Are rising metal costs driving your profits into the ground?  Are you tired of losing sales to customers shocked at your new prices? 

 In 2008, I had to close my business because expenses were rising faster than I could adapt.  So, when I started my second Jewelry business - I developed strategies to prepare myself in case it happened again.

In today’s episode - I share what you can do in your business to not only survive but thrive in today’s highly inflated precious metals market. 

In this episode, we go over:

 

  • [3:41] How 2008 prepared me for today

  • [5:30] The economic reasons why precious metals price spike

  • [11:40] Ways to adjust your prices to account for the rising cost of materials
