#48 - How to keep going when you're not seeing results - AMA (Ask Me Anything)

👋 Welcome back to the How To Be A Handmade Boss podcast! 

🎉 In this episode, we tackle a common struggle for many handmade business owners: staying motivated to complete those essential but less enjoyable tasks, like bookkeeping, PR activities, and business development.

❓ Join me as I answer a listener's question from Soul Seed Jewellery about shifting mindset and maintaining motivation when the results aren't immediate. I share practical tips and strategies to help you reframe your perspective, break tasks into manageable chunks, and celebrate your wins along the way.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• How to reframe your mindset from "I have to" to "I get to"
• The importance of focusing on the positives in mundane tasks
• Techniques for breaking tasks into smaller, more manageable parts
• Ways to implement a rewards system to keep you motivated
• The benefits of visualizing long-term goals and establishing routines
• How to use the Pomodoro technique to enhance productivity
• The significance of celebrating your achievements, no matter how small

💪 Whether you're just starting your handmade business or looking to scale, this episode is packed with actionable advice to help you stay on track and motivated.
