Hey, just listening to your video. Have you cleaned up your email list? You might be paying for contacts that haven't opened one of your emails in over a year. You could run a few email campaigns to try to re-engage the contacts that are inactive and if they still don't open your emails you could delete them off your list. Just an idea to optimise your email list and not have to go up to the next plan, at least not yet :-)

@DinaLu

I've actually have been cleaning up my email list using the bulk remove feature BUT.... it also removes people who have "Apple Privacy Opens" which means that I have deleted some contacts who have opened my emails but don't show up as "opened." A little bit confusing but that's why I stopped deleting contacts! @@gabuko_web_studio

All of these make sense - I have learnt that trying to do multiple things always burns me out. I just envisioned what my dream life will look like and then, focused on those fully

@DinaLu

Agreed, doing multiple things burn me out too so I usually just try to focus on 1 new income stream at a time. Everything else is in maintenance mode. Good luck!

I’m working on starting my own business. It’s scary but seeing your progress also gives me hope.

Another great video! I have a suggestion if you want to do less coaching but still want to help people. It is to do group coaching sessions instead of one-on-one. I've got a creative business coach and from time to time she'd host group coaching and it was really fun and beneficial because we got to hear other people's questions and also felt less alone in our journey. Good luck on this year!

It's really hard to say, because everybody's Etsy shop will have a different return on time! If I'm just talking about my own experience, it wasn't that worth it.... however, it helps you build up skills that you can use in later projects. So I feel more confident if I am going to start a second Etsy shop.
