34: 8 Strategies I’m Keeping in 2026 to Grow My TPT Store and Teacher Business

If you’re ready to walk into 2026 with more clarity, less overwhelm, and a whole lot more focus, this episode is for you. Today, I’m breaking down the strategies I’m keeping, the habits I’m letting go of, and the single biggest planning shift that has already made my business feel more intentional and aligned.

Inside the episode, we cover:

✅ What Actually Worked in 2025 (and why I’m keeping it in 2026)

• Listing TPT products consistently
• Growing and nurturing my ESL Teacher Membership
• Hiring help and staying in my zone of genius
• Keeping email marketing simple but consistent
• Blogging to add value + strengthen SEO
• Free and paid collaborations
• Monthly strategic planning sessions
• Growing my Facebook group intentionally

✅ What I’m Leaving Behind

• Overworking and believing more hours = more success
• Shiny object syndrome and business ideas that don’t align with my long-term vision

You’ll hear why clarity has become my guiding principle and how having a simple yearly skeleton plan has helped me instantly decide whether something fits my business—or belongs in the “nope” pile.

My #1 Strategy Shift for 2026

If you take nothing else from this episode, take this: Plan out your promotions for the entire year. You don’t need a detailed plan—just a simple structure. It creates clarity, reduces stress, keeps you focused, and protects you from shiny object syndrome.
