No one likes to feel stack, especially by your cloud, but the IBM cloud is the most open and secure public cloud for business. It can manage all your absent data anywhere. Smart loves problems, IBM, let's put smart to work, visit, IBM dot com slash accessible Well, hello, what's up welcome beside us with school, my name is critical about, and this is the weekly recap. What number is it It is number six hundred sixth weekly recap of season three, also known as episode of seven hundred and seventy one up even having a good seventy Seventy days since we started the show, I've been doing great, I feel so fortunate to bring you the stories every day and here from a lot of our listeners in lots of different forms since Imelda Online Chat, which we introduce recently on the site in the side of a society which was recently relaunched

out and about as I travel. Sometimes we have allowed a great people out there and you are one of them. So thank you now, in today's audio update from a previously featured case city, which we do every week and this person mentioned something about changes being made in regards to Etsy at sea, as the main platforms uses to sell her jewelry. So she talks about how their been lotta changes there. She has to keep up and she also mentions in this update your here- she mentioned she's, making less money than she was when we first featured her on the show out back. So I just want to point that out, because you know I'm not trying to sugar coat anything here, we're trying to present real life. This is real life, real stories sometimes their up. Sometimes there are downs, and sometimes there are changes. I had a conversation with somebody recently where they're asking like. Why do you think Sicel School has resonated? Why are people listening to us? Why are some some listeners in fact, in listening every single day for

you're going on our third year here and my first responses to kind of turning back the listeners and say what ya know you tell me like. Why is it that you, you listen? Why is it that you take time your day to invest in yourself, as I often say, but I think it's for you know firstly, because we have a specific audience in mind, really trying to make the chauffeur people who aren't necessarily trying to become a full time, entrepreneurs, or at least not cereal entrepreneurs like they ve done other stuff for their lives. They have jobs. Usually they families or other responsibilities. So, in my opinion, these people aren't really served very well by a lot of other resources that are talking about starting a business now. Secondly, I think I'm also trying to give specific practical steps now, the whole tagline other show about inspiration. Action like I want one. It's be inspirational and motivation but I also want people to be able to go away and do something we able to have an idea out. Here's a website I can check out. Maybe I can make a profile here. Maybe I can buy something and sell it here. Maybe this gives me an idea for something else that I can do and then the third kind of overarching goal, and there is a point to this by the way I'm gonna come full circle and just a moment. The third overarching-

Oh, if everything here is to create a sense of possibility just to get people thinking and help them understand, are so many different ways. They can make money, and this is something that's really important. It's really critical in this day and age and this economy to be able to look out for yourself, no matter what your employment situation is. You still need to look out for yourself, so my hope is that all this going to put together is creating a sense of pain. Body you'll have to let me know how that goes, but to return to where I started like this need to keep up our thinking about their son. This need to keep up. If you are using a plot form if your business is predominantly built on a platform or a network, a website etc like Etsy, like Amazon likes wifi, it could be many many others not. What is it that you need to know because things are constantly changing, and so, if your businesses, both among those platforms, it's probably important to stay current, you know about that platform of the trends that relates specifically to what you're trying to do, but at the same time it's impossible to keep, everything so don't try. Another concern I hear over and over is, I just feel overwhelmed. I can't possibly keep up in my response,

says yeah. You're right, you can't possibly keep up with everything shall be selective with the things you choose to keep up with and then last but not least, when it comes to keep remember that change presents opportunity, suffer every prodigy or tactic that no longer works. Something goes away. You have to adjust to tweak they're. Probably many new ones is probably something coming out that might help you even more than what you're doing before. So that's how I try to frame a situation for myself like I'm, not To this, like changes come along, I have to make adjustments sometimes, to be very honest, I hope- onto the old ones. The old way of doing things for too long myself and almost Basically, whenever I finally let go and say: ok that was fined for a while, but something is different. Now, like the world is

Don I got it. I got to mix it up and what's actually embrace what's new, then I usually tend to feel better. I tend to have better outcomes. I tend to just be more successful at like all positive things. So if you find yourself struggling to keep up or idap to apply for in this changed, you know perhaps adversely affecting you at least in the beginning. I guess I'm not going to sugarcoat it. It's not fun when somebody comes along and your business to clients or whatever. But at the same time, remember that change presents opportunity are so much continued its examination of the topic, but from a different perspective, perhaps monitoring over now to Ruthie. Featured way way back. I think it was episode two hundred and ten, but she'll tell us that, along with an update and some advice,.

Last year with all the new modifications to the side. Revenue for my shop has been down about thirty five percent from last year, and it has motivated me to take control of my content.
