I wanted to do things a little differently this week, something that aligns with our goals to continuously improve as a brand. I invited my man Jason Ayers back on to talk about how to shift your mindset to benefit your success. Part of our transformative plans for F&TA means Jason will be joining our Momentum Mastermind Program (formerly SOS) as a Success Mindset Coach. Because even if you’re doing everything else right in business, a negative headspace means you’ll always be getting in your own way.

Whether you’re working from home for the first time or trying to improve your established home office habits, this is the episode for you. Finding your groove while working from home has been a creative challenge facing jewelerypreneurs (especially if you have kiddos running around!) on a massive scale. But as a life coach and interior designer, Tobi Fairley has been helping creatives like you tackle this challenge long before stay-at-home orders were in place. She’s one of those gifted entrepreneurs who know that your creativity is your greatest strength in business. Tobi recognizes the connection between a well-designed space, a thriving business, and a fulfilling lifestyle that gives you space for all your dreams and passions. With so many people working from home, she sat down with me to talk about how to makeover your home office (and your time-management habits) to maximize your productivity at home.

I want to do something a little different this week… 2020 has been a year of reflection and change for me, and I hope it has been for you, too.  So I decided to reevaluate and get real about Flourish & Thrive Academy’s core values. It was a necessary exercise for me, and I hope it inspires you to do the same. Because we are built on the value of community over competition, and standing with your community means you’re always learning, always reflecting, and always innovating. As I talk about our core values and how we position our brand in alignment with them, I hope you can come to better understand how to identify and align with your own brand’s core values.

What happens when you’re doing the thing you're supposed to love but the stress of it is taking a toll on your personal life? Business burnout is no joke!  Sometimes you may even want to give up. But Jennifer Dawes is here to prove that you can always overcome overwhelm and turn your biz around. Jennifer has been in business for nearly 20 years, and is known for her eclectic fine jewelry. However, like so many designers, she hit a bottleneck and felt overwhelmed when it came time to grow her business. I first met Jennifer when she joined the Flourish & Thrive community. To say she’s completely transformed in the time I’ve known her would be an understatement. Utilizing our resources and her creative brilliance, she’s been able to overcome her hurdles and find tremendous success in business

How do you achieve freedom and financial independence? By taking risks. Elise Darma rebelled against her traditional upbringing and chose the freedom to travel instead of being tied down to a job.  She made her dream come true when she started her own business providing social media marketing services.  Social media is integral, now more than ever, to running your business - but learning a new platform can be intimidating.  Elise is here today to give us advice on how to help our businesses thrive in a whole new way.

What’s the most important tool to set yourself up for success? A good support network. Here at the Flourish and Thrive Academy, we aim to create antifragile businesses that can survive anything. Robin Kramer is my dear friend and co-founder. As an expert on wholesale and client relationships, Robin has been overjoyed to see all the creative solutions you have been coming up within the #ThriveTribe! The best quality of any creative entrepreneur is resourcefulness, and our community seems to have an endless supply. Even better, these success stories seem to have a lot in common...

Some designers think selling high price point jewelry is harder online, but Shehana Kimiangataue is here to prove otherwise.   She sells striking high-end jewelry with a cause. Her business used to rely primarily on retail sales, but when shelter-in-place hit, she immediately sought a quick and creative solution to keep sales flowing.  During a 2-hour virtual trunk show hosted on Facebook live, she managed to sell over $30,000 worth of jewelry.  Yes, you read that right! So how did she do it? Let’s jump right in.
