How a 17-Year-Old Turned $3,000 Into a Thriving Jewelry Business | Lori Kassin, Founder of LK Jewels


Listen Later

Lori Kassin is the founder of LK Jewels, a jewelry company she started when she was 17 years old with a $3,000 initial investment from her father. Now, 13 years and 3 locations later, LK Jewels is a thriving business, with its newest location in Manhattan’s Upper East Side.

In this episode, Lori and I dive into her journey – starting with going door-to-door and not making money for the first 8 months.

We discuss the challenges of building a business from the ground up, the importance of personality in salesmanship, and Lori shares her advice for entrepreneurs who aspire to build a career out of their dreams.
