Have you noticed how the biggest breakthroughs don’t always come from adding more listings… but from doing one small thing differently? That’s been my experience lately. Instead of chasing trends or copying what everyone else is doing, I leaned into something simple, structured, and already working and it completely changed how I see my Etsy shop. What surprised me most wasn’t that it works… but how many sellers overlook it because it doesn’t look flashy or “trendy.” It’s one of those moments that makes you pause and think: Why didn’t I focus on this earlier? Curious, what’s one small change that’s made a difference in your Etsy journey? Let’s share 👇

What are we all working on?

Its starting to feel like Christmas. Most people are in their kitchen creating up a storm for the upcoming celebrations. I thought I might add a little Christmas cheer myself. What Christmas treats have you been creating?

Seth Godin once asked: “If you were gone tomorrow, would your people miss you, or would they just find someone cheaper?” Whether you're creating art or a care giver, you have an art talent worth sharing. For those of us in The Creative Hearts Collective, "success" isn't about mass-market noise or the hustle, it’s about significance. To build a creative life that actually changes the world or even just one persons life. It helps to follow the three Godin rules: 1. Create for the "Smallest Viable Audience" 🎯 Stop trying to please everyone. When you try to be for "everyone," your art becomes "average." Be meaningfully specific. Solve a deep, emotional need for a small group of people who get you. They are the ones who will carry your torch. 2. Be the Purple Cow 🐄 In a sea of "good enough," be remarkable. "Safe" is the riskiest move a creative can make. What is the one thing about your work or this community that is so unique, people can’t help but tell a friend? Embrace your weirdness, it’s your superpower. 3. Art is Generosity ❤️ True marketing isn't "selling", it’s the generous act of helping someone solve a problem or feel a feeling. Whether you are teaching a craft or sharing a vision, you are helping someone make a change. When you lead with your heart, you don't have to shout for attention; you've earned it. The Shift: The era of treating people like "cogs" is over. The era of meaning is here. We aren't just making "stuff", we are making change happen. What is the one "remarkable" change you are trying to create in the world through your work? Let’s brainstorm in the comments below! 👇
