Thrive By Design: Business and Marketing Strategy for Fashion, Jewelry and Creative Brands

I’m your host, Tracy Matthews, Chief Visionary Officer of Flourish & Thrive Academy. After 20+ years in the jewelry industry, I believe you deserve to make money doing what you love, without spending every waking minute doing it. I’ve built two jewelry businesses: one that totally flopped after years of stress and burnout, and then one that I built around MY desired lifestyle, which is still thriving to this day. Both were fueled by equal passion and dedication. The only difference is that I realized your business should be built around your lifestyle, not the other way around. I founded Flourish & Thrive Academy because it’s my mission to help independent jewelry designers and handmade product makers like you build a business that THRIVES in today’s market and aligns with what YOU want. Every week, I’m dedicated to demystifying the secrets of the jewelry industry and teaching you tips and strategies that are working now, so you don’t have to learn the hard way, like I did. My Desired Brand Effect Methodology has helped thousands of jewelry designers and makers build and scale businesses that create financial freedom in their lives. Building a business is a marathon, not a sprint, and you don’t have to do it alone. I’m so happy to be on this journey with you.

EP383: From Soul-Sucking Day Job to 23 Wholesale Accounts in 1 Year with Rosie Harris 0
Jan 12, 2023

If you have one of those “soul-sucking” day jobs with no opportunity for growth….

Or you just want to be inspired by another jewelry maker doing big things…

You’ll love this story!

Whenever I hear a good “I-quit-my-full-time-job-to-pursue-my-jewelry-biz” story, I have to learn more – especially when that designer doubled her online sales and now has 23 wholesale accounts – in just a year.

Pretty mind-blowing and exciting at the same time!

Meet Rosie Harris of Joie Designs. I interviewed her on the Thrive by Design Podcast about her phenomenal growth over this last year.

During this inspiring episode, we chat about…

  • Her journey into doing her jewelry business full time to leave her soul-sucking job
  • How she overcame her fears to cold email stores (and land lots of accounts).
  • What she did to double her website sales last year (before and after photos included)
  • Why following a roadmap grew her business faster this year than any year previously
  • Suggestions for jewelry makers who want to turn a side hustle into a full-time lifestyle business

Rosie wrapped the episode by sharing: “If you saw the progress I've made, it's phenomenal. That progress feeds my confidence to go forward into my next set of goals.”

Her progress came from following our step-by-step business building roadmap in the Laying the Foundation Program after she joined at this time last year.
