Over the last few years, we've co-produced over 300 episodes (and growing) of the Marriedpreneur Life podcast. In addition, the article/blog you're reading has been produced daily (7 days a week) for the past several months and nearly a month in advance.
Our consistency is one of the secret sauces that sets us apart.
But it hasn't always been that way.
In fact, years ago, we both had an individual podcast/ Youtube show, and we didn't get past the first ten episodes before we fell off.
What changed?
Was it easier the second time? No, not really.
It hasn't been just one thing but a series of small items that have made a big difference.
If you two have been struggling with consistency, especially when creating business content, this is for you.
Here are some hacks that have taken us from the start-stop cycle to being consistent in all seasons:
- Know your limits: Start small and build your muscle of consistency; maybe that's once a month, then twice a month, then more.
- Accountability: It's undeniable that when we started working together and holding each other accountable, our consistency took off. This part is often overlooked as marriedpreneurs, but we have built-in accountability partners with each other.
- Batch It: Set clear goals. How far in advance do you want to have your content done that will give you the freedom to do a little at a time and still be ahead?
- Time It: Set aside special time to create and produce it. Use a timer and watch how much more you'll accomplish! There's something about being under a countdown timer that makes us get laser focused!
- Outsource: We have a team that focuses on the technical aspects so that we can focus on the content. It didn't start that way; we grew into it. Having the right support makes a world of difference!
