Ever felt stuck chasing perfection? This episode is your permission slip to let it go.

This episode of the Rhythm of the Road Podcast focuses on why the myth of perfection is holding you back, and how embracing failure, consistency, and persistence is what truly moves you forward. From looking at it from a toddler's perspective of baby steps to full-on sprints, we're exploring how falling down is part of the process and why getting back up matters most.

I'm sharing a raw, motivational take on the importance of learning through failure, trusting your unique journey, and staying committed to your goals, even when the road gets rough. Whether you’re starting a business, shifting careers, or chasing a dream, this one’s for you. You'll walk away with a renewed sense of power to keep pushing forward imperfectly, but persistently.

– Why perfection is a trap!

– Learning through failure.

– How to avoid quitting early.

– Redefining success and staying the course.

"You’re not perfect because you're human, and that's okay. Just don’t quit, because the moment you stop trying is the only time you truly fail."

Begin with the end in mind. It's timeless advice that we invite into today's episode, where we're causing authors to rethink when and how they start planning for their audiobook. Instead of treating the audiobook as an afterthought once the book is complete, I'm making the case for integrating audio considerations from the very beginning. You'll hear how thinking about narration style and extra content early on can result in a more conversational, compelling, and engaging audiobook experience.

Maybe you didn't know how collaboration with publishers, editors, or even co-narrators can elevate your audiobook to something far more dynamic? Strategies like these show how audio-exclusive content, staggered releases, and reader-listener psychology can extend the life and impact of your book. If you're an author in the writing or editing phase, or even still outlining, this episode is a roadmap for how to create an audiobook that's not only valuable but unforgettable.

- Why audiobook planning should begin in the outline phase.

- Using audio to enhance stories that don’t fit in the print.

- Collaborating with others in audiobook narration.

- The dual value of print + audio for maximum retention.
