Busy all day but your business isn't growing?

I've teamed up with Rio Grande to help you thrive in business. In this video, I share my best time management strategies for jewelry designers, where your time should really go, how to cut the busy work, and how to stay in control of your pace.

Plus I point you to the easy Google Calendar strategy I use to run my whole week.

My Google calendar time management strategy that helps me get through my whole week. I hope you find it helpful too!

The Jewelry Pricing Formula I Promised 👇

Materials x 5 (at least)
• labor
• packaging
• 5-15% of your overhead (operating costs)
= retail price

Wholesale = retail ÷ 2

Fine jewelry = materials x 3

If you want access to my pricing calculator app that does all the calculating for you and where you can save all your materials and designs, it’s a free bonus inside The New Jewelry Market Playbook.

Inside The Playbook, I also show you how to get in front of the right person who happily pays your price.

I don't let myself resign to fear. I think this is how I've reached the success I've had over the years. I just keep going no matter what I'm presented with.

We have to be strong like mountains. What other choice do we have?

Life can be hard and so can business. But we have to keep moving forward and up, right to the top of Mt. Crested Butte!

I reached the peak a week ago and it was spectacular.

It was challenging but we made it. It felt like such a thrill to be up there at 12,000 ft.

And that's what business can feel like too. It's thrilling, but challenging.

I'm in for all of it.

What about you?

Want to hike on this mountain with me? It's what we will be doing at the upcoming fall jewelry business retreat💙

I love Shandra's story because when we first spoke she wasn't fulfilled with her work. She wanted more. So she changed her whole life!

She was one of my very first online metalsmithing and business students and she is rocking it.

Actually she helped me create our entry level business program and now she has a thriving business.

Her work is incredible, as you can see ☺

You can find more on her page Jewelry Co.

I know you have always wanted to be a silversmith too, that you're craving more fulfillment, passion and creativity in your life.

Silversmithing provides all of it. Many people have told me that our courses have changed their life.

I'd love for it to change yours too.

We have a summer silversmithing sale running until the end of August. 50% off! I've never done that before.

I also have a metalsmithing and dream business bundle that includes everything Shandra has taken and helped me build.

You can find our courses from the link below!

Can't wait to help you shine!

If a small voice has ever told you that you should have started years ago, I want to gently set that thought aside for you.

It is not too late. It has never been too late. Some of the happiest, most dedicated makers I have taught came to this craft well after they thought their time for learning new things had passed. They sat down, made a first ring, and only wished they had begun sooner, not that they had begun younger.

Skills like this are not reserved for a certain age or a certain kind of person. They are for anyone curious enough to try. You bring the curiosity, and I will walk you through the rest, step by step, at your own pace.

Every course is on sale right now. Wherever you are in life, this is a wonderful moment to begin.

My brand new jewelry studio! This is a dream come true but I started out without a studio and so can you.

“I’ve always wanted to be a silversmith” is what I hear all the time from people that come into my school.

That is why I created my online courses, because it doesn’t take having your own studio, or thousands of dollars in tools.

It takes starting with what you have. The dream of making handcrafted jewelry.

Silversmithing is just the beginning too! It opens you up to a whole world of possibilities with creating, yes, but also with living from a place of fulfillment and passion in life.

And precious metals as an asset which leads to wealth building which leads to business and on and on.

This is what silversmithing started for me. And so many others.

Almost all of the images I share on this page are the work of my students. Incredible designers and people that I love having in my life.

They all started somewhere too.

All the pieces on my table, you can make also. I show you how in my courses, which are all 50% off until the end of this month.

“Thank you for changing my life. I’m forever grateful”

“My husband has never seen me this happy.”

“This has literally changed my life.”

Come change your life like these women! Find creativity, fulfillment and purpose in your daily life.

It doesn’t take having a studio😊

I’ll put the link to the courses below.

One of the things I love about silversmithing is how well it fits into a real life, in every season of it.

On slow mornings, it is a quiet way to start the day. On long evenings, it is a project to lose yourself in. During busy stretches, you set it down without guilt and pick it up again when things ease, exactly where you left off. It bends around your life rather than demanding you rearrange everything for it.

That is what makes it something you keep coming back to for years, not just a passing interest. The bench is always there, ready whenever you are, whether you have ten minutes or a whole afternoon.

With every course on sale right now and lifetime access included, you can begin whenever it suits you and let it grow with you through every season.
