Sean's Podcast - Saving Your Future - How it came about

I recently created a podcast.  Well, recently means this past summer.   I wanted to get a number of episodes under my belt and get some experience with it. 

What I can say at this point is that if there is something you are interested in trying out, go for it.  The process has been fun.  Am I good at it?  Not quite yet, but I feel like I am getting better and better.  There isn't much of a barrier to entry and I had the opportunity to put it on Google Play Music as well as iTunes.   It started out on Soundcloud and now I am moving it to Libsyn.

To podcast I recommend you invest in a halfway decent microphone and maybe an audio interface.  You can use Audacity to record and edit it and that is free.

Even if podcasting isn't for you, the moral of the story is look into what you have been meaning to do and figure out how to do it.  Then get going.  Even if it isn't perfect, you have to start somewhere.

Saving Your Future- Taking my book to Youtube

As many of you may know, I wrote a book on how to secure a successful financial future and I published it in 2013.

After the publication, I purchased my first small business and focused my efforts there.  It's definitely been challenging and rewarding as I have worked with some very good people and I learn more and more every day on how to be a better boss and a better businessman.

With almost 3 years in the cellular business, I wanted to take some time to evaluate and focus on other efforts as well.  As a result, I decided I am going to make videos for my book and post them on YouTube to accomplish one of two objectives, but hopefully both.

Objective 1 - Sell More Books.  Over the past few years I have sold somewhere around 2-3 books per month with minimal amount of focus or promotion. Let's face it, growing a small business and also growing a not as small family takes time.  I am hoping that the YouTube channel will allow me to get the word out about my book a bit more and drive additional sales.  I also see it as intriguing to see if this will help increase sales and I'm the type of person that finds this type of experiment interesting.

Objective 2 - Share the information.  To me, it's so important in life to share what you have, what you know and what you have learned with others.  I feel like if you know something that can help someone else succeed, it's your obligation to share it.  I also find it rewarding to help others and I believe it also helps me learn.

With that, take a look at my YouTube Channel
