EP200: The BEST in Show Celebration

Wow! I seriously can’t believe this week was episode #200 of the Thrive by Design Podcast! I started this show because I wanted to serve the jewelry community in a bigger way. This work means the world to me… Back in the 90’s when I was starting out, there wasn’t anything like this! We didn’t have free content. Heck, I don’t even think I had an email address yet! That’s why I’m so passionate about this work… I love serving this community. Helping YOU reach big numbers. Helping you grow your business. And how cool that we now have this platform to share information through! Although I’ve watched the industry change at a crazy pace, I’ve also realized… Many of the issues we were having back then (pre-internet), are the same ones we have now! They come down to the fact that we’re visionaries. We’re creatives. We’re literally artists. So even when the market changes, a lot of those struggles stay the same. So this week on the podcast we’re going back through all of the favorite episodes from the last few years. I’m going to recap some of the ones YOU, our listeners loved the most. And I’m going to share my personal favorites as well. So we can bring together the best of all this amazing content we have right at our fingertips. The bottom line is – we’re in this business because we love it! It's not all about money. It's about having a business we truly love… But in order to be happy with our business, we also need to earn! We’re going for that consistent income. For living a truly abundant life. And in order to get there, it takes work! It takes systems… We have to improve our hiring processes to really attract A-players… We have to learn to outsource and delegate so we can focus on our art… We have to think through our scalability… We need CONSISTENT high-earning months… And this applies at every level of the game. I loved talking to Melissa Spencer of Spencer Fine Jewelry about this. She’s in our SOS program and she told me, she used to think it was just for beginners! She already had a super successful business but SOS has helped her get those systems down. And it's helped her grow to the next level. So this really applies to all of us – beginner or seasoned vet. Now let’s talk about a few of those favorite episodes that are packed full of this valuable content.
