World-renowned jewelry designer and entrepreneur

Show notes: https://www.markgraban.com/mistake75

My guest for Episode #75 of the My Favorite Mistake podcast is Victoria Wieck, a world-renowed jewelry designer, entrepreneur, author, and someone who has spent more than two decades on two different cable TV shopping channels.

Victoria's parents immigrated from South Korea when she was very young and, starting with no money, she worked her way up to selling over 10 million pieces of jewelry over her career. Victoria has a BS in Economics from UCLA and an MBA from USC.

From 1998 until 2017, she was on HSN sharing her unique jewelry designs with millions of viewers with her monthly shows. She took some time off to plan her daughter’s wedding and to write a novel… but she came back to TV, sharing her elegant, affordably priced jewelry on ShopHQ through her weekly shows.

Victoria is hosting a free webinar on June 24th called “How to Make More Money and Work Less.” The registration form can be found at the bottom of her website.

Questions and topics include:

  • Her podcast, “Million Dollar Hobbies
  • Her upcoming book, Living the American Dream
  • Why it was a mistake to give HSN full rights to her social media and online presence
  • The problems with the contract that she signed
  • “Don’t build your castle on somebody else’s land”
  • The film “Our Darkest Hour”
  • “Success is not final; failure is not fatal.” — Winston Churchill
  • Her mission – help create a million millionaires
  • Mistakes entrepreneurs make?
  • Her novel Shattered Sky
