podcast “Philly Who” What happened when Kevin decided to take a break Reimagining the show while taking a break Creating room for new ideas The 5 criteria: A,B,C,D,E How to measure each criteria to make the decision to keep going or to take a break Combining the criteria to decide on two break scenarios 3 pitfalls of taking a break How to avoid these pitfalls Fears around taking a break The hack that will allow you to make money while taking a break Why consistency alone will not make your podcast successful Head to the Grow The Show website here for more information on how you can grow and monetize your podcast.
