If you’re a jewelry hobbyist who…

  • Wants to transition a jewelry making hobby into a legit business but has no idea how to set up legal or financial structure (without losing your assets or getting sued) 
  • Isn’t sure if you’re pricing the right way and profitably (hint: pricing lower is usually NOT a winning strategy and most makers are pricing themselves out of business without even knowing it) 
  • Values your time so much that you’d do anything to avoid the extensive research, googling, and scrolling on social – just to figure out how to reach potential customers. 
  • Wants the confidence to sell outside of your friends and family network – without feeling super cringey or salesy

Hi! I’m Tracy Matthews.

I’m the Chief Visionary Officer of Flourish and Thrive Academy, author of the best-selling book The Desired Brand Effect, and the host of the Thrive by Design podcast with over a million downloads.

Over the past 25 years, I’ve made and sold over $8 million dollars of my own jewelry – I’ve seen and done it all from having a flailing start up in the early days. I had to overcome a lot of hurdles to make my first $50K a year, then scaling up to 6+ then 7+ figures in annual sales. 

When I was just starting out as a jewelry maker, it took me years to get my business started because I had to do extensive research on how to set my business up the right way, how to price for profit, and how to develop, market, and sell my collections. 

Instead of following a proven path, I built my business on trial and error – which took its toll over time. My first jewelry business went out of business because of a few things that I could have done differently in the early days.

I now know exactly how to build a profitable jewelry business from the ground up. A business that is well-structured, with products priced for profit and the confidence to turn your hobby into a real business. Ready to pave the road to financial security and freedom to live your life on your terms?

F&T - Testimonials V2_IrinaZhan

“...I was just a girl with a hobby. Now I have an actual business and I quit my full-time job.”

Irina Zhan,

“The two main results that I have achieved is first, changing my mindset, believing that my jewelry is good, the prices are fair to my work and I'm ready to find my dream client out there. Second, I learn how to price my jewelry correctly. I was selling too cheap for the quality of my designs. I raised my prices between 30-50% and I continue selling without problem.”

Gisela Clemens,
Gisela Clemens Jewelry

So, if you’re tired of living paycheck to paycheck, ready to take back your life and your time, and clueless about how to turn your passion and hobby into your dream jewelry business, this program is the answer you’ve been looking for. 

And as one of my graduates, Quay said, “you wouldn’t think twice about going to college to get yourself some new skills.

In other words, money spent for your self-improvement and the success of your jewelry business is NOT a cost, it’s an investment. 

So invest in yourself and in your business. I’m looking forward to supporting you in your journey!
