I feel like I need this video a lot, because yeah, I haven't gotten a single sale in my new etsy shop yet, but over the past 2.5 months I've drawn and created more art than I have in the past year, expanded my knowledge of e-commerce and online marketing tenfold (literally!), and I'm more motivated to do things I want/like (hiking, camping, boating) because that's the niche/theme of my store and I'm doing 'research'.

[@dorl8218]

Don’t give up. For the 3 businesses I’ve setup (2 Etsy shops, 1 e-commerce for a friend) those have all taken 3 to 6 months to make a sale.

[@IndigoRhapsody]

What’s your Etsy shop name? I’m an Etsy shopper

[@mymentorjane6705]

I get you sister! I started a KZbin channel and the growth is slooow and the learning curve is hiiigh and steeeep. I have learned to reframe progress to remind myself of how far I’ve come by learning how to write, film, edit, publish and promote videos. What also helps me is rather than focus on all the people who are running wildly successful channels is to think about how many people “want” or “are thinking about” starting channels and haven’t and how many people who aren’t as far along as I am. It’s so true that learning, perseverance, and discipline are important measures of success in addition to sales and subscribers. So, we’re really much further ahead than we realized. I wish you all the best success and happiness in the future. And let us know what your store is so we can check out your merch.

[@GarnerGrowth]

I have an Etsy shop for 3 months now and no sale yet so I feel you. As you keep learning ways to overcome the market saturation, and do ads, you’ll see results. It takes time and money to make money. I’m in the same boat 🙌🏾

[@Abidzilla]

Thank you very much ! I can't help feel your genuinity in helping others improve !

Set goals, focus on the work and de-attach yourself from the results. From:- Bhagawat Geeta ❣️

[@jamesmerutka889]

As I am an American and therefore far removed from a lot of cultures... how do you pronounce Bhagawat Geeta? I like this.

[@shivatrivedi6964]

[@warrenbradford2597]

Issues with Outcome-Focused Thinking: 1. There is limited view of what success and failure look like. 2. It encourages an "at any cost" mentality, which can lead to unethical or unhealthy behaviors. I will explain these as two reasons to avoid focus on outcome and instead on process.

[@lekhaemerald]

Thanks!

[@TheArtofImprovement]

You're welcome and thank you, Lekha!

[@theemclane4037]

Weirdly enough this is what happened when getting my tattoos, instead of working on just getting a full sleeve I decided to slow it down and look for better artists, save up to travel and generally enjoy the tattooing process, this made me notice howmany mistakes I was doing getting random tattoos to fill my sleeve and made me stop going for even more stupid ideas

[@JS-jh4cy]

Why get a tattoo, take a trip instead and ask customs to tattoo your passport with a real ink and stamp

[@thelightwecarry]

I gotta admit sometimes it can be really hard 😓

[@krystopher3755]

This is the detriment of myself right now , i can’t do the things i need to do in my business because im constant focused on upset in the outcome, and with relationships because i want everything right now i stead of enjoying the present. I’m lost, and i know this will be one of the deciding factors in my success

[@janicepatty]

what a great mindset to develop for the purpose of slowing down (and smell the flower). thank you!

[@Scottlp2]

This is tricky: getting clear on your end goal (starting with end in mind) is a helpful GTD step and crucial. Not the same as ignoring serendipitous discoveries on the way.

[@ric6611]

I agree, they aren't mutually exclusive. I believe GTD also incorporates periodic reviews of what you're doing. You can totally have an end goal in mind, and work towards it. Then, later down the line, review what you've done and realize that going for a different end goal might be more helpful in the long term.

[@abrahamdixon]

I agree with continuous improvement, learning from failures, and enjoying the journey. From a personal growth perspective, giving more weight to the process makes sense. It keeps us healthy, we learn a lot in that journey. However, the outcome is also important, especially when we are talking about organizations. When organizations focus solely on output without considering whether it leads to meaningful outcomes, they end up tackling the wrong problems. Some may get lucky.

[@Parkitloveit]

Enjoying the process while doing something useful that other people might be interested in, that’s exactly what I’m doing ❤️

[@PeterBarber]

Great video and INCREDIBLE illustrations -- bravo

[@TheArtofImprovement]

thank you! cheers

[@Moepowerplant]

So this might be a case in favor of patience. It makes you focus on the process rather than a possibly distant outcome. The outcome may be there simply to provide direction or rationale to the process, but the process is the real star.

[@soldier5659]

It completely changed my mental pattern

[@Jzz3626]

Mr. Adam, could you please make a video of your own journey, failures, obstacles and lessons learned along the way, please? Thank you 😊

[@soumyajeetmitra6958]

very nice illustrations Thank You for motivating to stay and be in the Pressent with loving the Process

[@curtebo]

You're Awesome, really appreciate your pragmatic approach.

[@chinmayjoshi353]

You are doing really good work. I am really benefitted by it.

[@Chosenlaur]

This is great message

[@azemzejnilovic2893]

I've been hearing this idea everywhere lately. is there a reason why it got so popular all of a sudden ?

[@deelynn8611]

I focus on the time wasted. Time is the one thing we cant get back once spent.

[@warrenbradford2597]

Then focus on things you know you would benefit from before spending time on it. Can you do that? It is also worth noting that it is more important to focus on the here and now than on the past.

[@mpersard]

Great video that advice is really helpful. Something I need to continue to work on as before I was just focusing on the Outcome. 👌🏻💪

[@Rosannasfriend]

This has been true in my life.

[@supremesyb]

focus on the process, surrender to the journey

[@WarrenD477]

No bots overe here thanks again 💯💯💯

Many thanks for sharing this great insight. Is there a book that you recommend which detail this? Thanks once again.

What if outcome they were focused on was to make more money?

[@danishiqbal2047]

I don't agree with the story you used as an example. They were focused on the outcome which was building a game, when it didn't work out they pivoted.

[@stormlord1984]

Yes, but how?

[@groob33]

It's a process.

[@josedavilatraavieso4327]
