How to Sell AI-Generated Pet Horoscopes (and Why It Works): The $0 Cost Side Hustle BlueprintAI side gigs don't need serious topics—they need serious customers. Discover why pet horoscopes are crushing it as a $0 cost AI entrepreneur play, and how niche topics with passionate audiences generate recurring revenue faster than overcrowded markets. We break down the psychology of selling to pet lovers, the AI tools that automate personalization, and a repeatable framework you can launch this week.https://DarkHorseEntrepreneur.comSponsor - https://YourSuccessDNA.comTracy explains how people are paying around $25–$47 for custom astrological birth chart-style readings for pets and outlines a ChatGPT prompt-engineering and distribution blueprint to create hyper-specific pet horoscopes as PDFs and sell them in pet communities. He shares a story of a 47-year-old dog groomer in Portland who accidentally went viral after posting a generated reading and then made five figures in three weeks. The script emphasizes that customers buy meaning and narrative, not accuracy, and argues AI has removed the expertise barrier. It details how to validate demand by posting 50 free readings, then monetize via tiers, compatibility readings, yearly charts, and affiliates, using platforms like Gumroad or Etsy, while staying in an entertainment lane without health claims and recognizing the moral tradeoffs and shrinking market window. 00:00 Pet Horoscope Hook00:52 Market Opportunity Explained01:34 Groomer Success Story02:17 Why Astrology Sells03:47 Offer and Pricing Blueprint04:30 Community Distribution Strategy05:37 Validate With Free Readings06:49 Upsells and Pricing Tiers07:27 Legal and Moral Boundaries08:22 Affiliates and Platforms10:21 Window Closing Warning11:12 Beachhead to Real Business14:25 Meaning Over Accuracy Lesson15:00 Whiskered Wisdom pet astrology, ai business, astrological birth charts, side hustle, micro business, make money with ChatGPT, make money with ai, pet horoscopes, Gumroad, Etsy, affiliate marketing, AI side hustle, prompt engineering, ai side gig, make money online, niche topics, digital products for beginners, ai entrepreneur, ai side hustle, microbusiness, ai automation business, online side hustles, business motivation, work from home, business mindset, entrepreneur motivation, entrepreneurship, ai content creation, side hustle ideas, entrepreneur mindset, business tips, how to make money online, make money from home, ai automation agency, AI, AI Tools, ai entrepreneur, make money online, side hustle ideas, make money from home, online side hustles, AI start up ideas, entrepreneur, ai business https://DarkHorseEntrepreneur.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Send us Fan Mail5-Minute Parenting welcomes special guest, Kristin Faith Evans, sharing on the topic of self-care for parents. What a relevant topic in our fast-paced, hyper-connected world! Kristin Faith Evans is an award-winning author, national speaker, licensed master social worker, and a special needs mom. She is passionate about empowering parents with the skills to thrive in their faith, mental health, and marriage. Kristin has been featured on over thirty-five radio and podcast shows and published in magazines such as Focus on the Family and the American Association of Christian Counselors. She is experienced in couples, child and family, substance abuse, and crisis interventions, as well as church and retreat ministries. And she enjoys a cup (or two) of Italian roast coffee, dark chocolate, traveling, and authentic conversations with friends. Listen in as Kristin covers the following topics: Why self-care is important for parents and tips for helping ease stress levels.Over half of parents are overwhelmed on a daily basis because our coping skills haven't kept up with society's demands. Our stress levels as parents directly impacts our children's spiritual, physical, and mental health.Simple mindfulness skills combined with faith practices can dramatically reduce the harmful effects of stress.We can hack our nervous systems to calm our minds and bodies in just minutes a day with deep breathing, breath prayer, and muscle tensing and relaxing.Self-compassion, gratitude, reliance on God, and acceptance lead to lower stress.Returning our focus to the present moment and awareness of God's presence throughout the day calms our stress and soothes our anxiety.Be sure to check out Kristin's books, YouTube channel, and other resources for families by visiting her website:https://kristinfaithevans.com/*Are you looking for fun, gospel-inspired merch for your family + discounted picture books for your kids and grandkids?

The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders has a formal diagnosis for caffeine withdrawal.It does not have one for postpartum psychosis.That's where this episode starts, and it turns out to explain almost everything about the six weeks that followed. As I record this, the jury in Plymouth has told the judge for the second time in two days that it cannot agree on whether Lindsay Clancy was criminally responsible. Five weeks of trial. More than eighty witnesses. The judge has now read them the Tuey-Rodriguez charge, the last instruction he has, and under Massachusetts law he can't read it again without their consent. Twelve people who saw every exhibit can't get there. The internet got there in nine minutes. This episode is not about whether she's guilty. It's about the machine that spent August turning three dead children into content, and it hits everybody.The women who made this their entire personality: the pink shirts, the "Same, Lindsay" trend, a hundred and sixty-four thousand TikToks, twenty-five Etsy designs, a crowd cheering a defense attorney like he'd walked out of Selma, and a fifty-six-year-old woman arrested in a courthouse parking lot. And the men who decided the correct response to a psychiatric emergency was a constitutional amendment. A retired UFC champion who was calling to repeal the 19th two years before he'd ever heard her name. A podcaster on episode 1,825. A commentator who looked at a stranger holding her own baby and asked where CPS was. Also in here: Why parasocial defendant worship is a format and not a female pathology, and what ten thousand people mailing $290,000 to Luigi Mangione proves about that. The Andrea Yates conviction that got overturned because an expert witness testified about a Law & Order episode that had never been filmed. All 269 episodes were searched. It did not exist. Twenty-five years later, a major podcaster covering this case said out loud that he didn't need his story verified.The nine murder-suicides a week that nobody is holding a rally about, and why there is no federal database counting them. Three fathers who raised the exact defense Clancy is raising. Nobody proposed taking anyone's vote away. And the number that ends the argument: the UK has around 21 psychiatric units where a woman in this emergency is admitted with her baby. France has 15. The United States has four million births a year and zero. Six weeks of the loudest people in America screaming about dead children, and not one of them proposed a bed or a solution. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/we-saw-the-devil-unfiltered-political-analysis--4433638/support.Website: http://www.wesawthedevil.comPatreon: http://www.patreon.com/wesawthedevilRobin's Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/robin_wstdTwitter: http://www.twitter.com/WeSawtheDevilInstagram: http://www.instagram.com/wesawthedevilpodcast.TikTok: tiktok.com/@wesawthedevilpolitics

Pinterest is often talked about like a platform you have to constantly feed — but what happens when you stop? In this episode, I talk with a former TpT seller turned travel creator who hasn't touched Pinterest for her shop in ages... and it's still sending her sales.We dig into why Pinterest content keeps working long after you walk away, what she built early on that's still paying off, and what this means for anyone building a TpT, Etsy, or digital product business who's worried about keeping up with Pinterest forever.If you've ever wondered whether Pinterest effort actually compounds — this is the proof.—-------Here are some helpful links from the podcast:

Your strong-willed child is not “too much,” but the daily arguments can absolutely wear you down. If you've ever wished for headphones to stay calm, duct tape to stop the backtalk, or a remote to fast-forward the meltdown, you're going to feel seen here. I'm Flora McCormick, licensed therapist and parenting coach, and I'm sharing three practical tools that help us keep boundaries without wrecking the relationship.  We start with the “headphones of Zen,” which is really a mindset shift: the iceberg of behavior. When we look beneath the surface, we often find a kid who needs autonomy and control and who downshifts into dysregulation fast. That reframes “defiance” into a nervous system problem we can respond to with curiosity, empathy, and better emotional regulation, while still holding the line.  Then we get real about the “duct tape” tool: it goes on us. It takes two people to argue, and we are the ones with the fully developed prefrontal cortex. I'll walk you through how talking 90% less can lead to a 90% better outcome, plus how to use “name it to tame it” so your child feels understood without you getting pulled into defending, explaining, or debating.  Finally, we use the “magic remote” approach for the most escalated moments: keep the boundary, stop the power struggle, and offer either a silent hug or space to calm down. If you want fewer blowups, fewer regrets, and more connection with your strong-willed kid, press play.

Is the traditional content marketing playbook finally dead? In this episode of the Simple and Smart SEO Show, host Crystal Waddell sits down with tech and enterprise SEO strategist Will Soprano to unpack what modern search optimization actually looks like in the age of AI, multi-surface discovery, and decentralized channels. Will explains why he views SEO not as optimizing for an algorithm, but as building systems to help customers find your business and increase revenue. From managing SEO at an enterprise scale across dozens of properties to leveraging real editorial and human relationships over AI content farms, Will breaks down the tactical mindset shift every marketer and business owner needs to survive. Key Takeaways:The Shift from Search Engines to Customer Intent: Why treating SEO as direct revenue and customer communication beats traditional rank-chasing. The Death of the Old Playbook: Why scaling generic AI content fails and how search discovery is shifting to a "Google AND..." multi-platform ecosystem (ChatGPT, Reddit, Wikipedia). The Three Modern SEO Buckets: A breakdown of product-led SEO, progressive revelation, and high-impact editorial SEO. Utility as Content: How programmatic tools (like interactive calculators) drive real user value and organic traffic. Relationships as Your #1 SEO Strategy: Why genuine collaboration and publisher partnerships outshine paid placements and spammy link building. The Multi-Surface SEO Mindset: Why SEOs need to bridge the silos between web, app, email, and social journeys to avoid leaking revenue. Connect with Will:LinkedinWebsiteText me your questions or comments!Hey, Shopify store owners!

Making money on Etsy isn't hard once you realize this...In today's episode, we're talking about the brutal truth for new Etsy sellers to face in 2026 in order to optimize their Etsy business for more sales.Feeling stuck with your Etsy shop? Inside our Ultimate Etsy course and coaching program, we believe there's no one size fits all strategy. Every shop is different. That's why the first step is to book a call with our team so we can understand your goals, identify what's holding your shop back, and help you create a clear path to growth.

Some Etsy fixes work just enough to keep you stuck. You turn on ads and get a couple of sales. You run a discount and move a few products. You post on social and someone buys.So of course your brain goes, “See? That worked.” But did it actually grow your shop?In this episode, I'm giving you one simple test you can use to tell the difference between a small fix and a real fix. Because a small fix gives you a temporary bump while you are actively feeding it time or money. A real fix changes your baseline. It keeps working after you stop pushing.And that difference matters a LOT if you are trying to build an Etsy shop that gives you steady sales without requiring you to constantly pay, post, discount, or hustle for the next order.We're also talking about why ranked listings behave more like assets than temporary marketing tactics, why your keyword strategy might still not be producing enough traffic, and what to look at before you spend another six months fixing the wrong problem.What You'll LearnThe one-question test that separates temporary fixes from real growthWhy Etsy ads, sales, and social media can feel more effective than they actually areHow to tell whether a strategy is raising your baseline or just creating a temporary spikeWhy keyword strategy is the lever that can keep working after you stop actively pushingWhat ranked listings build over time that paid traffic cannotWhy your keywords can still be “working” without adding up to your revenue goalHow to stop spending time and money on fixes that never become assetsMentioned in This EpisodeWatch: Why Your Keywords Aren't Adding Up to Your Revenue Goal: https://www.youtube.com/@SarahJWaggonerFree class: Create $5K Months on Etsy With Part-Time Hours: https://sarahjwaggoner.com/freeclassYour Next Steps:Work with Me: https://sarahjwaggoner.com/etsy-visibility-acceleratorJoin my Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/theheartlandcreativeFollow me on Threads: https://www.threads.com/@sarahjwaggonerFollow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sarahjwaggoner

Three days. Seventeen hours. Twelve jurors, five possible verdicts, and a door nobody can see behind.Day three of deliberations in the Lindsay Clancy trial ended Monday afternoon with no verdict and instructions to come back Tuesday. Robin breaks down where the case actually stands...the criminal responsibility standard, what "not guilty" would really mean here, and why the jury's request for the pill bottles and the knife tells you they're doing the work.Then the sidewalk: the pink shirts, the twenty-five-plus Etsy designs, the defense attorney fan merchandise, the free coffee at a verdict watch, and the fact that somebody bought the Duxbury house.Plus a viral post arguing that a not-guilty verdict from a nine-woman jury is grounds for repealing the Nineteenth Amendment, and the math problem that argument doesn't survive.And in Philadelphia in the House of Horrors case...fifty hard drives, five urns, four missing women, no bodies, and what investigators say they found on one of those drives this week, which is something Western media very much claims doesn't exist as a theory. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/we-saw-the-devil-unfiltered-political-analysis--4433638/support.Website: http://www.wesawthedevil.comPatreon: http://www.patreon.com/wesawthedevilRobin's Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/robin_wstdTwitter: http://www.twitter.com/WeSawtheDevilInstagram: http://www.instagram.com/wesawthedevilpodcast.TikTok: tiktok.com/@wesawthedevilpolitics

Never enough! This week, V and Emily travel back to TWIFH's oldest historical event thus far: opera singer Jenny Lind's landmark 1850 tour in the United States and its accompanying “Lindmania.” Did you know that the fangirls of 1850 were Just Like Us? They sobbed, they squeed, they schemed to meet their faves, and they spent way, WAY too much on concert tickets. The quotes from antebellum Lind fans reacting to hearing secular music for the first time give us the chills. Come wait outside the stage doors with us for a glimpse at the Swedish Nightingale.SourcesListening & Longing: Music Lovers in the Age of Barnum by Daniel Cavicchi"Fandom Before 'Fan'" by Daniel CavicchiWikipediaMassachusetts Historical SocietyPromoSuper Sorry - Have you ever watched a Marvel movie and thought, "Wow, somebody really owes somebody an apology?"

From AI to tariffs, Etsy is changing a lot in 2026...In today's episode, we're talking about the brutal truth for new Etsy sellers to face in 2026 in order to optimize their Etsy business for more sales.Feeling stuck with your Etsy shop? Inside our Ultimate Etsy course and coaching program, we believe there's no one size fits all strategy. Every shop is different. That's why the first step is to book a call with our team so we can understand your goals, identify what's holding your shop back, and help you create a clear path to growth.

If your Etsy shop is already getting sales, the next question is: where should your next wave of traffic come from? In this episode, I break down how successful Etsy sellers can start diversifying beyond Etsy without abandoning what's already working. We'll talk about using your Etsy shop as your testing ground, figuring out who your real customer is, and then finding more of those people elsewhere. I also dig into two of the biggest opportunities for established Etsy sellers: building your own website and driving traffic with Meta ads, and expanding your best-selling products onto Amazon. We'll cover: When it actually makes sense to diversify your traffic Why trying to be everywhere on social media usually fails How Etsy can become the top of your funnel instead of your entire business What your average order value should look like before running ads Why products that already sell on Etsy may have an advantage on Amazon How to test Amazon without sending thousands of products into FBA Why personalized products may have a particularly interesting opportunity on Amazon The goal isn't to leave Etsy. It's to take what Etsy has already taught you about your products and customers and use that information to build your next source of growth. If your Etsy shop is working and you're wondering what comes next, this one is for you.   Join Skool : https://www.skool.com/grow-my-etsy-shop-3051

Kiera gives three tactical shifts to help practice owners get their time, energy, and life back, while still maintaining a successful business. Episode resources: Subscribe to The Dental A-Team podcast Schedule a Practice Assessment Leave us a review Transcript: Kiera Dent- Dental A Team (00:00) Hello, Dental A Team listeners. This is Kiera. And today I want to talk about a fun topic that I think a lot of you deal with.   and that's burnout. And I know we've talked about it before, I know we've talked about it in the past, and I know it's not a fun topic, but I think it's a fun one to help people not have.   I think burnout, I was listening to I have a podcast that I really enjoy. It's   Life Wisdom   by Words of Taoism. And I just love different mindsets, different perspectives, and   I think this ties really heavily into today's topic. And he was talking about how, like, so many of us are per burnout, and it's this feeling of like, I'm just spent, I'm just exhausted, like I can't do one other thing. And they were talking about how oftentimes it's not just about the work that we're doing. A lot of times it's not actually the work, it's the mental load that we're carrying or the things that we're carrying behind. And it's that is what I want to talk about today is.   like the burnout and how we can get our life back without sacrificing all of it and what this looks like and work life balance and the cliche around it. But when I started thinking of like all the pieces that we do carry the stress of a team, the workload of actually doing it, stress of our families, conversations, replaying conversations in our mind, wondering if we did things correctly, like did I check the books? Did I talk to this team member correctly? D what do I need to do? There's so much weight.   thinking about how oftentimes like we build these businesses, not to be prisoners of them, but to actually have freedom from them. And I think sometimes it feels cliche and it feels like we're getting the exact opposite of that. And so I wanted to talk about like why we get the burnout similar to that. Like we're caring so much. It's not the workload. I don't think most of us, I think a lot of us are fine. I think it's the how much we're caring, it's the subconscious caring that doesn't ever leave us alone. And so what causes that shift in an   Hopefully just some like three tactical shifts that help you get your time, your energy, and your life back. And burnout is a lot of times a conversation we have with a lot of doctors. And I think having a coach, having a guide, having someone in your corner can help prevent that burnout sooner and quicker because we're gonna be listening to it, watching it. And I think having a safe space where you can say, like, I'm exhausted, I'm tired, like I don't physically think I can do that anymore. And then somebody questioning and saying, All right, like there's other, there's a thousand other paths to do it. Let's look and let's find that solution where you don't have to do it.   But we're able to have other people there with you. and I just I think that burnout, I think stress, I think carrying it, it's at every size of practice. So please don't think like, well, people don't deal with this. No, they do. No, like there's highs and lows, everybody has it, that we've got days we've got more of it, we've got days that we have less of it. and I don't think it's like needing more motivation. I think it's like w what what do I actually do? And so kind of just going through that Dental A Team, we work with hundreds of offices across the nation.   Like we've seen it across the board. I've dealt with it. I'm a business owner. I'm a multi-million dollar owner. I've built practices, I've run dental practices, I've started my own business. I've gone from scratch up. I've sold. I mergers and acquisitions, selling to DSOs, you name it. I've been there, I've done that, I've done it a lot. I've done it in my own personal life. I've built multiple multiple businesses in my own. I've built my own personal brand. The things like let's talk, let's talk as business owners, let's talk about these different things. And so I think one of the biggest things that can help prevent this burnout is to stop being the solution to every problem.   I think that we carry this weight constantly of feeling like, especially founders who have built up from the ground up, feel like they've got to be the solution. You were. That's who you were. You had a GSD to get there. But that doesn't mean that's who you need to continue to be. And I'm I'm guilty of this. I watch Slack and I watch myself. And how often do I just jump in and solve a problem? Or I'm sitting in meetings and I know the answer, but just because I know the answer doesn't mean I need to raise my hand and answer. I need to have a team that can create solutions. I need to have a team that genuinely can do it.   Because I genuinely believe one of the fastest paths is being the answer for everything. team members are like, how to know if this is the case is you got team members who are constantly coming to you. Every decision requires your approval and you are solving problems all day long, even minimal problems. And I know I'm guilty of this in my own company. I watch it and I'm like, why are they asking me for that? Like, how do I give them the permission to not need that? And I need to just let them be dependent. And   Let them be independent and not dependent on me. I think when I see teams very dependent on an owner, including myself, I think people being exhausted. I think the practice that can't function without you, can they handle these decisions without you? But also there you think there's a flip side of can you handle them making mistakes? Can you handle letting go of the control? Can you handle if things break? I remember me and a dear colleague, we were having a very spicy conversation and I was like, what?   You want me like sign off on these things and let our reputation get destroyed? I was very sassy that day. This was just like six months ago. You guys, this was not like young Kiera. This was real life Kiera. And she's like, no, Kiera, we're not like just gonna let our reputation fall apart. She said, but you do need to have things like she sent me a decision matrix and she said, You've got to make decisions like which ones really are going to destroy our business, and which ones do you need to realize are not going to destroy and you need to stop being involved in those.   And to have somebody who's willing to push back on me like that, I was so appreciative of because she's like, Kiera, you're sitting here making decisions about cards and branding. That isn't like we're not gonna destroy it. And she's like, I understand in the past that might not have been the case, but guess what? If something goes wrong, your team's gonna fix it. But you have to let them, you have to trust them. Otherwise, you're forever gonna be held in bottleneck, choke hold burnout. And I think when I hear that, I think about the monkey who.   puts their hand in the hole and they hold on to the nut and they can't get their hand out and they end up getting trapped. And I think about how many business owners with burnout have their hand holding on so tightly to control and wanting everything perfect that they don't let go of it that they end up suffocating themselves and burning out when it didn't necessarily need to be that way. So when I look at like doctors and how much are you answering and office managers, how much are you answering   versus how much is your team able to do? This doctor I was in, we were looking at like etching glass and the team found some cool things on Etsy and the doctor's like, yep, sign off stamp. You guys do it. I know you're gonna do a great job. And it's not something where they're gonna check over their shoulder. No, if it doesn't look good, of course they're gonna say something, but that's such a small decision with such small ramifications versus they're building out the entire construction of the business on the other side. Two very different pieces. Like what is the ramification long term? And so   When you're looking at it, I would say   But number one, when questions come to you, start to ask your team what solutions do you think are we can do for this? And then trust them and let them run with it. Second, for yourself, in meetings, stop being the answer to everything. And then third, just look to see like what's one, two, three, four items that you don't need to give an answer to. Just sit and watch and observe. And I think for me, I almost like have the visual putting my hands, like sitting on my hands and pretend or pretend my hands have glue on them and they're stuck together.   If I couldn't do anything, would my team be able to handle this without me? And I think it's a good test to see how much they're actually able to do. Anytime I go on vacation, I completely check out and I come back and I'm shocked at how good they can do. And I think reminding myself that my team wants to make me proud, that they can answer these things, that I don't need to answer it for them, trusting them they're gonna have better ideas than me. And again, them doing 80% of the work is better than me doing 100% of it. And so I think a great way for you to look at like,   Start asking your team to bring solutions. You can even roll it out that guys, I'm not, I'm not great at this. So please, like everybody, this is my ask. This is my goal for the next six months. Put a bracelet on, whatever you got to do to remind yourself. Like, I literally have a bracelet this year that says no. And that's to remind me, like, no, like, don't do that. Don't say yes to this. Like, let your team flourish. Let go of that control, trust. Because honestly, as a team member, that's the greatest thing your your boss can ever do for you, is to give you the trust and the confidence into.   Let you flourish. That's where people love to work. No one loves to work when they're being micromanaged. And I know I'm guilty of this. So my team listening, I'm sorry. And just know that I'm hyper aware of it, actively participating in letting go of that. And genuinely, I know my team will do far better than I ever. Like they want to make me proud. Our team is such a great team. And your team's the same way. So let them stop stopping the solution to every problem. The second thing to help prevent this burnout that's tactical is.   have boundaries around your time. And this is something I learned early on. I used to work sun up to sundown, seven days a week, on holidays, on weekends. And I think we protect our production time. Like you better believe I ask you for a meeting. Do you how many offices come in? They to coach and they want to solve their problems. But like, but don't do my calls during during production time. I'll talk to you on my drive home. And I'm like, hard pass? No. You're blocking out two hours a month during production time because I know you're gonna be way more proactive. And I'm probably gonna do like   In the morning. You are not running through our meetings and you better be on time to every single meeting. Otherwise, don't sign up for coaching. Like hard and fast. If you can't give me two hours to work on the business, you are not prepared to do coaching because you're not going to implement anything. I'm not talking to you on your drive home. Like, sorry, that's just not where it's going to be. You product your production time, but you don't product your personal time. And both are equally important in my opinion. So, like, are you working through lunch all the time? Are you answering messages at night? Are you h working every single weekend? Do you have this constant mental load that never shuts off on you?   And what I found is you gotta block CEO time where you work on the business during your week. Every time I'm getting stressed out, Marissa and I and Shelbi, we look at the schedule and it's like, Kiera had no time to work on the business. This is why she's stressed out. It's a non-negotiable for me. That is the rock. That is the number one thing that goes in the schedule. Non-negotiable. Then after that, like I have family time. I have a date night. And our team, we made it all like a very conscious effort that like after five, we don't do work. I'm not gonna say it's perfect and I'm not gonna say you have to have that because sometimes working.   Like sometimes I get up at three in the morning and I'm freaking lit and I'm jazzing. It's not depleting for me. That's not burnout. That's working and it's passionate. So it's not a like hard and fast, no one can work. Because sometimes we do want to, but there's there's a conscious shutoff. And so I look at it, I try hard not to send slacks after five o'clock at night. I can schedule those for the next morning. Like shut my email off, take it off of my phone. Don't have Slack and emails on your phone. And really truly be intentional. So   I actually have a box. This came from a friend. she has a really cool box, and that box no longer is being made, otherwise, I'd share it with you. So I bought a like nice $5 box from Target. It's a white box, it's pretty, it sits on my counter, and that's my phone box. So when I'm done with work, so at five o'clock and I have something where I've got to go, like go for a walk with my husband, have something that I'm looking forward to, have a set end time. my phone my watch comes off and my phone goes off and it goes in the box and I leave and I completely disconnect. Now, for a lot of us, I can feel like a heart palpitation.   There's also, I think it's called the brick where you can brick your phone where it turns back into like a brick phone, where honestly there's like calling and messaging, and that's all you have. There's no other apps or anything like that, and you can set it up. for me, I just stick it in the box. And what's really awesome is to be able to disconnect. On the weekends, phone's completely off. Like I'm a princess wife and my husband has his phone and he loves it. And I leave my phone. I leave it plugged in. I don't take it with me.   Because I need a complete disconnect. When I go on vacations, it's a hundred percent offline. I love to go out of the country for that reason because I'm out o offline and I know it's gonna charge me more to to talk to people. Now I know some of you have kiddos and whatnot, but the more you can have blocked family time, blocked CEO time, blocked personal recharge time, and you protect all three of those equally, you will actually feel like like even that, like I feel like this breath of fresh air.   It's and again, it's not about being perfect, it's about being consistent. So you might miss in one week you're gonna have a lot more. But our consultants, they're working for such long hours and we set a quarterly rock that all of us would get out at five o'clock. And every week we actually start asking, like, how is it? And it's shocking. We have seven consultants, and I've been watching all of them start to trend more and more and more to personal life. I've also watched happiness levels increase across our consultant team. I've watched burnout become less and less, and they're still able to take care of their clients, they're still able to work with their   Teams, they're still able to get their things done. We just consolidate. We also started having it where like every Monday people list off how many hours they have available for the week. Like, hey, how many hours do you have? Looking at the schedule, who's got time? And then we're using each other within the department to help each other out. So that way people aren't getting burnt out. We've got people who have hours of time. They're not as busy. You might have an assistant or a hygienist who's not as busy. What do people have on their workload? Can we share the workload with each other? Can we pass out the recare list, the reactivation list? Like, how can we do this to where we all get out at five? We're all committed to it.   Let's all work together as a team. Let's all get our pieces done so that way we're all together. But I think for you, don't answer messages at night. If you knew I'd pay you a million dollars for the next month, okay? Million dollars is on the line. For the next month, you didn't do any work after five. I'll give you till 5.15 because your patients might go. 515 and on the weekends you're not touching work. Would you do it for a month? A million dollars is on the line. And I know every one of you would say yes to me. So if you're gonna say yes to that,   Your life is worth more than a million dollars. Your health is worth more than a million dollars. So you do have a million dollars on the line for you. I'm not paying you. You're paying yourself this. So create those boundaries and dedicate this time. For me, I do have on the weekends. I've got one hour, two hours. I'm gonna block my week on Sundays. Like I do that. That's part of it. I'm okay with that. That's something that I don't take away from my family. Jason knows it. We're good. I've got it. But it allows me to decompress and I'm able to be there present with him. I literally.   Control my calendar. So my calendar doesn't control me. I am actively creating my life and man, I'm not managing my circumstances. I'm creating my life. So for you, I used to think like working harder was better. No, there's a place to work hard and there's a place to play hard and there's a place to sleep hard and there's a place to rest hard. All of those are important. So block your CEO time and guard that. Block your family time and guard that. Block your personal recharge time and block and like honor all three of those equally.   You're doing it with your production, so I know you're capable of doing it. Shut off, be done at five. Go give yourself that freedom. And like even me saying that, I feel this weight come off my shoulders. So I would say schedule those three non-negotiable blocks of time every single week. Treat it like production time, non-negotiable. You will be shocked at the life you will get back and the burnout will go away very quickly. Now, you might be like me, there was one summer I was completely burnt out. I sent I slept 17 hours a day for almost an entire month.   Sometimes we're so far into the burnout phase that we have to give some massive recharge. And like just taking this isn't going to be enough. You might have to schedule in a week off or you just sleep nonstop. But once we get to that point, and I'd say don't wait to that point. Like let's start doing some things proactively now. it is capable, it is doable. And these are some tactical things that I would say put it in now. Let's put some guardrails in and let's protect that very, very, very strongly. And then number three is build a practice that supports your life.   So and we always say that your business should serve your life, not the other way around. And so like I think you should just ask yourself and like it's okay, pull out the crayons, like let's get the canvas back out. What do you want your life to look like? And we do this with our doctors when they start with us, like how many days do you want to work? What kind of a schedule do you want? What role do you want long term, like in one year, three year, 10 year? And then let's put into place and start making your practice work for you. So if you tell me I only want three days, fantastic, let's work for it.   What is our bam? What's our production? Let's build this just a math equation. And I love because math always maths. So let's just build it. What does it need to look like? And what I've watched is when people are living their dream life when they're having it. Now, ego plays. For me, I keep saying, like, I only want to work three days. But my ego is so strong and she really wants to be just important. So I need something to fill that time that's equally as important. I have Jace and I now have a side gig that we do on Fridays together. And it makes it to where like I have a set thing that   full like fuels me, fuels my spouse. and we do it on Fridays together. And so I do. I've got I've got other CEO responsibilities that are not Dental A Team specific. But even if I didn't have something else, that's okay as a CEO. You're allowed to to have your business, serve your life. You do not need to work constantly. You are allowed to have whatever life you want. And so let's let's put those systems into place. Let's have leaders in place that are freaking thriving on it and they want to do this. Let's like make our decisions based on vision, not on guilt.   Like that's what we're gonna do. And so you can reduce your clinical days. We can hire people for that. me and a doctor were working and we just created this like awesome two year vision. I'm so pumped. I was like, okay, in two years, like let's build this. Like, what's your tenure? And I was like, sweet, let's build it into a two year. To be able to help people see it. Sometimes we can't see that. Sometimes we don't think we're worthy of it. Sometimes we I don't know. I think we just get in a rut and robotic and then we just forget that, like, no, no, no, we're the creators of our lives, not the managers of them. You get to create this.   You didn't build yourself a prison. You build yourself freedom. But it depends on which route you're gonna go and if you're actually gonna live it. So you've got to have your practice supporting your life, not the other way around. So I want you to look down, like what your, you can write down what your ideal work looks like, what it's gonna look like in one year, three years, ten years, and then like let's just work backwards. Some of you get so stuck and you're like, I don't know, how do I get my team bought into it? Your team wants you to thrive.   Your ego wants you to just survive. Like it's usually ego that keeps us there. It's not really our team. It's not all those excuses we tell ourselves. It's not that mental load that we're carrying constantly. That mental load is heavy. It's a constant guilt running and guilt's not serving. It's just keeping you stuck. So if you've been feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, trapped, or even none of those, like I just want you to know you're not alone. Let's put into place these safeguards. Let's let's have this where number one, we're going to stop being the solution to every problem. Number two,   We're gonna create those boundaries around our personal time and we're gonna block them like we do our production time. We're gonna honor them, we're gonna value them. It's our CEO time, our family time, and our personal recharge time. Block those. And then we're gonna build a practice that truly supports our life. And we're gonna be so committed and know that we deserve every ounce of this. And we're we are so committed that we're gonna get it. Non-negotiable. Pretend a million dollars, billion dollars, whatever you want, your dream car, your dream vacation, whatever it is, it's on the line. If you'll just show up for yourself. I think so often burnout comes because we're not willing to.   Reduce the load. I think a lot of it is self-induced, and then I think a lot of it is just habit. We've been doing it for so long that we don't know a different path. But I will say that other path is always there. The HOV lane is always open. Let's get over into that HOV lane. Let's start doing things easier. You deserve it. You are a billion dollar asset. Treat yourself like it. You guys have this. You don't have to work harder. You just need to have it be a like we've had one formula and it's been running. There's nothing wrong with it. But if we want a different life, there's another formula that we can start running, and I'd encourage you to do so.   So that's what we do. We help you build leadership teams. We help you build your vision. We help get your team bought into that vision. We could give you the permission to shut off at five. We tell you, like, stop, grab a PA, like a personal assistant, hire this person. Like these things you don't have to do. You're welcome to keep doing it. There's no force on our side. There's no judgment on our side. There's just love and unconditional love to make sure you are taken care of. So reach out. I'd love to help you. You can grow your business and you don't have to sacrifice your life. It's not one or the other. It can be an and. And I hope you choose that. And I hope you know you're worthy of it. I hope you know you're worth it.   And I hope you know that it is possible. So come be a part of it. There's so many of our doctors that live their best lives. I got one doctor who's a million-dollar practice working three days a week, wants nothing more than that, and is so freaking happy and is an incredible leader. I have another doctor. They work four days a week. They got a three and a half million dollar practice. Incredible, incredible. They could build another location. They don't want to. We got it set up for their kids, their life. They're on vacation. They're able to serve and get back to their community. Whatever your life is, it's doable for you. I've got others that have like five locations and they're so happy with it.   Whatever your life is, it's doable. So let's make it, let's create it, let's not manage it. You guys, I'm proud of you. I'm proud of the life you're living. Reach out, Hello@TheDentalATeam.com. And as always, thanks for listening. I'll catch you next time on the Dental A Team podcast.  

Preston was one of my very first Etsy students back in 2021—and has since grown his laser engraving shop enough to replace the income from FOUR jobs! This spring, he and his wife challenged themselves to add 1,000 digital laser files to their already successful handmade shop, and the result was an additional $2K/month in passive income. Tune in to hear how they did it and why adding a digital component to your existing Etsy business could be an incredible way to scale without creating more physical work.  **"How to Sell Your Stuff on Etsy" is not affiliated with or endorsed by Etsy.com    STUFF I MENTIONED:  Join us in Scaling Society: https://www.howtosellyourstuff.com/scaling-society Use code 50SCALE to get your first month for $97.    FIND PRESTON: Website - http://277creative.com/ Instagram - @277creative   PRESTON'S PREVIOUS EPISODES: Ep 156: What happens if you don't give up on Etsy?  https://www.howtosellyourstuff.com/blog/156  Ep 164: Lizzie's in the Etsy Coach Hot Seat https://www.howtosellyourstuff.com/blog/164  Ep 183: Free, Underrated Local Resources That Can Help You Grow Your Business https://www.howtosellyourstuff.com/blog/183  Ep 198: From Hobby Shop to Full Time Handmade Etsy Seller https://www.howtosellyourstuff.com/blog/198   Ep 216: What We Wish We Knew About Etsy—Before We Ever Opened Our Shops https://www.howtosellyourstuff.com/blog/216  Ep 219: How to Think Like A Full Time Etsy Seller  How to Think Like A Full Time Etsy Seller – with Preston Cox    HOW I HELP ETSY SELLERS GROW: ⭐Scaling Society: https://www.howtosellyourstuff.com/scaling-society ⭐"How to Blow Up Your Etsy Shop" free training: https://www.howtosellyourstuff.com/interested-in-blow-up-shop  ⭐Trendspotting: https://www.howtosellyourstuff.com/trendspotting ----------------------

One of the questions I get asked every single year is... "When should I start listing my Christmas products?" Or Halloween products. Or Thanksgiving products. And the answer surprises almost everybody. Because if you're waiting until October to list your Halloween products... There's a pretty good chance you're already late. Today, I'm going to give you my simple rule for seasonal products, explain why timing matters more than most Etsy sellers realize, and walk you through exactly when I'd have my Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas listings live if I were starting today.

What are the best Etsy niches to sell on Etsy in 2026? Is Etsy still worth it in 2026?In today's episode, I break down my best advice for beginner Etsy sellers who want tips for opening an Etsy shop in 2026. I'm giving you 3 hard truths that you should know about success on Etsy.Feeling stuck with your Etsy shop? Inside our Ultimate Etsy course and coaching program, we believe there's no one size fits all strategy. Every shop is different. That's why the first step is to book a call with our team so we can understand your goals, identify what's holding your shop back, and help you create a clear path to growth.

You know that thing where sales are slow, so you check your stats again. And again. Then maybe you make a Pinterest pin, reorganize your shop sections, redo a perfectly fine product photo, or spend 45 minutes reading what other Etsy sellers are doing.You know none of it is really moving your shop forward. So why is it so freaking hard to stop doing it?That's what we're talking about today.Because there are some very real reasons your brain would rather choose the easy, familiar task with an immediate payoff than the harder work that could take weeks to show results. And when sales are slow, that pull gets even stronger.I know because I did this exact thing when I was building my Etsy shop while working full-time as a physical therapist. I spent hours scheduling Pinterest pins months in advance because it felt productive, while avoiding the harder work I actually needed to learn.In this episode, we're getting into the psychology behind busy work, what it's actually costing your shop, and how to finally break the cycle.Why busy work feels so satisfying when your Etsy sales are slowThe connection between feeling powerless and reaching for easy tasksWhy the work that actually grows your shop can feel harder to startHow busy work can become a hiding place from decisions that feel riskyWhy working hard and making progress aren't necessarily the same thingHow to recognize the busy-work loop while you're in itThree ways to start protecting your limited hours for work that actually compoundsFree class, Create $5K Months on Etsy With Part-Time Hours: https://sarahjwaggoner.com/freeclassWork with Me: https://sarahjwaggoner.com/etsy-visibility-acceleratorJoin my Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/theheartlandcreativeFollow me on Threads: https://www.threads.com/@sarahjwaggonerFollow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sarahjwaggonerFollow me on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@SarahJWaggonerWhat You'll LearnMentioned in This EpisodeYour Next Steps:

It can actually help more people bring beautiful cups to life in their own way.Whether you're a laser owner, tumbler maker, Etsy seller, digital designer, creative entrepreneur, or maker trying to figure out what direction to go next, this episode is packed with laughs, business lessons, and real-world maker experience.FB: The KTD Collection - Lasered By KTDIG: @kthompdesignsTikTok: @LaseredByKTDEtsy: kthomplaserdesigns.etsy.comWebsite: KristenThompsonDesigns.comYouTube: @ShesTheReasonIHaveALaserSupport the showIf you enjoy our content, consider supporting us on Patreon!!
