Great tips, thank you! Could you mabe do a video for someone that can do this business full time but is not able to invest money but time. How to start creating with free resources and once the sales are coming in, where to upgrade or invest first so you can build a bigger business. Just a thought. Thank you again!
Sandra, After 16 years in Finance, I now have the blessing to be a Stay at Home Mama to my two beautiful boys. Full Time job all day long! Your videos have definitely inspired me to "light the fire" back in me to get my business started and get things done. I had started to think that my task list was too short, but after watching this video, I realize that if I can get ONE big thing done for the day, it is that ONE step closer to reaching my ultimate goal. It is so amazing to see you doing your thing! I most definitely would love to learn more from you so I have been binge watching your videos while my boys take their naps. LOL. Anyway, all that to say, Yes, this video was helpful as have been several of your other ones! Keep them coming!
So proud of you Sandra. Followed you in youtube at the beginning and now you crossed the 100k subs mark. It just shows how much people love your content! And your consistency pays off.
You are right on. I have wasted days when I try to work with the TV on. But when I make a list and switch on music, sometimes the lofi girl, I get a tremendous amount of work done. Great advice that does work, thanks
You're very welcome! Yes absolutely, distractions are everywhere and the trick is to eliminate all of them to be fully efficient and focused. Glad you liked this one!
This is me. I’m so exhausted after my full time time job so when I try to spend time working on my business it’s like I’m spinning my wheels and getting nowhere. Thank you for some great tips and I definitely will try to apply them.
Wow, this video showed up right on time! Trying to get this side business started while working a full-time job has me feeling overwhelmed and like I'm just spinning my wheels at times. I will be using all of these great tips! Thank you!!
A own workplace is so important and made it for me. In the past I worked from kitchen table and didn't had the motivation to do more. Now I'm much more focused! Also focusing on the 3 top tasks a day and find time for sport to get new energy again. Thanks for you video!
These tips are super helpful and very manageable. I am a library media specialist (my full-time job) and some of these tips are even useful for me at work. Thanks for sharing! I feel like 2023 is going to be a great year.

شكرا ساندرا دي .. انت رائعة حقا طريقتك في الشرح تبين على انك قوية الشخصية تابعي .. حتما ستكونين في القمة😀😀😀
Thank you Sandra. This video speaks to my soul. LOL I work full time and yes when you get home you just want to crash. I'm usually so unorganized on my business on the days that I work. I come home, jump into my pjs and just get too relaxed. I'll dabble here and there to get some things done, but I'm not doing it in an organized way, which is the struggle. I'll use some of these tips you have. They sound like a great way to get more done without overdoing it and getting burned out.
I know how it is Vickie haha I totally relate. It's not easy - try dedicating a set time to work on your business. I sometimes even set a timer and put all distractions away so that it's focused, uninterrupted work. Wishing you the best of luck moving forward!! 🥰
This came at the right time. I feel so drained due to my job and I work from home. Ty for the tips! Definitely going to give these suggestions a try to help push myself to meet my goals for my business. Thank you for your time and the work you do! Keep it up!
I completely relate to you Sarah! I know how it is! I'm glad this video was helpful. If there's any specific content you'd love to see next, let me know :) wishing you the best of luck!
Man if I needed this video!! Together with my analysis-paralysis, finding time+energy to focus on a personal business while working full-time is the reason why I still didn't start, despite having ideas and some skills! Thanks for a great video as always and the tips are actually useful and new, to me... like the batch work..... I'm gonna start NOW with that, it's perfect for my inability to switch from one activity to another, so precious! ❤️
I'm so glad this was helpful! And I totally relate to your analysis paralysis struggle!! I struggle with that a lot too. And definitely batch working will save A LOT of time. Good luck!
Thank you for this. This is helpful. I do feel like I am trying to do everything and feel like I get nothing done. Batch working I am going to try and def get distracted with my phone. I also work full time. I feel like I get no where. Your videos help so much.
I know the struggle! I definitely recommend removing all distractions and also doing a task audit to take some off your plate and only focusing on what's important. Good luck!!
Thank you so much for these tips. I am currently working 9-5 remotely anyway and starting my own streams of passive income on top. I was getting so tired, which made me nearly stop my passive income stream, even though that is the the one I am passionate about, so thank you for the tips. Very helpful.
Thank you, Sandra; another amazing video which has fantastically helpful tips! Can you tell us what sort of engineer you are? I'm so impressed that you can do that job & still gives so much of your time & experience to us. :) You ROCK, girl!
Thank you Sandra I’m so disorganised with my time and procrastination is something I struggle with. I think it’s just confidence and shying away. The daily planner sounds great. I bought a weekly planner to try and help. Love your hair by the way 😁
Thank you so much!! And I can definitely procrastinate too so I relate to the struggle! Lol I hope you love the be planner you got and it helps you stay organized and motivated! 😍
This video is just what l needed to hear, AND you have a full time job, like many of us do! Hardest thing for me is trying to fit in time for workouts. I'm going to try the to-do list audit. Thx for all of your amazing videos. I'm a new sub.
Glad to have you here! A to-do list audit will help a lot! And yes I used to struggle with time for working out so I do it first thing in the morning before work :)
Great advice. I work 1 full time job, 1 part time job, and am trying to run a part time business and start on Etsy. I feel burned out and my time management has gone out of control because it just feels like there is no end. I think the "get dressed and put on make up" may sound silly to some but according to my Psychiatrist friend - this is a real thing. Even when people go through depression, doing those things can help your mental state because it forces self care. I will definitely be trying to do that more as living in pj's has become way to normal in my life at this point.
Yes absolutely!! I used to stay in pjs and feel super lazy and demotivated. It sounds like you have a lot on your plate!! I used to work 2 jobs as well. That's when it's most important to audit your tasks and actually reduce the list rather than add to it. Focus on the tasks that MUST get done to build your business. I wish you the best!! 🤩
@@SandraDi aww thanks for the reply... and thank you for making these videos. I really appreciate them. And you're so well spoken and poised and give such good info. Im so glad I found your channel. Keep it up!!
Thank you for this! I work full-time (the same hours of you) and have 2 children ages 7 & 8. Once we get home, it can be tricky to find additional time to work on my side business. Sometimes I get too distracted with my phone, so that is something to pay more attention to (or not pay attention to). Also, do you have the link for your planner from amazon?
Yes that can definitely be tricky! Is there someone that can help with the children for a couple of hours while you focus on your business? :) and yes I'm guilty of scrolling through my phone for too long as well! I will try finding the link to the planner and I'll include it in the description box once I do! :)
Thank You so much for your videos. They have been so helpful as I am just starting out!When using Canva for sellable digital downloads can you use templates or should they always be from scratch? Also in order to send links to the customer in Etsy is Canva Pro a must? Thank you in advance for your help!
Thanks so much! Some really helpful tips and "hard truths". I also listen to lo-fi when working! 😁 appreciate your videos! P.s. what is that daily agenda you're using??
Can you share the planner you use? Also do you have a specific way of keeping track of things - bills, subscriptions, sales, etc I use google doc & it’s all over the place I feel like it’s organized but not 😅 also this video is timely I watched this morning getting ready for work 😂 thanks for your cone t very straight forward and informative!
Yess I actually added the link to my planner in the description box because many people are asking for it! And I currently use a Google sheet haha! So I'm not different from you! I might switch to a different platform at some point but Google does the trick right now lol
Great video Sandra! I have 3 chaotic kids who suck whatever energy I have left after I get home from work. Any suggestions on "eliminating" these distractions?
LOL actually yes! Everyone's work plan is different so take a look at your calendar and see what times of the week you can pass the kids to your partner, a family member, a friend, a babysitter, etc. just for those couple of hours so you can work super efficiently before you get the munchkins back. Hope that helps 😉
Yes, yes, yes! Such great advice. 👏The program you taught a few months ago was truly life-changing and the best thing I have ever done for myself and my business. 💙💙
@@yayahsheyhenrietta9581 Sandra did a class that taught a small group of us how to establish our RUclips businesses. Unfortunately, she's not offering that class right now but if she ever does again I cannot recommend enough that you get in on it. I took that class with big dreams, my little baby channel is starting to grow, and my business plan is coming to life. Sandra is a phenomenal teacher, a true inspiration, and I'm really blessed to call her my friend too.
Being consistent is really a struggle for me. Thanks for the valuable piece of information. May I ask something out of the context really, I just love your fonts, have created some of my printables in illustrator, have bought a font bundle too but not satisfied. Can you pls name them and let me know about the source too
Just found you and am looking for other things I can make and sell. At present we sell different herbs and supplements but my daughter is very artistic and think we can work together to come up with something. Thank you for your upbeat personality and motivating ideas!
@@SandraDi Thank you, ive been working on cards and stationary for a few weeks its okay. But since looking at your videos, ive started doing wall art and i LOVE it. Once i have the wall art shop up and running, ill go back to stationary to get that online too. Thanks for the direction
The company that I work with just went down and now I found my self without a job and I still can’t depend on my business to pay the bills I feel so frustrated and I don’t know what to do.
I'm so sorry to hear what you are going through. It's not easy at all and I wish you the best moving forward whether you plan on finding a different job or starting a business from home (or both)
