Summary
How to run your own race as a Teachers pay Teachers Top Seller
Hey there CEO Teacher friend! I want to take you back in time and, no, I'm not talking Marty-McFly-Back-to-the-Future in time, but instead I'm talking back to the Teachers Pay Teachers days of yore. Back then, Teachers pay Teachers top sellers could be listed on a coveted "top 100" list. Ahhhhhh yes -- each week, TpT sellers would break out their pencil and paper and take notes on where they stood in the Teachers pay teachers rankings. And once upon a time, I even watched my face slide from page 18 to page 1 on the Georgie list and, eventually, into the top 10 in the state. And let me tell you - I was relentless. I kept notes, dates, timelines, goals, and...you get the idea. Am I still competitive? Yes. Am I still obsessed about where I stand? Ew, no. Nor do I care. And a lot has changed for the Teachers pay Teachers top sellers list, also. A few years back, TpT decided to do away with their teachers pay teachers sellers list altogether. This decision left some people in a tizzy. Some people were happy. Some people were sad. Me? Well, I was indifferent. A year or so prior, I had already made the decision to to keep my head down and run my own race. And interestingly, the year I decided to stop fighting for first place on a silly leaderboard was about the same time my business hit a million dollars in just 10 monthsā¦

| 0:00.0 | Hey friends, today we are going to turn back the hands of time and take it all the way back to the old days of teachers pay teachers. |
| 0:10.0 | Back when TPT used to have a top 100 list that they updated weekly and you could search by state who was a teachers pay teachers top seller each week. |
| 0:24.3 | And every single week, all TPP sellers would break out their pencil and paper |
| 0:28.8 | and take notes on who the week's winners were and where they stood in the rankings |
| 0:34.9 | overall state by state. Although it was primarily an unspoken competition, |
| 0:41.3 | it was a behind the scenes vicious one that had people whispering so much constantly. I was the girl |
| 0:50.4 | who watched her face slide from page 18 on the Georgia list to page one and eventually |
| 0:56.9 | in the top 10 in the state of Georgia. |
| 1:00.7 | And I was on fire for ranking really high to the point where my goal was to be a teachers |
| 1:08.2 | pay teachers top seller. |
| 1:10.0 | I even had a product ranked number eight for |
| 1:12.4 | the week on the top products of the week. So I became a Teachers Pay Teachers top seller and I kept |

| 1:40.7 | TPP decided to do away with their teachers pay teachers seller list extraordinaire. And it |
| 1:45.5 | left everyone in a tizzy. I say everyone, not myself, but it left people in a tizzy. Some were happy |
| 1:51.5 | because, well, they weren't on the TPP list anymore or their game wasn't as strong as it used to be. |
| 1:57.6 | So they were falling drastically in the rankings while others were mad because |
| 2:02.0 | they truly didn't see it as a healthy competition. Well, me, I was indifferent for some reason. |
| 2:08.5 | I had decided about a year or so before that they decided to stop posting it on their website |
