Episode 71 Podmas day 12 How to start a Podcast Part 1 Finding your ideal listener

Friday, December 13, 2019 • Duration 03:57

So you want to start a podcast, but you don't know where to start?

In the next four podmas episodes, I will teach you how to start planning your podcast.

Let's jump right in before you start thinking about the fun stuff like podcast name and album art. We need to think about who the podcast is, for we call this person an avatar or your niche. So, here we need to get super specific, is it a male or female, is it parents, kids, how old are they? What shows do they watch? Is it a show for Muslims, Christians, etc. or an atheist. What do they do for fun, what do they read. A little market research on social media will go a long way into finding where your ideal listener would hangout like Instagram, youtube, facebook, etc.

Once you have a clear picture of your Avatar/niche, you can start thinking of what content that person will take the time to listen.

Join me tomorrow for more information about podcasting.

Episode 69 Podmas day 10 Muslim family Winter traditions

Wednesday, December 11, 2019 • Duration 07:59

So the Christmas season is in full swing here in the states, and I usually have two thoughts that come into my head this time of year

As Muslims do, we create a sprite of celebration for our families for Eid? One that is memorable for our kids without making it all like Christmas in terms of decor and gifts.

I feel like in the age of small Muslim business, and we can go a little crazy in buying Muslim decorations, games, books, and toys because those of us who didn't grow up in a Muslim country didn't have that. Social media is about to start going crazy within a month with the Ramadan and Eid merchandise posts, and I would love to hear what you guys think about this because I, for one, I'm always torn about it. Last year I tried to reuse as much stuff as I could from previous years, and the few purchases I made were things I can continue to use in future Ramadans and Eids. That's the best compromise I could come up with.

The second thing that comes to mind is winter traditions. Growing up in Canada, I use to love the Christmas season, not because of the shirk and bidahs. But because everything was so festive, it was snowing, so we would go sledding, build snowmen, have snowball fights and the neighbors had their lights all up, the tv was full of feel-good movies and shows. Not to mention school, where I was always in the Choir and band, and Chrismas was the big performances. So while we didn't celebrate Christmas, there was still a lot of Christmas around. So I had to ask myself, do my kids have a winter tradition? And since we live in Texas, only two things came to mind. Our favorite things are Hot Chocholate and Home Alone 2. Our kids are not in any school clubs that have holiday events, and we get no snow, so that simplifies life.

I asked on Instagram today Does your family have any winter traditions

and some people answered yes, and some said no, some of the traditions included

-going tubing every yea and then going for desserts and hot chocolate.

Episode 67 Podmas day 8 How to set S.M.A.R.T goals

Monday, December 9, 2019 • Duration 04:13

It's that time of year when everyone is planning all their goals. Over the years, I've realized that while these set goals are important, it's even more critical to create a life that allows for goals to be completed.

You have things you want to accomplish, that trip to your favorite city. The degree you want to finish, the book you want to write, the course you want to create, but you don't know where to start.

That's where S.M.A.R.T. goals give you a defined method to plan so that you set a realistic goal and maximize a successful completion. Smart goals meaning:

Specific (simple, sensible, significant).

Goals, like I want to make more money, won't work, if you make a specific goal to make $10,000 there is a better chance of doing

Measurable (meaningful, motivating).

Ask yourself, what do I have to do to get the extra 10,000? do I need to sell more inventory?, work more hours, should I get an additional job

Achievable (agreed, attainable).

You have to be willing or capable of achieving this goal if you don't have a way to or the capacity to do it, you won't get it done

Relevant (reasonable, realistic, and resourced, results-based).

Decide if this is a goal that will have an impact on your life, and a benefit attached to it. i.e., if I have an extra 10,000, I can go to hajj, or pay off credit card debt. The advantage is that you complete an act of ibadah, or your free debt.

Time-bound (time-based, time-limited, time/cost limited, timely, time-sensitive).

When you set a deadline, you have a better chance of achieving the goal instead of just hoping and dreaming about it.

Episode 66 Podmas day 7 Everything Is Figureoutable

Sunday, December 8, 2019 • Duration 05:14

I finally finished listening to Marie Forleo's book, Everything Is Figureoutable, and I loved it. There are multiple reasons, but I think the one that has made the most significant impact on how I see my dreams is OPTIMISM.

This book shared stories where Marie and others used everything is figureoutable to get jobs, start a business, overcome a hardship. Whenever I read books or blogs posts about just working through a problem and taking a leap, I realize how important it is to believe in yourself and your work but as Muslims to also hold these beliefs

1. Tawakkul (reliance, trust in God's plan). Not only do we have to plan and work, but we also have to have a firm belief that the outcome is in Allah's control.
2. The power of Dua
3. Creating a life that allows barakah into it? Are you praying, are you fasting, do you eat and drink what permissible, do you give others their rights?

Share your everything if figureoutable moment below.
