Well I have not been feeling well. I have B12 deficiency which means I need B12 injections every 3 months and iron and folic acid tablets. Without the B12 I do not absorb the iron or folic acid. I forgot my B12 and then there was a mix up at the doctors and I had to wait 2 weeks for a ne appointment. Long story short I felt truely crap 💩 on Thursday so took the time off work. Managed to get an appointment yesterday for B12 and although I don’t feel better yet I have had a productive day. 💙Made a load of things for our classroom. ❤️Batch made some videos for the behind the scenes series. 💛 made a new banner, logo and updated my polices 💚 Audited my listings so I can make some quick listing tomorrow. But I know that I have to use my weekend for Etsy so in the interest of being with the family . I also took Luke and Luna on a walk. Luna was off the lead for the first time and she did so well. Luke was calling her and giving treats and I got some much needed fresh air. Oh and the cat (Molly) tried to pinch the dogs chicken snacks. 🤦‍♀️

@Clare Goodall asked me to cross post this. Hope it helps someone! Alice's tea party is chaos because nobody wrote down how to pour tea, where to sit, or what to do when the Hatter asks a riddle. Everyone improvises. Mess ensues. The moment you document it, everything changes. Your business scales. Your brain gets a day off. Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) aren't bureaucracy—they're your business's DNA. When you don't document, every task gets done differently by different people. Errors multiply. Training takes forever. You become the bottleneck. The moment you document the process, three things happen: consistency improves, new people ramp 10x faster, and you can automate (because now the computer knows what you know). HINT 1: Do this task after everything you do this week to create an SOP. Or better yet screen record for an hour, then upload your video into Gemini (if you have the paid version, I think the free version only will look at 15 minutes at a time), and say analyze this video and then give it the build me steps in the prompt below.) PROMPT: Help me turn one recurring task into an SOP. Ask me these questions one at a time: - What is the task. - What do I currently do? (AKA my current process) Then build me: 1. Streamlined Steps (remove what doesn't matter) 2. Decision Points (where choices happen) 3. Automation Opportunities (where tech can take over) 4. One-Page SOP (the doc I give a new person) 5. Quick Win (what should I automate first?) What's ONE task you do every week that, if it were documented and delegated, would free up hours of your time? That's your first SOP target. When it's in your head, it's your problem. When it's on paper, it's your system. ✓

What are your wins this week? What have you been working on ? Show us your pictures we love to see them .

Just wondered ladies. Since joining Skool I have been introduced to Voxer as you know and wondered if anyone else uses it. Or do you prefer another app like what’s app for example. I like just being able to keep notes in voxer I mean like voice notes that I can keep safe away from others and listen later or send when I am happy with them.

I’m so excited to introduce 🌱 Welcome to Alice — The Niche Explorer💛 Alice was created to help you gently explore what you could sell on Etsy, without pressure, overwhelm, or feeling like you have to get everything right straight away. Alice isn’t here to tell you what you should do. Instead, she helps you understand how you work best — what motivates you, what you enjoy creating, and what you’re most likely to stick with over time. From there, she offers a few thoughtful ideas you can explore at your own pace. There are no right or wrong answers. You don’t need a finished idea, a niche, or even an Etsy shop yet. This is simply a safe space to reflect, connect the dots, and see what possibilities start to feel exciting rather than stressful. At the end, Alice will suggest up to three possible directions that may suit you, with real Etsy-style examples to help you picture what they could look like in practice. You’re free to explore one, mix ideas, or simply sit with them for a while. There’s no rush here. But the price for Alice is an introductory offer which will change at some point in the future. At to be transparent you buy her once and then she is yours forever! Clarity often comes from gentle curiosity and small experiments. I hope Alice helps you feel a little calmer and more confident about your next steps 🌱
