What does it take to scale when part of you still wants safety? In this episode, we're talking with Tiffany Carter, money attachment expert and host of ProjectME with Tiffany Carter, about the mindset side of scaling a business. We get into the tug-of-war between the identity that wants more and the identity that wants safety, how to get unstuck when your income has plateaued, and what to do with the "what if it doesn't work" thoughts that kill momentum. Whether you're in the thick of scaling or still hesitating to take the first step, this conversation is for you.

Preston was one of my very first Etsy students back in 2021—and has since grown his laser engraving shop enough to replace the income from FOUR jobs! This spring, he and his wife challenged themselves to add 1,000 digital laser files to their already successful handmade shop, and the result was an additional $2K/month in passive income. Tune in to hear how they did it and why adding a digital component to your existing Etsy business could be an incredible way to scale without creating more physical work.

💛 A quick heads up — this episode includes a paid sponsor mention.

Q4 is the biggest sales opportunity of the year on Etsy — but the sellers who win it aren't the ones who scramble in October. In this episode, I'm walking you through a step-by-step Q4 planning timeline starting in July, the tips that will set your shop up to convert during the holiday rush, and the one habit that separates the sellers who grow every year from the ones who stay stuck wondering why it isn't working.

A quick heads up — this episode includes a paid sponsor mention.

Could an Etsy shop earning $200–$1,000 per month be worth more than you realize? In this episode, Cody and I discuss the surprising power of passive income, investing, and the role Etsy can play in building long-term wealth. Drawing from his FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early) background and his new book Retire by 30, Cody explains why you don't need a six-figure Etsy shop to change your financial future—and how even modest monthly profits can create meaningful freedom over time.
