👋 Welcome back to the How To Be A Handmade Boss podcast! 

🎉 In this episode, we tackle a common struggle for many handmade business owners: staying motivated to complete those essential but less enjoyable tasks, like bookkeeping, PR activities, and business development.

❓ Join me as I answer a listener's question from Soul Seed Jewellery about shifting mindset and maintaining motivation when the results aren't immediate. I share practical tips and strategies to help you reframe your perspective, break tasks into manageable chunks, and celebrate your wins along the way.

In this episode, you'll learn:

  • How to reframe your mindset from "I have to" to "I get to"
  • The importance of focusing on the positives in mundane tasks
  • Techniques for breaking tasks into smaller, more manageable parts
  • Ways to implement a rewards system to keep you motivated
  • The benefits of visualizing long-term goals and establishing routines
  • How to use the Pomodoro technique to enhance productivity
  • The significance of celebrating your achievements, no matter how small

If your Etsy shop feels slow, confusing, or like your sales are happening by accident


This is your sign to stop guessing.

I’m running Listathon, a free live challenge for handmade business owners who want their Etsy listings to actually do their job.

Inside the challenge, I’ll show you how to look at your listings properly, spot what’s holding them back, and fix the foundations that help buyers find, trust, and buy from you.

Not by making more products.

Not by panic-posting on Instagram.

And not by working yourself into a tiny business gremlin with a label printer.

We’re fixing the things already sitting in your shop.

Your titles.

Your photos.

Your structure.

The bits that turn browsers into buyers.

So by the end, you’re not just hoping Etsy suddenly wakes up and blesses you with sales.

You’ll know what needs fixing, why it matters, and what to do next.

Listathon starts Monday 15th June.

It’s live, it’s free, and spots are open now at handmadebosses.com/listathonweek.
