“Once you shut a door on something that is not gonna work, you open the doors to the things that do work,” Claire Thomas and Annie Haines, co-founders of Bixby & Co.

When I learnt about today’s guests, the mother and daughter duo behind Bixby & Co, it came with a little story - see Annie, the daughter in the duo, had been listening to this very podcast while considering her next step. She was listening to the stories of business builders and simply thought “why aren’t I doing that?” And now here we are, hearing about her incredible business. Which has achieved so much in such a short time just by getting started. So if you have a desire to start your own thing or a motivation to grow your current business to whatever level you want – you’re in the right place.   In the sharing of their beautiful jewellery business, Bixby & Co, you’ll hear about: Tapping into the energy that eggs you on in business so you can keep pushing forward Allowing yourself to make some mistakes in order to get started The importance of in-person customer feedback Just why brand-awareness is so very important What failing fast looks like in practice Teaching yourself the skills you need to get started and refining as you grow And of the little moments of magic that add up over time These two and their gorgeous jewellery are a lot of fun, you’re going to love this business building story.
