Are you looking for ways to transform your work habits with one simple mindset shift? Today I am here to share with you a way of thinking that has totally changed how I do business, especially when it comes to those tasks that you just don't feel excited to do.  Simply put, the 'future me' mentality is doing those hard, undesirable things now, with the understanding that they will not only pay off in the future, but they are doing you a big favor. By doing something now, you are taking care of yourself in the future.  In today's episode on transforming your work habits, I'm sharing the 'future me' mindset shift, where this mentality came from, how it's impacted my TPT business and examples of how you can apply it today. The best part? You can apply this mentality to your personal life as well!

As teacher sellers, we are constantly juggling all the things. Many of us are working hard to balance being in the classroom, growing our business, and being the best parent and/or spouse that we can be, all while taking care of ourselves physically and mentally.  It can be really helpful to hear from full-time TpT sellers to get an idea of how they manage their time.

Sara is also going to dive a bit deeper into your options for a private podcast and how that differs from a traditional podcast. 

In today's first ever SOS book talk, I'm diving into my review and takeaways from Greg McKeown's book Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less. Greg writes largely about how we spend most of our time on many little things whereas we should *actually* be spending our time on several big things. Listen in to get tips as they pertain to TpT, time management, and finding the things that you should actually spend your time on.

When we know someone else is paying attention to what we are doing, it creates a magical force of productivity. THAT is the magic of accountability: being held responsible for what we say we will do. If you know you need accountability but are not sure how or where to find it, this episode is for you.

Challenges abound in the TpT world, and customer ratings are no exception. That notification pops up and your worst fears are confirmed: a bad review. Now what? I'm walking you through a healthy mindset shift, ways to respond, and how to leverage the good feedback.
