Team Spirit

I recently started working on an Etsy team of artists, called We Have Your Back, and what a wonderful team this turned out to be for me. Actually, for each of us, since we are constantly cheering one another on, and encouraging one another through sharing our thoughts, and promoting one another through various social media outlets.

The team was an attempt to find my way through the first steps of setting up an Etsy store front, and making friends along the way. It is always great to share creativity with others, but also wonderful that we share a common bond in creating and selling our products. This common factor, instantly gives a chance to connect and share easily.

The team captain, Dana, http://www.etsy.com/people/dnreyn7, has been a leader to all of us. Dana is constantly sharing ideas, and loves to get input from each of us. This alone, has put the 'team', in 'teamwork'.

As we roll along, we are constantly growing. It is fun to see the new people coming in, and I am amazed at the generosity, and kindness, that is flowing through our discussions. Even the occasional thread pops up, "I got my first sale", is enough to trigger a wave of happiness through our team.

Of course, we are from different cities, states, and countries; and working together. How nice to know that you can cross an ocean, and there are people who are nice, fun, and creative; all in a peaceful environment!

So if you are looking for team spirit, a place to belong, or new friends, I encourage you to join a team of wonderful, and worldwide, artists.
And remember, We Have Your Back!

  2. Dana, you should give yourself more credit.
    You created a team, manage it, and run over to the sidelines, to cheer us on. You must have a twin.
