THIS IS NOT ANOTHER BORING SEMINAR…
YOU WON’T LOGIN TO OUR PRIVATE VIRTUAL PASS FACEBOOK GROUP JUST TO SIT IN A CHAIR AND BE TALKED AT.
Flourish & Thrive Live is an interactive experience!
We’ll spend 2 entire days laser-focused on doing all the things you've been meaning to get done that will turn your brand into a wildly successful money-making machine.
But there is more to business growth than learning business skills…
There’s also a secret superpower that you will ONLY find at this event…
The Opportunity for Connection
Networking is awkward and boring… that’s why we’re all about connection...
There’s nothing like that “connect with like minded people” experience.
Stop hiding behind your jeweler’s bench…
It’s time to connect with your peers, collaborate on ideas, and make some friends (and accountability partners) along the way.
And I don’t think we need to explain the value of connecting with industry influencers & experts we have coming…
Umm… that would be stating the obvious, right?

Hotseat Exercises and Breakout Exercises
You’re not the first jewelry designer or maker to face the problems you can’t seem to shake. Which is why we host hotseats and breakout sessions so you can share your struggle and get instant solutions, strategies, and advice from people who’ve been in your shoes and KNOW the answer!
Personalized… focused… life-changing… Those are the best ways to describe the type of feedback and insights you will receive while you’re sitting in the hotseat!
YOUR VISION IS CLEAR, YOU'RE JUST FOGGY ON THE DETAILS OF HOW TO GET FROM GOAL SETTING TO GOAL REACHING?
THE DETAILS ARE DIFFERENT, BUT HONESTLY, OUR STORIES ARE THE SAME.
When I first started running my independent jewelry brand, I felt unsupported and unseen.
It’s great to have ideas, but if you don’t have support to execute them, you’re not going to move them forward. And ideas alone weren’t really paying my bills.
I knew I needed to connect with the right people to support and guide me through these challenges...but where do you find them? Thankfully, I got a random email from a friend telling me about an event for entrepreneurs building online businesses - just like me.
Registering for this event was an investment but after connecting with women at all different levels in their businesses, I felt so relieved!
Like I finally wasn’t alone. Plus, the people I met introduced me to buyers, influencers, and publicists. One connection at a time, I slowly built my brand to become highly sought after!
One of the connections I made was with Robin Kramer, the Director of Sales for Dogeared Jewels & Gifts.
We became fast friends after she generously gave me some free sales advice at a trade show and later founded Flourish & Thrive together!
Robin helped Dogeared grow their sales by over 800% in a few short years;
leading them from displays in specialty boutiques to the shelves of major department stores like Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus Direct, Bloomingdale’s, Lord & Taylor, and South Moon Under.
ONCE I REALIZED HOW FAR THESE CONNECTIONS GOT ME, I KNEW THAT THE MORE INVESTED IN CONNECTING WITH LIKE-MINDED PEOPLE, THE MORE MY BUSINESS WOULD GROW.
Flourish & Thrive LIVE is designed to help you create those connections and take action towards your goals.
Think of it like a group mastermind event - because that’s exactly how it started! When I joined my first mastermind, my sales nearly doubled that year. I’ve seen the power it has, and I’m inviting you to discover a taste for yourself.
Growing a successful jewelry brand DOES NOT NEED TO BE AS HARD AS IT SEEMS RIGHT NOW.
But the truth is…
You can have all the theory and training in the world and still not make it if you don’t know what steps to take.
And if you aren’t taking action or “fill in the gaps” between where you are and where you want to be, you’ll always be struggling and coming up short on your goals.
That’s where we come in…..
When I first started out I always said to myself, “I wish there was someone who would teach me everything I needed to know about about starting and running a jewelry design business so I could spend more time being creative and focusing on the things I love.”
WHEN I LOOK BACK AT THE LAST TWO DECADES OF MY CAREER. I’M SO GRATEFUL I GOT HELP WHEN I DID.
IT CHANGED MY LIFE!
I was no longer walking around in the dark without a flashlight trying to find my way. I built a business to nearly 4 million dollars in sales, and then in one year, the whole thing spiraled out. That’s when I got the clarity and vision to see exactly what needed to happen to create a business that grows year after year.
At the end of the day, I really didn't want anyone to have to go through what I went through.
That's why I created Flourish & Thrive Live. It's a place for you to discover new marketing strategies, practice your sales techniques, and be surrounded by incredible energy and determination.
THINK ABOUT YOUR BRAND AND CHECK IN WITH YOURSELF RIGHT NOW…
Are you feeling oversaturated with info and wondering what’s next? Have you been putting what you’re learning into action?
You’ve likely spent time carefully crafting and thinking about your brand, creating pieces, crunching costs...
But how much time have you spent brainstorming with other jewelry geniuses?
How much time have you spent implementing what you’ve learned?
Better yet, how much time have you spent not knowing what the best next step is for your business? Or feeling buried by the tasks you’re avoiding because you just don’t know where to start?
WE’VE DESIGNED EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS EVENT TO HELP YOU TAKE REAL ACTION TO GROW YOUR BUSINESS.
HERE’S A SNEAK PEEK INTO YOUR FLOURISH & THRIVE LIVE EXPERIENCE!

THIS COULD BE YOU AFTER ACCESSING YOUR FLOURISH & THRIVE LIVE VIRTUAL PASS!
It was such a powerful experience.
There was so much momentum, collaboration and information shared. Being able to connect in person was by far the highlight of Flourish & Thrive Live and a big reason why I chose to go.
I was able to meet the buyer for one of my largest wholesale accounts during the panel event (she was a speaker) and it really helped strengthen our relationship. I continue to work closely with her to this day.

Attending the event gave me a renewed energy and focus…
Coming to the F&T Live Event was a great experience in so many ways! I loved meeting and getting to know Tracy & Robin in person — one of the highlights was singing karaoke with Tracy after our Mastermind dinner! It was also great to connect in person with the other designers. The panel of jewelry industry experts and insiders that F&T Live arranged for the designers was fantastic and I learned a great deal from their presentation. Attending the event gave me a renewed energy and focus going into the busy holiday season, and helped me define what my focus was going to be for the remainder of the year and going into next year.
—LAURA TANNER SWINAND, LAURATANNERJEWELRY.COM
It has helped me to see the bigger picture and what I’m capable of.
I loved getting to meet Robin and Tracy in person, and also meeting the other designers who came to the event who I only knew through Facebook. I thought the speakers were inspirational and informative, I especially loved hearing from the retailers who gave specific tips on how they select jewelry for their stores.

IT’S TIME TO SHORTEN YOUR LEARNING CURVE AND GET AMAZING RESULTS JUST LIKE THESE OTHER INDIE JEWELRY BRANDS
An incredible event packed with power, energy, enthusiasm, and experience
This has been an incredibly powerful event. The quality of the speakers is absolutely amazing. I have really learned a lot.
The power, the energy, the enthusiasm, the experience and the tools that they’re giving us so that we can enhance our skills is really helpful and I know this is going to help me take my business to the next level.
—SHARON HERRICK, ILLUMINATEDME.COM
F & T Live paid for itself in the first 30 minutes!
I’ve learned that I need to learn to reign in all the different things that I’ve been doing. F & T Live taught me to really turn my jewelry design into more of a business and get away from the hobbyist kind of work I’ve been doing. I’m making money, but it’s not organized. And I feel like I’ve really learned so much in these last two days and it paid for itself in the first 30 minutes. I’m really blessed to have been able to attend. There’s a wonderful feeling of camaraderie with like-minded people. I came feeling very intimidated, and I feel like I’m a part of this whole community now.
—LINDA BERNAL, THE UPSTAIRS STUDIO
I came in alone, I am leaving deeply connected to makers like me
F & T Live is amazing! I’m sure I’ll be processing this information for weeks to come. It’s been wonderful to meet people because I work alone. I feel very isolated a lot, so it’s been great to connect with people who are makers like me and can relate to a lot of the same stuff that I’m going through. I really loved Sabina’s talk about PR and how she broke down how to write a PR pitch. That’s something I want to try immediately when I get home. The atmosphere is very raw and very vulnerable. People have felt very comfortable to talk about the things that are hard for them.
