Today we are talking summer slump! We’ve heard from many that sales have already been kind of slow as of late… so we’re pulling apart some ways that we’re making improvements to combat that old familiar tendency to slump! 

For Anna, this is the first year that crosslisting to other platforms has been part of that plan, so she takes us a little further into that journey so far.

This week, we are doing a little check-in on our “why” - what happens when you are set up for success, your goals are met, and you suddenly have choices you didn’t have before - choices that don’t really show up in growth mode. Do you set new goals, shoot ever higher? Do you cruise for a while? We may wax slightly philosophical in this one, but it’s an important question for sellers who find themselves - or hopes to find themselves - surveying their business from a new height.

This week we are expanding some previous conversation stemming from our challenging sprint month of April - and tackling the topic of decision fatigue! How does it show up in our lives at home and in business? What does it cost us? How can we mitigate it? Tune in to learn a little and walk away with some strategies to fend off decision fatigue AND conquer those unmade decisions that show up as clutter in your life. No wonder it's so overwhelming! Processes aren’t just preferences, they are protection against bad decision making; it’s time to sweep out those cobwebs!

The no-spend sprint of April is done, so it’s time to review our numbers, comparing where we started in week one to where we stand today with the health and growth of our businesses. SO much has been accomplished this month, and we took on a new no-spend challenge each week, so there is a lot to discuss! We do have one final challenge for you to do along with us though, as we move into May: cash in on spring!

Take the time you would be doing some free sourcing and do something for free that benefits your mental health. It can still be free, all you have to spend is some time and effort. So join us in rewarding progress, finding a rhythm, and taking a break to enjoy!

Checking in for another week of our No-Spend April challenge series! Ken and Anna report back on their network-related no-spend sourcing efforts of last week and set up this week’s unique challenge: increasing exposure for existing listings and inventory! We are talking about crosslisting to amplify your inventory without spending a dime (take advantage of a free trial!), putting some of your stuff on marketplace or some other local spot for pickup, having a yard sale if you’re already in a purging mood, posting your items to social media, reintroducing yourself and your business model to your audience and sharing your journey.

Pick one and give it a try - then let us know how it went!

Q1 2026 is in the bag! Setting the scene for a special approach to April, we are giving you a new challenge every week this month - the first one starts now! For the whole month, the rules are: so spending, so stealing, no complaining! But no spending doesn’t mean no sourcing… and that’s where our challenges come in. This week we are sourcing at home - that’s right, your home is a goldmine, and your job this week is to harvest some things to sell from your own environment. We hope you will take the challenges with us and report back about how your challenge goes this week! Happy sourcing!

So… what have we accomplished 3 weeks into our self-determined March Madness? What tasks are outstanding? What have we learned? As always, being self-directed in our work can be a double edged sword - there is SO much to talk about as we approach our final mad dash to the finish line of March!

Contrary to the face value, this month of madness is very strategic. A little unhinged, maybe, but still, the madness is by design. Initially, we thought this was going to be all about checking our existing inventory and tightening it up… but there was more madness in store than we planned for! 

Is it more about clearing old inventory and tidying up in terms of inventory management, ramping up listings, or sourcing aggressively - it seems like it's been some combination of all three in reality. So what are the methods and mindsets behind our multiple areas of madness this month? That’s what we are laying out in today’s episode.
