“Look, the days are coming,” Yahweh declares, “when I will repopulate the land of Israel and Judah with both people and livestock. I have watched over them to uproot, to knock down, to overthrow, destroy, and bring calamity, so now, I will carefully watch over them as they start over again and rebuild. And I will help them grow,” declares Yahweh. “In those days, people will no longer quote the proverb: ‘Children must pay the consequences of their fathers' sins.' “Rather, everyone who eats sour grapes will have a stomachache. Each one will be responsible for their own sins.” - Jeremiah‬ ‭31‬:‭27‬-‭30‬ ‭TPT‬‬

Two shafts go for review this week! The first is TPT's Nitro driver shaft in the 16/Hi configuration. It offers stability and consistency that I haven't seen this year in driver. The advanced tech in the shaft clearly shows in its performance on great shots and mishits. Nippon brought out their latest GOST hybrid shaft, but this time in HL. This higher launching option adds height to your shots while keeping dispersion tight.

“Here's what Yahweh says to you: “I know all about the marvelous destiny I have in store for you, a future planned out in detail. My intention is not to harm you but to surround you with peace and prosperity and to give you a beautiful future, glistening with hope.” ‭‭- Jeremiah‬ ‭29‬:‭11‬ ‭TPT‬‬

There comes a moment when even the most passionate teachers whisper to themselves, “I don't know if I can do this anymore". The exhaustion, the negative interactions, and the weight of it all can feel overwhelming. And while it's easy to dwell on the negative (trust me, I have!), since that noise is often louder and takes up more space in your mind, I want you to do the opposite. In this episode, I share how shifting your mindset and focusing on the positive can help you regain control of your emotions - and why it's so important to surround yourself with amazing people.

Holiday breaks can either recharge you or leave you scrambling—and for TPT sellers, the difference is planning. We dig into a simple framework for turning scattered days off from October through December into less stress now and more sales later, without sacrificing time with family. You'll hear three clear paths—take the time fully off, create a balanced 50-50 split, or run a short, intentional sprint if you have a major goal—and how to choose the one that fits your season and personality.We talk through practical ways to prepare before you unplug: optimize seasonal product listings for search, queue your Cyber Monday and sitewide sale emails, and refresh thumbnails and previews that impact conversion all year. Then we map exactly how to use one or two focused workdays in a break to batch deep work—keyword updates, resource creation, and email sequences—so your evenings stay free once school ramps back up with grading and exams. Instead of trying to squeeze an hour here and there, a concentrated push gives you breathing room and a calmer return in January.You'll also get a step-by-step calendar strategy: block family events first, mark true no-work days, then assign specific goals to the remaining work blocks. That clarity makes it easier to accept last-minute invitations without guilt, because you know what can move and what can't. Most importantly, we call out the pressure-cooker trap of trying to finish a year's worth of goals over the holidays and offer a saner alternative—focus on compound wins like SEO, evergreen products, and list engagement that pay off long after the decorations are packed away.If this approach helps, subscribe, share the episode with a teacher-author friend, and leave a quick review.

You don't need a giant following to build a powerful email list—you need a clear plan, the right tool for your stage, and a freebie your audience actually wants. We walk through a practical, teacher-focused roadmap to get from “mom + 50” to thousands, with real numbers, platform trade-offs, and a system you can set up in a weekend. If you've been stuck wondering whether Flowdesk or ConvertKit fits your workflow and budget, we compare simplicity versus automation, how pricing changes impact growth, and why a generous free tier can help you reach profitability before you ever pay a bill.From there, we design a high-converting opt-in: an exclusive, classroom-ready resource tied to your best product lines, presented on a clean landing page with a single clear action. Then we craft a three-email welcome sequence that delivers the freebie, builds trust with quick implementation tips, and gently introduces related resources without feeling pushy. We also share the ten-cents-per-subscriber-per-month benchmark so you can evaluate ROI and stop second-guessing your tool costs as your list scales.Traffic doesn't have to be chaotic. We lay out steady sources that compound: product insert opt-in pages inside your resources, notes to TPT followers, a supporting blog post with Pinterest pins, and social posts that demonstrate the freebie's value in seconds. When you're ready, add strategic collaborations and freebie swaps to accelerate growth with aligned audiences. The result is a repeatable engine that moves people from discovery to trust to action—and puts you in control of your audience, not the algorithm. If this playbook helps, follow the show, share it with a TPT friend, and leave a quick review telling us your current list size and next milestone.Try Kit for FREE: https://partners.kit.com/ho7wpn6n0fo4-pricingSave 50% off Your First Year of Flodesk: https://flodesk.com/c/KTH5RZCheck Out My YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/laurenfultonMy Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/laurentschappler/My Other YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@LaurenATschFree Rebranded Teacher Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/749538092194115 Support the show

Send me a Text!I'm sharing the story I used to keep to myself—how I hit burnout, gained over 55 pounds, and lost touch with the version of me I truly wanted to be. It wasn't dramatic… it was daily. Skipping meals, snacking during prep, and constantly putting myself last left me physically drained and emotionally discouraged.But the good news? I found my way back—through simple habits, strength training, mindset shifts, and the reminder that you can't give your best to others if you don't take care of yourself first.I'll walk you through the exact changes I made (and still use today), from packing my lunch again to lifting weights every day—and how tracking my wellness became the turning point.If you're feeling tired, frustrated, or stuck, this episode is your reminder: you're not alone, and it's never too late to reset.

The Lord is calling out to the church in this hour. He is asking us to rise up once again in the activities of heaven that matter most. The Lord seeks those who will seek Him. He looks for those who will honor Him with a sacrifice of self in His presence to obtain His presence.This call is: Pray, Church! Pray, Church! Pray, Church!The time has come for the church to begin to pray again. The call and cry that resonate deep in my spirit is a summons from the Holy Spirit to enter into the secret place and come before the King of all Kings. We cannot neglect our prayer and hope to win the battles that are coming against us, and certainly, we will not win the battles that are about to come against us unless we pray.The church must pray. Prayer is how we fight! Prayer is the battle mode of the church that releases the kingdom of God upon our circumstances, problems, and worries. Prayer unleashes the kingdom of God against demonic forces bent on harming our communities, families, and our nation. Prayer is the posture of power in the Kingdom of God.Nothing compares to prayer in its importance and scope. Praying will unlock doors and move mountains. Praying will touch the heart of God and cause His hands to be moved. Prayer releases every force the kingdom of God has against the enemies of the kingdom.So, again I say: “Pray, church!” It is time for the church to pray again, getting into battle mode and fighting stance.Ironically, as we pray, we are not facing off against demons ourselves. Instead, we are coming to worship the King, speak His words over our lives, intercede for the longings of His heart, and pray for the peace He decrees in our lives and on the earth. As we pray for leaders, nations, lost sons and daughters, and the hopelessness we see people walking in, the Spirit of God comes and begins to battle against the enemy's plan. God releases resources, help, provision, strength, and power as we pray. Angelic activity is ignited as the host of heaven hears the words of God being declared in prayer by the saints. These mighty angels go to war on our behalf at the command of the King.All of this is happening behind the scenes as we simply become the connection point from earth to heaven.When we open our hearts and our mouths to pray, it releases the divine purpose and passion of Christ's heart. He is revealed, and He is magnified. Church, the Lord would say to you, “Your prayers matter!” When you pray, it makes a difference for eternity. It's not about you feeling it or even sensing it, although when we do, we are thankful. But prayer is about facing the Lord in faith, boldly worshiping His name, and declaring His beauty and holiness, coming to Him with thanksgiving in our hearts and seeking His face. Prayer is a connection point to the Kingdom of God, and it releases the power of His Kingdom in our hearts and in the earth.Scripture plainly tells us the plan of God for our prayers—“on earth as it is in heaven.”Matthew 6:10 TPT—[10] Manifest your kingdom realm, and cause your every purpose to be fulfilled on earth, just as it is fulfilled in heaven.I would submit to you that the more you pray, the more of His presence will enter your life and transform you and your situation. Even if you do not realize it's happening, it is.And so if you've ever felt dead or dry in your spirit, this is for you. Maybe the Lord has allowed you to reach that place so that you will begin to search for Him, to seek Him, to look for Him, and to allow the Holy Spirit to come in. I believe that He is calling out to the church in this hour to seek His face.He is urging us to pursue Him actively, to follow Him, and to press into Him in greater and deeper ways because a harvest season is here. It's not only coming; it's upon us. It's moving in the earth, and we are meant to take part in that—prophesying into the atmosphere and over our spheres of influence, including our families, cities, and towns—all to see the harvest of the Lord come in and to reach out and work.I believe God is calling out to His remnant people in this hour to begin seeking His face, to open our hearts to His presence, and to allow the extension of His power to touch our hearts deeply, igniting our hunger, desire, and thirst.Friend, we need to pursue and press deeper into the Lord than we have before. If we're going to make bold and courageous stands in our culture, we cannot do that without the presence and Spirit of God. We need a working relationship, not just knowledge of God, but an intimate relationship with His presence, Spirit, and power.We can't be a bold voice for Jesus in our culture, in our city, in our town, in our family, in our nation, or on Earth unless we have the voice of God inside us, speaking to our hearts in His presence, igniting us and pressing us forward. So I'm speaking to you right now—as a friend and as a fellow believer—saying, let's press in like we haven't before, and let's allow the Holy Ghost to ignite our hearts with a new hunger, a new thirst, and a new passion, so that there is a drive and a force from God that pushes us into the things of the Lord and the purpose of God.Prayer is the extension of His touch in your life. As you seek Him, He pours Himself through you.Let me just say this too: God is so faithful.As you begin to search for Him and seek Him out, He will be found by you. He will not hide or keep Himself at a distance from you. He is so faithful to come in and fulfill His work, His word, and His promise in your life. He will do that. One of the things I turn to when it seems like the presence of the Lord has begun to slip in my life, and maybe I can't feel Him as deeply as I once did, is this: if I will just get on my face before God—and I mean truly make a sacrifice to do so—and remain in that place of prayer, I know that if I stay there, God will meet me.Even if I don't feel it, I know He's working.And if He's working, then I have everything I need. Because when God is working, the Bible says He will work in us those things that are well-pleasing in His sight. That's what He's doing right now. So don't be discouraged, friend, but press in.We are to embark on a quest to explore the depths of the Holy Spirit.Not long ago, I received this word from the Lord about the Holy Spirit:“My people are meant to be led by my Spirit and taught by my Spirit. You may follow someone's faith, but mentorship comes through a life-giving relationship with the Holy Spirit. He is the one who will guide you into all truth, for He will take of mine and declare it unto you. He is the voice that you hear directing your steps, saying, “This is the way. Walk in it.” The Holy Spirit is the great director who orchestrates and performs my plan on the earth and in your life. Lean into His voice and cherish His words, for the Holy Spirit delights over you with great joy. He will fill you with my joy as He escorts you into my presence.”It is time for the Church to pray again!This is the call to the remnant who are about to rise into revival!Any great move of the Spirit of God, any significant revival or outpouring of the Lord that has ever happened on the earth can be traced back to men and women on their knees.Corporately:2 Chronicles 7:13-15 NKJV—[13] When I shut up heaven and there is no rain, or command the locusts to devour the land, or send pestilence among My people, [14] if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land. [15] Now My eyes will be open and My ears attentive to prayer made in this place.Personally:Jeremiah 29:11-13 NKJV—[11] For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. [12] Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. [13] And you will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart.How to seek the Lord:Have a secret place with the Lord.Matthew 6:6 TPT—[6] But whenever you pray, go into your innermost chamber and be alone with Father God, praying to Him in secret. And your Father, who sees all you do, will reward you openly.Sacrifice more time in prayer.Luke 6:12 TPT—[12] After this, Jesus went up into the high hills to spend the whole night in prayer to God.1 Thessalonians 5:17 TPT—[17] Make your life a prayer.An example of the need to devote more time to prayer can be drawn from understanding a marriage relationship. The more time you spend with your spouse, the more deeply and intimately you come to know them. You reach a point where you understand how they think and feel. You may even be able to finish their thoughts because you've become closely aware of their perspectives and desires.Sacrificial time in prayer produces a knowledge of Jesus and an awareness of His presence that comes in no other way.Intercede for your cities and towns.Colossians 4:2-4 TPT—[2] Be faithful to pray as intercessors who are fully alert and giving thanks to God. [3] And please pray for me, that God will open a door of opportunity for us to preach the revelation of the mystery of Christ, for whose sake I am imprisoned. [4] Pray that I would unfold and reveal fully this mystery, for that is my delightful assignment.Act as watchmen and prophetically call for awakening, warn the people of God, call out sin, intercede, hear a word from the Lord, and declare it—over your family, your community, your nation, your spouse, your friends, and your children.Isaiah 62:6-7 NKJV—[6] I have set watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem; They shall never hold their peace day or night. You who make mention of the LORD, do not keep silent, [7] And give Him no rest till He establishes And till He makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth.Isaiah 62:6-7 TPT—[6] Jerusalem, I have stationed intercessors on your walls who will never be silent, day or night. You “reminders” of Yahweh, take no rest, [7] and tirelessly give God no rest, until He firmly establishes Jerusalem and makes her the praise of all the earth!Ezekiel 3:17 NKJV—[17] “Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel; therefore hear a word from My mouth, and give them warning from Me:Thanks for reading and listening to the podcast, friend!Please share it on your social media and subscribe for more!Thanks for reading StrongFaith.co!

What if you could turn one solid template into two profitable products—again and again—without burning out or blowing your budget? That's the engine behind our 30-resources-in-under-10-hours sprint, and we're pulling back the curtain on the exact system: build evergreen first, then smartly clone into seasonal versions with minimal, thoughtful changes.We start with the economics that drive better decisions for TPT sellers: seasonal items often sell in a short window and take longer to break even if you outsource. By owning a simple, repeatable format—board games, coloring sheets, pixel art, task cards—you cut production time and risk while keeping standards alignment tight. We show how a zombie-themed board game becomes a Halloween hit, how an operations set morphs into a fall variant, and why a strong evergreen core keeps your catalog useful year-round.Process is where the real gains live. We walk through a one-file workflow that speeds duplication, keeps quality checks easy, and makes delegation to a VA painless. You'll hear how we use checklists to track drafts, exports, covers, and previews so nothing stalls in publishing. We also talk asset strategy: artwork licensing for emojis, choosing flexible graphics and fonts, and building a reusable library so themes can swap fast without redesigning from scratch.AI makes a cameo as a practical springboard. We use ChatGPT to generate extra word problems, sentence prompts, and seasonal contexts, then curate and compute our own answers for accuracy. The result is less ideation fatigue and more momentum. To wrap, we share quick-win product ideas perfect for batching—coloring activities, pixel art grids, short story analysis, escape-style worksheets—and guardrails to avoid the “more is better” trap so quality stays high.If you're ready to scale your TPT shop with less stress and more intention, this system gives you the steps, the safeguards, and the shortcuts. Subscribe for weekly strategies, share this with a fellow teacherpreneur, and leave a review to tell us which template you're cloning next.Watch this Epsiode on Youtube!https://youtu.be/Bkm0WQ-rg7sCheck Out My YouTube Channelhttps://www.youtube.com/c/laurenfultonMy Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/laurentschappler/My Other YouTubehttps://www.youtube.com/@LaurenATschFree Rebranded Teacher Facebook Grouphttps://www.facebook.com/groups/749538092194115 Support the show

When parents question your decisions as a teacher, it can feel like your professionalism is on trial, but it's actually an opportunity. Instead of bracing for conflict, what if you leaned in with clarity, calm, and confidence?  As the excitement of a new school year wears off, new and challenging situations often arise. That's why I created the September Survival Series; to give you practical tips, strategies, and encouragement to remind you that everything will work out. In the first two episodes, I shared how to reset your routines and procedures and how to manage stress during those first hectic weeks. In this final episode, I'm focusing on what to do when parents question you, and how to handle those situations with confidence and professionalism.

Welcome to the My Adventures in ESL podcast—the show dedicated to helping ESL teachers like you feel confident, supported, and inspired in your classroom. I'm so excited you're here! As ESL teachers, we know how much time and energy goes into planning lessons, organizing materials, and meeting our students' diverse needs. But even the best lesson plan can fall flat if students aren't engaged. In this episode, I'm sharing three practical and easy-to-implement strategies that will help you create an engaging classroom where students are excited to participate and eager to learn. Here's what you'll discover in today's episode: Strategy #1: Quick, structured student talk activities – how to get every student speaking and practicing language without overwhelming them. Strategy #2: Student choice – simple ways to give students ownership over their learning, increase motivation, and build confidence. Strategy #3: Movement and interactive games – low-prep, high-energy activities that bring lessons to life and keep students actively involved. These strategies are designed to work for all grade levels and language abilities, and you can start using them immediately in your classroom. By the end of this episode, you'll walk away with practical tools to boost engagement, increase participation, and bring more joy into your teaching.

Stepping away from your TPT business—whether for maternity leave or any planned absence—requires thoughtful preparation and realistic expectations. Drawing from my experience across three pregnancies while running a teacher-entrepreneur business, this episode walks you through the practical steps to ensure your store continues thriving while you focus on what matters most.First, establish your timeline and identify your non-negotiable tasks. For me, six weeks is my sweet spot—that period where I want absolute minimum responsibilities beyond occasionally answering a team question. From there, create a realistic plan for batching essential content and delegating responsibilities. My first maternity leave taught me a painful lesson about insufficient planning when I found myself updating resources at 3am while watching my newborn sleep in her rocker during back-to-school season. The hustle mentality during what should be a precious bonding time took a significant toll on my wellbeing that I've been determined not to repeat.Your preparation strategy should distinguish between what truly needs continuation (email marketing, customer support) and what can comfortably pause (blog posts, new resources, social media). For team members, create clear guidance and have them practice critical tasks before your departure to minimize questions during your absence. Consider seasonal opportunities that might arise while you're away—optimizing Halloween or Valentine's Day resources beforehand can prevent mid-leave panic about underperforming listings. Most importantly, give yourself grace. Don't feel pressured to batch three months of content or return at full capacity immediately. Your business should adapt to your life circumstances, not the other way around.Ready to plan your own strategic pause?

Every September, teachers get swept into the “stress spiral” - the endless to-do lists, stacks of papers to grade, and the constant feeling of barely keeping your head above water. But what if this season didn't have to drain you?  In last week's episode, I kicked off the September Survival Series, which highlights how teachers can regain control and re-establish routines and procedures with confidence once the realities of the school year set in. The challenge is that the stress spiral often takes hold before most teachers even realize they're in it. That's why, in episode two of this series, I define what the September stress spiral is and share practical ideas and mindset shifts you can use before it takes over your classroom.

Finding yourself wasting precious hours scrolling through Facebook groups, comparing your TPT store to others, or stressing about platform changes that are completely outside your control? You're not alone. The TPT seller community is filled with noise that can easily derail your focus and drain your limited energy reserves.In this no-nonsense episode, I tackle the five most common distractions that prevent teacher-entrepreneurs from making meaningful progress in their businesses. From the dangerous trap of fixating on other sellers' earnings to the false promise of "quick hacks" that claim to transform your business overnight, I break down why these distractions are so harmful and how to put your blinders on to stay focused on what truly matters.We dive deep into why copying someone else's successful strategy rarely works (hint: it's like being that awkward kid repeating jokes at the lunch table hoping for the same laughs), how comparing business expenses with other sellers can lead to poor financial decisions, and why engaging in negative conversations about TPT platform issues only wastes your valuable time and mental energy.As teachers juggling classrooms, families, and side businesses, our energy is our most precious resource. This episode provides practical guidance for protecting that energy and channeling it into activities that will actually move your business forward in meaningful ways. Whether you're just starting out or looking to scale your existing TPT business, these insights will help you build a more purposeful and sustainable teacher business without the distractions.What area of your TPT business do you need to put blinders on for?

At the start of the school year, everything feels fresh. Students are eager, polite, and full of curiosity. But as the weeks go on, that initial sparkle can begin to fade. Routines get tested, boundaries are pushed, and the excitement starts to wear off. For most teachers, this transition tends to happen in September, when reality starts to set in. That's why I'm launching a brand-new series called the September Survival Series. Over the next three episodes, you'll get practical tools and strategies to help you navigate this first big month of school with confidence. In this first episode, I'm diving into how to reset your classroom routines without starting over. You'll learn how to do it in a way that's calm, consistent, and reinforces your authority.

Remember when TPT felt like the promised land of passive income? When a feature in their newsletter could skyrocket your downloads overnight? Those days are behind us, but that doesn't mean you can't thrive as a teacher-seller in today's marketplace.The teaching resources landscape has fundamentally transformed. What worked brilliantly in 2018 might be holding you back in 2023. As someone who's navigated these changes while maintaining a successful business, I'm pulling back the curtain on four pieces of outdated TPT advice you can confidently leave behind.First, let's address the passive income myth. While you can build systems that reduce your workload, true "set it and forget it" success simply doesn't exist anymore. Even established stores require maintenance as search trends evolve and algorithms update. The Pinterest strategies that once drove direct sales have similarly become ineffective in isolation – today, Pinterest serves as one component in a broader marketing funnel rather than a standalone solution. TPT's newsletter features and the famous "50 product rule" have also transformed in significance, requiring us to adapt our approaches accordingly.But don't worry – this isn't all doom and gloom! Some principles remain timeless: creating high-quality, comprehensive resources that solve real teacher problems will always outperform quick-made materials. The "slow cooker" approach to business building still yields the most sustainable results. I'll show you how to focus your energy on what actually moves the needle in today's marketplace.Ready to stop wasting time on outdated strategies and start building a TPT business that aligns with current realities?

The educational technology landscape is shifting dramatically, and two alarming trends are reshaping how teachers can use TPT resources in their classrooms. If you've invested time creating digital materials or incorporating QR codes into your teaching resources, these changes could significantly impact your product's usability and your TPT sales.The first major shift involves statewide cell phone bans, with Texas leading this movement and other states following suit. While many teachers welcome this change for classroom management, it creates a challenge for resource creators who've built convenience features requiring personal devices. When teachers see QR codes in product previews, they might immediately dismiss resources as unusable in their technology-restricted environments, even when these features are merely optional enhancements. As a seller, it's crucial to clearly label these elements as supplementary and provide alternative access methods to maintain your market reach.Perhaps more concerning is the growing divide between "Google schools" and "Microsoft schools." This isn't simply about platform preference – it's increasingly a compliance requirement tied to student data protection and district insurance policies. Teachers at Microsoft schools may be explicitly prohibited from allowing students to access Google-based resources, regardless of educational value. Similarly, Google Chromebook users often encounter compatibility issues with Microsoft files. This technological segregation means that creating resources exclusively for one ecosystem could inadvertently alienate half your potential market.The TPT marketplace has never truly offered "set it and forget it" passive income, but these technological shifts make regular updates more essential than ever. By creating dual versions of digital resources and clearly labeling technological components as optional, you can protect your market position and demonstrate your commitment to serving all teachers. While adapting requires additional effort, it also creates opportunities as older, inflexible resources become obsolete. How are you experiencing these changes in your classroom or TPT business? I'd love to hear your thoughts and strategies for navigating this evolving landscape.Check Out My YouTube Channelhttps://www.youtube.com/c/laurenfultonMy Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/laurentschappler/My Other YouTubehttps://www.youtube.com/@LaurenATschFree Rebranded Teacher Facebook Grouphttps://www.facebook.com/groups/749538092194115 Support the show

If you've been pouring endless hours into your Teachers Pay Teachers business without seeing meaningful growth, you might be falling victim to one of the three biggest time-wasters plaguing TPT sellers. As someone who's navigated the TPT marketplace for nine years (five of them full-time), I've witnessed countless talented educators spinning their wheels on activities that simply don't drive results.The first culprit? Obsessive product revision. While quality matters, constantly updating your first dozen products means you'll never reach that critical 50-100 product threshold where momentum builds. Instead of revising every time you learn something new, apply that knowledge to your upcoming products. Consider implementing a revision ratio—perhaps updating one older product for every five new ones you create. This keeps your catalog growing while gradually improving older listings without getting stuck in revision limbo.Over-researching is another silent killer of TPT success. The research phase feels deceptively productive while protecting you from the vulnerability of action. But you don't need perfect knowledge to begin—you just need to know the first step. Complete that step, then research the next one. This step-by-step approach prevents the analysis paralysis that keeps so many promising sellers permanently stuck in preparation mode rather than production.Perhaps most heartbreaking are the passion projects that don't sell. We all have resources we'd love to create, but without market demand, they become expensive hobbies rather than business assets. Before investing significant time in any resource, ask yourself: Is there an existing audience actively searching for this solution? If not, are you willing to build awareness through marketing? Your time is valuable, and ultimately, you deserve financial compensation for your expertise and effort.Ready to focus on strategies that actually work?
