My name is Juanita Sims. I'm a single mom of an Ausome 16 (nearly 17) year old son whom I love to pieces. We're learning how to drive so please pray for me! LOL! I own an Operations Strategy business and I just completed a rebrand. I have very definite goals to achieve this year and getting my digital products in my own Etsy store is one of them. I'm looking forward to interacting with you all in the various discussions.

I’ve just finished a 2026 Etsy Planning Doc that breaks down: ✔️ What events & seasons actually matter on Etsy ✔️ When to start designing (so you’re not always behind 😅) ✔️ What to focus on each month — without chasing every shiny trend ✔️ A clear, calm roadmap instead of “What should I sell next?” panic This is the same framework I use to plan content, products, and promos ahead of time — so Etsy works around your life, not the other way round. 💡 I’m happy to share this for free with members who want it! 👇 If you’d like a copy, comment: 👉 “2026 PLAN” I’ll DM you with access ✨ (And yes — this is perfect if you want to stop winging it and start selling more intentionally next year 😉)

Hello everyone. I am really wanting to start my own craft biz mainly selling digital products to start. I just can't get out of my own head and make the leap. I reached out to a CPA to register a business but I haven't been able to make the return phone call to make an appointment. I get so nervous and afraid, that I talk myself out of it, after I get myself hyped up and feeling ready. I have played around in canva a little and also some AI stuff. I'm on a vicious endless cycle, lol. Anyway, I'm from Pennsylvania with a very supportive husband. I love being creative and making people happy with my craft gifts. I joined here to maybe get some more moral support and get more comfortable with the idea of just starting my etsy shop, after I decide on a name. I participate in craft and business summits and at first I feel so invigorated and motivated, then when the summit ends, I go back to the procrastination, anxiety, and overwhelm. Hopefully one of these days I will be able to break free. Thanks for letting me join and listening to me ramble, lol.
