Bonus: Year in Review: What Worked, What Didn’t, What’s Coming in 2020

Show Notes

This is a secret bonus episode - my podcast editor doesn’t know about it, neither does my assistant (shhh!).

I had originally planned to do a “year in review” episode, but as early December became mid-December and the holidays were upon us, I got busy and decided to skip it.

But, I’ve found myself enjoying listening to other podcasters talk about their year and what worked for them. 

So, here’s my review of what worked this past year, what didn’t, and what’s coming in 2020.

I cover the business, the podcast, visibility, social media, sales approaches, and personal experiences.

At the end, I sum everything up into 3 big lessons, including my biggest lesson, which was a surprise for me.

Wishing you a happy, healthy, and prosperous 2020!
