What makes a jewelry designer successful?

Is it talent? Hard work? Luck?

Not even close! If being talented and working hard was all it takes to make it in the jewelry biz… most jewelry designers would be successful.

In-demand designers succeed because they know what to do, ditch, and delegate to scale sales and work on their business.

This is much easier said than done! You might catch yourself thinking, “No one else can do what I do.”

But… that’s just not true m’dear!

Like many designers, I didn’t want to let go of production when my business started taking off.

My mind changed when I got a really big order from a wholesale customer that I just could not fill by myself. I hired a local jewelry arts student to come in and help with production.

After that – there was no turning back.

This an inevitable part of scaling a business. But as your business grows and you find yourself running short on time every day, how exactly do you figure out what to do, ditch, and delegate?

That’s what I’ll be talking about today.
