Thrive By Design: Business, Marketing And Lifestyle Strategies For Your Jewelry Brand To Flourish And Thrive

If you're still working a full time job and you're trying to grow your jewelry business. If you're someone who is a full time mom, trying to make time to get your business off the ground or you're someone who just wants to transition from your career and do it all. I'm interviewing a designer named Candice Eve Padro of Abstracted Reverie. And she joined our Laying The Foundation program about 10 months ago or so. And I just love hearing her story because she is talking about what it actually has taken her to navigate. Building her business on the side while working a full-time job while launching her first website right before COVID hit and all the things and how she's really navigated that as a creative, I think you'll find this really inspiring if you're someone who gets frazzled by your business a lot if you're someone who is working a full-time job and you just think that there's no way that you could get your business off the ground or whatever it might b

It takes a lot of courage to walk away from an abusive relationship. So, when your jewelry business is part of the reason that you’re able to get out, heal and move forward… Well, that’s a true WHY for going all in on it! On the podcast today, I interviewed a very courageous woman, Claire Steckel of Skoll and Jewelry.   She took a bet on herself to go all in on her jewelry business to quit her job, leave an abusive relationship, and lean into her strengths as a maker.    During the episode, we chat about…   Her design influences + pulling from multiple genres to create a signature style that’s her own How her business helped her leave her abusive relationship and her 9-5 How she grew her business despite not being good at marketing Insights into her 500% growth last year   Here are the resources mentioned in the show:Skolland Jewelry Website FollowClaire on Instagram Take my FREE Masterclass How to Stand Out in a Saturated Market With a Timeless Jewelry Brand Join the Laying the Foundation Program Buy My B

One of the biggest reasons that creative businesses fail is because they aren't structured and they don't have a systematic way to grow their company. And so even though they might have gotten some success and sales and traction, you know, just doing all the things and putting themselves out there. What ends up happening is eventually they end up backtracking because they don't have the structure internally in their business to actually set themselves up for success. So if you are struggling as a creative to get more traction in your business with your jewelry or your product business, you are going to love today's interview. So make sure that you listen in for the reason why…   Here are the resources mentioned in the show:   Laying The Foundation - https://www.flourishthriveacademy.com/ltf/ Desired Brand Effect - https://desiredbrandeffect.com/ Momentum - https://www.flourishthriveacademy.com/momentum/   Are you enjoying the podcast?

I have a theory – a lot of people prefer to suffer than break up with a toxic habit. I’m embarrassingly guilty of this… A few weeks ago, I broke up with a very bad *old* habit that snuck up on me→ acting like a victim.  I’m embarrassed to admit it! It was affecting my business, my relationship with Jason, and my leadership.  Even though I knew I had to change or things were going to get a lot worse – I procrastinated and waited until the pain was too great NOT to change. It’s amazing what happens when you decide and commit to necessary endings. It’s just a few weeks later and everything has turned around in my life. If you’re someone who’s ready to release toxic behavior out of your life, listen to my podcast today where I walk you through a 5 step process to release and shake things up. I hope it helps you make a major breakthrough this year!  Listen to episode #382 of Thrive by Design to get your all-access pass to How to Shake Things Up to Get the Business You Want in 2023 Here are the resources mentioned

Mindset! It’s such a powerful tool for success and necessary for any jewelry business owner to reach their goals. Mindset is especially important for people who want to make at a minimum $100K in annual sales as a jewelry maker or designer.  I’ve noticed, after mentoring thousands of people with their business, that there’s a lot of shame and avoidance around the topic of creating financial success and security – and using their jewelry business as a vehicle for wealth creation.  Which got me thinking, why aren’t more women and creatives making what they really desire or deserve?  On the podcast today, I share my vision for helping jewelry business owners cross the 100K in revenue mark in 2023.  And I’ve decided that I want to commit to empowering a larger group of women (and men) to overcome the hurdles that hold you back from creating financial success for yourself.  If you’re ready to play big or go home….
