Rock Your Purpose Podcast Emily Perry – Motivational Speaker and Coach

We do it all the time: we say we want some result, some goal, some type of relationship in our lives... but then we talk ourselves out of it.

We tell ourselves the story of not being ready...

But the truth is, being ready is a myth...

And so on this episode of the show, we dive into WHY we tell ourselves these stories, and how to climb your way out into the life you want to live.

Let's dive in!

Welcome back to the Rock Your Purpose Podcast. Today is a special episode because we're diving headfirst into something that's been on my heart for quite some time now.

This podcasting journey began back in 2014.

Can you believe it? I have been podcasting now for 9 years!

And During that time, I was a young mom who firmly believed that each of us carries a unique purpose, and that our voices possess incredible power.

I was deeply immersed in the world of teaching yoga, which led me to launch this podcast, initially titled "The Essence of Yoga." I felt compelled to introduce conversations around yoga that I felt were missing in the online discourse.

Simultaneously, I sought to cultivate a following for my yoga teaching and coaching, all while discovering my true voice and purpose. I poured my heart into my show.

Now, nearly a decade later, I'm still here, podcasting.

Yet, things have evolved.

Both this show and our community have flourished in tandem with my personal growth.

Back then, I could never have foreseen how this podcasting journey would spark a mission to empower individuals like you to amplify their impact through podcasting.

But here we are. 

Recently, I have been obsessed with the power of podcasting, and so I just knew I had to create AMPLIFY: Launch Your Podcast Revolution, to help you uncover and harness the true potential of podcasting for yourself.

So in this episode, I'm talking about the incredible potential of podcasting. It's not just about speaking into a mic; it's about igniting a movement. That's why I created the AMPLIFY: Launch Your Podcast Revolution program.

Join us: the doors close soon, and we only have a few spots available.

Welcome back to another powerful episode of the Rock Your Purpose Podcast. Today we're diving deep into a topic that's absolutely crucial for every purpose-driven leader out there.

First off, can we just take a moment to acknowledge how incredible this journey has been? We're at Episode 174, and I am overflowing with gratitude for each and every one of you. Your support, your love - it's what keeps this movement alive and thriving.

Now, let's get right into the heart of today's discussion: "Message Ignored? The Real Reason You’re Not Building a Following." Get ready, because we're about to uncover some game-changing insights.

The Frustration of Being Unheard
Alright, let's get real. You've got a message that's not just important, it's vital. You’ve poured your heart and soul into your work, but somehow, it feels like your words are vanishing into thin air. Maybe you’ve even found yourself spending endless hours on social media, trying to gather followers and enroll them in your offerings, only to see minimal results.

Believe me, you’re not alone.

A Personal Journey of Finding My Voice
I vividly remember a time when I felt like I was shouting into the void. I had this burning message, a purpose that was my North Star, but it seemed like no one was listening. It felt like I was spinning my wheels on social media, trying to get noticed. It's frustrating, disheartening, and it can make you question if you’re on the right path.

You Are Seen, You Are Heard
But here's the truth, my friend: you are not invisible, and your message is not falling on deaf ears. There’s a missing link, a piece of the puzzle that, once discovered, will change everything.

The Key Ingredient: Visibility
So, what’s this missing ingredient? It’s something called visibility. It's not about spending hours upon hours on social media, trying to amass followers who might not even be your ideal audience. It’s not about shouting from the rooftops or being everywhere at once. It's about strategic, intentional visibility.

The Power of Finding Your People
Let's start with finding your people. It's not about amassing a large following, but about connecting with the right individuals who resonate with your message. These are the ones who will become your most devoted supporters and champions.

Choosing Your Platform: Podcasting, YouTube, and Pinterest
The best platforms for creating consistent, evergreen visibility are podcasting, YouTube, and Pinterest marketing. These are all SEO-driven platforms that people turn to when they have a problem or want to learn more about something. The idea is that your content offers insight into the solution.

The Truth About Social Media Platforms
Creating a content universe that drives actual traffic to your site, not just likes on an app, is key. The truth is that these apps are not designed to have you move off the platform.

Pivoting for Success
So, what might not be working for you in building your movement? We’ll explore actionable steps to pivot:

Choose an SEO-driven hub for your content universe. Create weekly content (at a minimum) to drive traffic and build authority. Get your voice out there – guest write for content magazines in your niche, reach out for podcast interviews (with you as the interviewee), collaborate with others in your niche. Communicate consistently with your community via email marketing. No, email is not dead but alive and kicking!
Before we wrap up today's episode, I want to leave you with this: Your message matters. Your voice is needed. And together, we're going to make sure it's heard.

Thank you for being a part of this incredible community. Remember, you are seen, you are heard, and you are making a difference.

We've all experienced it – setting ambitious goals, starting the journey towards them, only to be derailed by life's unexpected challenges. It could be work-related busyness, personal matters taking precedence, or simply a loss of motivation. Life has its way of throwing obstacles in our path.

Regardless of the reason, it's natural to feel disheartened and wonder if progress toward our goals is even possible. I recently found myself in a similar situation after a couple of years filled with changes, travel, and an arm injury that kept me away from my yoga practice. It was evident that I had veered off course.

So if you've been experiencing something similar, this episode is for you – join me as I share some effective strategies to help you get back on track and conquer your most significant goals.

In all the roles I find myself in – as a mom, wife, entrepreneur, yogi, writer, team member, and leader – at some point have met resistance.

And I bet you've felt this too... because everywhere I look lately – online and in my life – I see conversations around resistance coming up for people.

So I wanted to have a little heart-to-heart... just the 2 of us, about resistance, and how it's a good sign. As Tony Robbins says, challenges and obstacles can become opportunities for growth if we let them – it all depends on our mindset!

In this episode, I cover the 5 key habits and strategies to help you overcome resistance and challenges – so you can achieve your goals.

Habit #1: Cultivate a growth mindset. Habit #2: Break it down into manageable steps. Habit #3: Practice self-care. Habit #4: Shift your mindset – see resistance in a new light. Habit #5 Find support.

Each and every one of us has a purpose, a reason for being here on this earth. But for many of us, finding that purpose and living a purpose-driven life can be a daunting task.

So on this episode of show we're talking about just that – join me as I dive into three steps you can take to feel motivated again – so you can get back on track and feel inspired.
