I signed up as an Amazon Associate so I could send you these links. That means Amazon sends me a (really small) percentage from qualifying purchases. It does not cost you anything extra to use the links and you could just google the items separate if you prefer but a big thank you to anyone who uses them. And I will ONLY ever include links to products I LOVE and use!

I have listened to Shawna since she released her first YT video, and have found her to be absolutely transparent, honest, and trustworthy. She's the real deal! Thank you, Shawna!!

Hey Shawna. I bet the argumentative comments reminded you of your time in the classroom! For every hater I wager there are hundreds of subscribers and members who adore and appreciate all that you do. You will not be able to get through to everyone. Some people believe they have their minds set right instead of having the right mindset.

Hi Shawna. It’s Magda. The newbie in your Membership. You shared something with us “a trend” that you saw potential in. You said “Do not sleep on this”. Those words are still ringing in my ears. I hustled during the weekend and opened a PNG shop. I used the trend patterns you told us about. I opened the shop on Sunday. I already have 18 sales and 5 - 5 stars review. I already see the popular items. 2 PNGs have been listed as “most loved” under the keyword I’m ranking for. Both have “x amount in cart” and in demand now labels. The amount in carts go from 8-12 and a bunch of favorites. I wasn’t expecting this but I wanted to share this here. It’s definitely a mindset game. With the right mindset you can see the opportunity, jump right in on it and many ideas start flowing in. That’s the beginning. From there just follow what’s doing very good. Which is what I’m about to do right now. I’m preparing to add a bunch of PNG options with the trendy patterns I used for the ones that took off and are selling. This WORKS!!!🚀

Shawna
Is the best friend I want off the internet because her positive energy is contagious!whatever business you have there’s a share for everyone. There are hundreds is salon owners where you live and all are successful because there’s a share for everyone! Same with Etsy!

[natashialyons]

I have done over 710 sales and most having more than 1 item per order in my first year, and I had no idea what i was doing. I'm learning every day. You do not have to explain the obvious to people who don't have the ambition to even try. Keep doing what you do!

[ThePoshThrifter]

People just don’t think before blurting out negative comments. It’s easier to be negative then to put yourself in one shoes and think the length they went through to teaching something for free. Their ass is too lazy to put into practice what you are teaching so graciously. Thank you for all your knowledge, my Etsy shop is a ghost town, but I am willing to start from the beginning and turn it around thanks to you. Thank you🌹

Shawna - I have listened to about 1/2 this video and feel compelled to stop and make sure you know all your videos are packed full of value and those of us in your membership ( and by listening to your YouTube channel) know that you are honest and transparent in your journey. And that will have to be enough because not everyone will hear your advice and journey the way in which you want them to! These Doubtful Debbies and Misinformed Marys will believe what they need to feel validated in their approach. I appreciate you wanting to encourage but what you may not realize is that you already encourage us just by being you and sharing what you do! Please don’t lose another minute of sleep over anyone’s comments. Those that really want to learn from you will ask you questions- whether in person or in comments. And those that don’t will just “snark” and disappear! Those are minds that are not open to any new ways of thinking. Please know you are how very much you are valued and appreciated ❤

I LOVE your energy Shawna, that is why your shop is SO successful!

[GrannyBeth]

I don't know why but I'm loving the effort, because the effort is so much fun I could just be wasting my time going the wrong direction. However, you are true Etsy whisperer and help guide me.

One.thing, could you do a video on how you handle the accounting/bookkeeping for your shop?

[richm]

Wonderful message, Shawna! Mindset is truly a choice we all make every. single. day. With the right mindset anybody - and I mean ANYBODY - can succeed with an Etsy shop. I wish we could convince newbies how bad we ALL were at designing and running an online business when we first started - I mean, holy cow, when I look back at our first designs 4 years ago compared to now! It is such a learning curve and takes hard work and perseverance. Isn't there a 10, 000 hour rule to get good at something?! It definitely applies here!!

Anyway, thanks for all of your efforts at helping others. It takes time to put together the guidance that you share!

[sonz]

Hey Shawna. I can’t believe you had to even say these words. You are so real and actually go to heights to help people! You have brought so much encouragement and support into my life and this is way before I was even in the membership. WE are the lucky ones to have your guidance. I totally love you and Tucker! Thank you ❤

[rachelfarley]

LOVED this video!! And yes!! The more I design the more I realize there’s so much room for everyone on Etsy!!

[KarenWindle]

Simply Shawna is Simply the BEST! Keep the positive energy flowing!

I never leave comments but I feel bad that the negative ones made you feel this way! I found you later into my Etsy journey and have learned sooo much from you in terms of standing out, bringing value to the market, and doubling down. You give such amazing insight and always have such a positive attitude!!! I am always motivated after watching your videos and appreciate everything you do to help others ❤️❤️

[Carontiff]

So true! Thanks for the great advice. I’m in my 1st year and lots of errors, time-wasting and personal struggles. But all the lessons have to be learned by oneself. The most important lesson is to set the right mindset and make it sustainable, not only for this business, but also for the health (mental and physical) and relationships. We have to be patient and be kind to ourselves .

[alishaa-yz]

You're SIMPLY AMAZING!! One hundred percent, no doubt! I've watched almost all of your videos and you're so full of life and positive attitude and mindset & give such great advice! I come to your videos whenever the grind gets hard and your voice and perspective always cheers me right back up. Never ever got a feeling that you're scamming or misleading. Keep doing what you're doing! You ROCK! Haters gonna hate, because that's all they can do. It's so much easier to hate & pass judgements on others than build, grow and scale your own business. So please ignore them and keep shining bright and spreading the love! <3 We need more people in the world like you!!!! Lots of love to you!! ❤❤❤

[crystallee]

I appreciate your honesty in all your videos! You've been a great encouragement in my POD journey!

[CindySimpson-ho]

oh Shawna...you just confirmed everything I thought about you. You are real, caring and truly wanting to help others on your journey! The fact that you lost sleep over comments says so much. You care! You want to help! And I totally support you and cheer you on! Mindset IS the key to all success! I hope you have a blessed week!

[momandme-eu]

I really like the videos that I have watched so far.
There are always going to be negative people in this world. I felt bad that they took up your mental space.
Your comments about why you started this in the first place will resonate with many people. Keep doing what you do!

[maltezebubblegum]

Etsy is not for everyone but I know it’s possible! Because I’m slowly getting there and I follow her information on research and quality listings! Like she said it’s a positive mindset, knowing that in the end be you will get to the increased sales!
