In this personal episode, I share my experiences as a first-time vendor and speaker at the Permanent Jewelry Expo (PJX). It was an incredible journey filled with both challenges and triumphs. I have to admit, there were moments when I wanted to call Andy and say, "Just kidding, I don't want to be a speaker!” But I trusted my gut and went for it!
Let's catch up and chat about all the struggles and successes from PJX! The day before PJX, I hadn't received some of my shipments, and I was still working on my speech—procrastination at its finest! Despite these and many other hurdles, the energy and passion in the first class I taught were so validating! Speaking about handmade jewelry, something I am very passionate about, was incredibly rewarding. Handmade is where my entrepreneurship journey started, and I loved talking about and teaching how fellow Permanent Jewelry Owners can incorporate handmade into their businesses!
I loved getting to meet and mingle with so many like minded PJ Artists! After PJX, I felt a tremendous demand for this membership, so I got to work! I created the glow-up and bangle videos and launched the Goldie Links Society membership! I employ stay-at-home mamas to make these handmade chains, connectors, bangles, and glow-ups. Trying to keep on top of orders, mama makers, training new Goldie Girls, creating courses, all while being a wife and mom was overwhelming to say the least! So much growth is happening, and I’m learning so many valuable lessons along the way!
I also share why I decided to let go of franchising my permanent jewelry biz. I love supporting other women and wanted to give them their own creative outlet without having to run everything by me. The membership creates one-on-one help and provides all the tools and resources they need, allowing me more time to build this amazing community of permanent jewelry enthusiasts.
Join me as I reflect on this whirlwind experience and the exciting new beginnings that lie ahead!
