Yeah, I know — that opening line screams clickbait. But stick with me … there's a truth-bomb behind the tease. Every week, the gurus churn out fresh reasons to panic: “The algorithm has changed again!” “You’re falling behind!” “You must do THIS or be irrelevant!” Honestly? It’s exhausting. And mostly hype. That’s why I stay rooted in what doesn’t change: Human behavior. Listen to this episode for the full story.

Visit https://BobBakerInspiration.com/lab to learn more about The Impact Formula Lab, where I help heart-centered, purpose-driven people like you turn their wisdom and expertise into impact and income. When I published music marketing books in the ‘90s, I didn’t pose as an industry expert. I was just a curious musician sharing helpful insights in a way that fellow artists could relate to. And it worked. I built a career doing that for 15 years. When I started posting affirmation videos on YouTube in 2017, I didn’t slap on a robe and call myself Swami Bobba Baker. Nope. I hit “record” as Bob — no pretense, just heart. That channel has grown to 425,000 subscribers and 75 million views. So yeah, I’ve seen firsthand what happens when you lead with authenticity.

YouTube, podcasts, email, books, courses … my numbers are impressive. But, despite the story you keep telling yourself, here’s the truth: You don’t need a big audience to make an impact (and make money). In fact … a small, focused audience can generate better results.

In this episode, I share powerful insights on how to simplify your journey, take action, and gain clarity—without waiting for the perfect plan. 🎯 Too often, we stress about finding the "right" path when the truth is, success comes from experimenting, taking baby steps, and paying attention to what resonates with others.
