There are times in your jewelry business where you might have to take a hard pivot to get what you really want.

That’s where Antoinette Elizabeth found herself last year, and today on Episode #469 of the Thrive by Design podcast, she shares how she navigated that incredibly tough crossroads in her business.

When a huge storm cut off tourism to Antoinette’s location, she knew she had to make a change if her business was going to survive. In this unique episode, Antoinette shares:

The conversation with the TYC coaches that gave her the confidence to try selling online and through wholesale
How she sold out ALL her products within the first two hours of a three-day show and then pivoted the ongoing demand into a crazy pre-order list
Getting her pieces into airports, art galleries and councils even though her process doesn’t follow a specific timeline
The crucial marketing strategies that are driving Antoinette’s online success

And there’s more (you know I love to go deep with my podcast guests) — how Antoinette decided that TYC was right for her (and not “just another coaching program”), and the inner shift that made her decide to turn down her dream retail location after moving online.

We also talk about building her confidence with pricing and negotiating with wholesale customers, and how Antoinette is now showing up in her business every day more authentically, more creatively and with more calm.

With the incredible results Antoinette got from TYC, we knew we had to have more of her in our world.

That’s why she’s going to be one of the student mentors on the program when it kicks off again on April 23rd. Yep — she’s going to be there to support our students who are making the shift towards selling online, getting out of the grind of live events, and figuring out how to thrive by design in their own business.
