YES! Yes, I do want to do my jewelry business. We already know that I enjoy creating new jewelry. I just had to figure out why I wanted to make a business of it...
Here's the why: I want to find out how far I can go with it. There are just SO many possibilities... I need to kow how far I can go with it.
I've been away from the jewelry biz for about 6 years, so now this is outside my comfort zone. I feel nervous, scared, and excited - all at the same time! So I've GOT to do this!
Check this out: My dad invited me to a jewelry party at his house this past week, hoping to gift me with some inspiration. (I did get to see that the party did well - all with no games, which made me glad since I don't really like the games.) Anyway, his girlfriend wanted to see my jewelry, so I showed her and her friend what I brought. They totally LOVED the jewelry and were figuring out which of their friends would want to buy certain pieces. AND my dad offered to hold a jewelry showing for me at their house! How wonderful!
Check this out, too: My daughter signed me up as a speaker in her Entrepreneurship class, and I was assigned to go before the class this past Thursday. I got to talk about my history as an entrepreneur: Avon, Paris Perfumes, clothing alterations, seamstress, fashion designer, and whatever else I did as a business over the years - some of which I'm sure I've left out!
The students were attentive and asked a lot of great questions. They even showed an interest in the jewelry I passed around the classroom.
I took this opportunity to talk about my strengths and weaknesses, my successes and failures, and to give business advice. Basically, I had the opportunity to INSPIRE people - my main purpose in life, I've noticed.
It was FANTASTIC!!!
