#83 - Here's why your Etsy shop is stuck.
Manage episode 512273487 series 3570096
Are you working harder than ever, but your sales graph just… won’t budge? 😩
You’re not lazy. You’re not failing.
You might just be stuck in what I call the Plateau of Busywork and it happens to almost every handmade seller at some point.
In this episode, I’ll walk you through how to:
⚠ Spot the 3 most common plateau signs
📉 Understand why your to-do list isn’t growing your business
🧠 Make small, strategic shifts that lead to actual progress
✨ AND stop wasting time on things that feel productive, but don’t move the needle
We’ll cover:
1️⃣ Why “doing more” isn’t the answer
2️⃣ How to focus your energy on what actually converts
3️⃣ The real reason your shop’s stuck and how to get unstuck fast
You’ll hear real-life examples from sellers who were posting daily, making products constantly, or jumping platforms… but still not growing and what changed it all.
💥 Whether you’re in full-on burnout or just feeling stagnant, this episode will give you clarity and confidence on what to fix next.
Plus: I’ll give you a simple homework task to separate busywork from growth work (so you can stop doing the stuff that’s draining your energy).
