You're listening to the Mindset in Action podcast , the place to be to grow and streamline your business . I'm your host , donna Eade . Let's jump into the show . By failing to prepare , you're preparing to fail , benjamin Franklin . Well , welcome back to the podcast .
Everybody , this is going to be a very short episode and that is because preparing is so important , planning is so important , batching is so important . You may well be able to hear that my voice is not as it should be and I don't know how long it's going to hold out , so I feel like I'm talking through my nose right now .
My apologies , I was going to record an episode today , get it up for you so that it could be there , because this is like the first time I've missed an upload , and I'm not missing it because I'm putting this out , but this is not really a podcast episode .
I will talk more when my voice is available about how falling off the wagon of batching has really impeded my podcasting over the last few months , especially with the second podcast , which I did miss an upload for . That should have had an upload this Tuesday , the last episode in the series and I couldn't do it because I've been ill .
So I've been ill all last week with a cold and then I lost my voice towards the end of the week and it just still isn't right . So , unfortunately , you know quality over quantity and just removing the thing in my head that says you can't miss an upload , you can't miss an upload I have decided to sort of step back .
I didn't want to put out an episode on Tuesday that I wasn't happy with . Equally , I don't want to sit here and do a whole episode because literally I don't know how long my voice would last out , for I've had a couple of calls today and I ended up in a coughing fit on one of the calls .
So I don't want to risk that , and I also don't want to risk the quality of my voice degrading and me not really realising because I'm in the moment . So , unfortunately , this is going to be it . I'm just popping in to say I'm OK that I'm still here , that I will be back .
We have a great episode next week coming with a lady called Sarah who is an expert on using your network to build your audience . We had a great conversation . If you know me well , you'll know that I love networking . I host a Business Women Online networking meeting every month .
The next one is on the 18th of June and we have Diane Watson from she Can Prosper , the author of she Can Prosper , coming to talk to us . So I'll put all the links for that in the show notes if you want to come along to that networking meeting . But Sarah has got some great tips .
So definitely listen to next week's episode with Sarah to get some great tips . Then come along to my meeting on the 18th of June and put those tips into action . So I hope you have a fantastic week . I hope you enjoyed the bank holiday weekend .
Obviously I was poorly so I didn't really get to enjoy it much and obviously I think it rained for one day really rained badly so I just stayed in all weekend . So this is me . This is probably the shortest episode I've even ever done , even from like my first episode , but I just wanted to check in with you guys .
Let you know that I am okay because I've been a bit silent on social as well , because I've just not had the energy . So everything should be back to normal by next week , fingers crossed . The last episode of Mike Action Podcast , season one , is going to go out next Tuesday , so look out for that as well .
I'm also going to be doing a bonus episode for that one as well , so that's coming soon . Anyway , I'm going to stop talking now . I'm going to go and rest my voice and I will speak to you guys in the next one . Bye for now .
