I had my first 10K month outside of the holiday season!

"Since taking the program, my business has grown significantly. I went from making $13,730 / year to $75,000 /year in just three years. The sales from my business allowed me to support my husband when he wanted to quit his job and go back to school. The coaching, strategy, and accountability have helped me stretch beyond my comfort zone. May and June were two of my best months in history, and I sold $10K two months in a row! The investment in this program is a game-changer!

Hi! My name is
Tracy Matthews

I teach jewelry business owners like you to grow wildly successful jewelry brands. For 10 years, I’ve helped over 9000+ independent jewelry makers and designers go from inconsistent sales and barely making a profit...to consistently reaching their sales goals and building sustainable, profitable jewelry businesses.

In this program, I take the guesswork out of growing your jewelry business to meet your specific goals.

The reason it works is my proven framework that helps identify where you need to focus called – The DESIRED BRAND EFFECT. The result? A business with a marketing and sales system that leaves you feeling more confident, clear, and wealthy because you’re focused on the parts of your business that matter.

When your jewelry business is built without a strong brand foundation, you’ll experience slow sales, price resistance, low social media engagement, and little to no traffic on your website. It’s a LOT!

So if you’re thinking that…

Growing a jewelry business feels so overwhelming.
Maybe I’m not cut out for this?

quotemark1

How do I turn compliments into sales and reach customers outside of my current friends and family network?

How do I find the time to grow my dream business, be there for my kids, and work my job (because I can’t quit just yet)?

quotemark1

The jewelry market is so saturated! Will I ever be able to make a real living with all of the competition?

I’ve teamed up with the country’s best, most established experts to put together my one-of-a-kind flagship course…

WHAT IS IT?

Laying the Foundation (aka LTF) is our signature 12 Week virtual program that’s designed to help you build desire and demand for your jewelry brand by attracting the right exposure and clients.

WHO’S IT FOR?

LTF is for independent jewelry designers and makers who desire to have a business that generates 5- or 6-figures in revenue per year… regardless of if you work it full-time or part-time.

WHERE DOES IT HAPPEN?

Laying the Foundation is delivered 100% online in a virtual classroom.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Each Module is delivered to you on a weekly basis. We deliver the course materials via video, audio, worksheets, tools, templates, checklists, cheat sheets, and a private Facebook community. You can implement the action items on your own time and we’ve built in implementation weeks to support you in taking action while you move through the program - because this is what will get you results. How quickly you start getting results depends on how quickly you implement the action items.

WHEN DOES IT START
AND END?

You will have immediate access to the program, so you can get started as soon as you enroll. You have lifetime access and can complete the modules on your own time and at your own pace.

WHAT KIND OF SUPPORT IS OFFERED?

When you enroll, you’ll be invited to join our private Diamond Insiders Facebook Community where you can ask questions from our Coaches and join monthly live trainings. It’s a supportive, and tight-knit community, and our DI coaches are actively answering questions and offering support so we encourage you to join and engage.

WHY DOES IT EXIST?

We created Laying the Foundation because there’s a lot of confusion and misinformation out there about how to grow your sales in a profitable and consistent way. Most creative types are (if we’re being honest) totally clueless about where to start. This program exists so that more creatives can make a living doing what they love and putting more beauty out into the world. And so designers like you don’t have to feel trapped running a business that isn’t bringing in the kind of sales they want.

PRAISE FROM OUR STUDENTS

"Laying the Foundation helped me get noticed by the French Department Store, Le Bon Marche. I met the NBC producers at my kiosk, and they invited me to be on the Today Show during the Olympics."

Marion Gaude

"Using the collection launch and email marketing strategy inside of LTF, I had my first best collection launch ever and sold $10K in two days and $12K that week."

And this is all thanks to my proprietary
Desired Brand Effect™

This framework is at the core of all our programs, and here’s why...

In today’s saturated jewelry market, it’s the jewelry brands that “stand out” by building desire and demand for their jewelry that do well.

They connect with their audience on an emotional level and understand the REAL reasons their DREAM clients buy jewelry from them.

Because they have a brand story and a brand journey that puts their customers first, they easily attract and collect true fans who buy from them every season.

DBE Audience
Momentum Img

When they get their branding right, marketing almost takes care of itself. Selling becomes fun. And dream customers flock to their brand.

We teach you the Sharing Economy Method, which is about getting sales in a way that’s fun and natural (instead of sleazy and forced).

And once you delve into how the Desired Brand Effect™ Methodology works, you’ll find yourself back in the driver’s seat of your business, instead of letting fear or “the economy” run the show.

Are YOU ready to do the same for your business?

I sold $5200 in the first 30 minutes of my collection drop!

"A few years ago, I would have never imagined my jewelry hobby would become a significant income for my family. Laying the Foundation and Flourish & Thrive have helped me make 5-figure months regularly and allowed me to work from home to raise my kids.
The marketing strategies I learned set me up for high sales months. When I released my new collection to my social followers, I sold $5,200 in the first 30 minutes. I was beside myself because that month was my best month, closing at $12,000 in sales. That is, until the next month, when my sales surpassed the previous month, and I sold $19,000. I am so grateful that I can be a good mom and also contribute to my household."
- Erin Kandoll of Twisted Ginger Jewelry

Imagine a Future Where Everything You Do In Your Business Moves You Closer to Creating Financial Security, Time-Freedom, and Real Purpose.

(yep, even that dream of starting a family, quitting your soul-sucking day job, or being an example to your kids of what’s possible).

Hi! My name is Tracy Matthews

I’M THE CO-FOUNDER OF
FLOURISH + THRIVE.

Do you feel like you’re alone on an emotional and financial roller coaster? You’re not alone!

Here’s a bit about my own journey...

I was completely overwhelmed and stressed out most of the time because I literally had ZERO clue about running a business (and I was too proud to ask for help). I would work myself to exhaustion… and still didn’t have much to show for it.

I felt emotionally unsupported. In fact, one day I came home and my (now ex) husband told me “you have to get a real job”. But there was no way in HELL I was going back to my soul-sucking retail job.

I was so afraid of rejection that I avoided active selling like most people avoid Times Square on a hot summer day (so hot, smelly, and so many people).

I didn’t understand what a profit and loss statement was or a balance sheet was and was too proud to ask someone to teach me…so I just ignored my finances.

I’d sell a $100 necklace for $70 just so I could make a sale. The result was painful cash flow issues and my visa bill kept growing… both of which limited how fast I could grow.

Despite it all, I knew I had what it took and I was passionate AF about making jewelry. That kept a fire under my bootay to keep on trucking even though I didn’t have the answers...and it was HARD.

I had many sleepless, tear-filled nights, fighting to make things work. I eventually did, but not without paying a heavy emotional cost.

WY4_0193

My first business was built like a house of cards. It wasn’t set up to handle any kind of financial setbacks, let alone survive major changes in the economy.

When the Great Recession (or “GFC”) hit in 2008, my business went from earning close to $1 million in net sales the previous year to being COMPLETELY wiped out… all in the space of a single month.

That led to me having to make one of the most difficult decisions of my life: to either fight for what I’d fought so hard to build OR close the doors on my business. After a lot of thought (and tears), I chose the latter and was forced to file for bankruptcy.

The massive emotional devastation and financial stress caused some serious health problems. I lost 25 pounds, I picked up the habit of smoking a pack of Marbarlo Lights a day (and I never smoked!) and my hair started falling out in chunks! On top of that, I developed a series of stress-induced conditions, including a thyroid issue. 😭

DON’T GET ME WRONG, IT HASN’T BEEN ALL BAD. IN FACT, ALL OF THE UPS AND DOWNS I’VE BEEN THROUGH HAVE TAUGHT ME HOW TO BE A BADASS.

Despite all of the self-doubt, setbacks, and downright failures, I’ve had some pretty AWESOME successes...

  • I’ve sold over $8 million dollars worth of jewelry during the course of my career.
  • My collections have been sold in over 350 of the best specialty and retail stores around the world, including Anthropologie, Sundance Catalog, Bloomingdales, and Harvey Nichols.
  • Celebrities like Charlize Theron, Jessica Alba, Orlando Bloom, and Michelle Williams have all been spotted buying and wearing my jewelry.
  • Revlon recently commissioned me to design a 20th anniversary gift for Halle Berry.
  • I landed a segment on QVC where I reached a mass audience and sold my jewelry live on TV (twice).
  • When I built my second jewelry business, I applied the lessons I learned from the first time around and created the Desired Brand Effect™. Now, I have a low-maintenance, very part-time business that brings in multiple 6-figures in profit (not just revenue)... with just me behind the wheel.
  • Nearly 48 media outlets, TV shows, movies, and magazines have repeatedly featured my jewelry and story over the years, including InStyle, Lucky, The Today Show, and Entrepreneur.

Blythe doubled her average order value and increased her IG following by over 40%.

"Since joining LTF in February of this year, I have been able to streamline my vision for my business, Monarch and Magpie Designs. The results are in the numbers: by mid-July, I had surpassed my TOTAL sales from the previous year! My average order value has nearly doubled this summer (without raising my prices!) And my IG followers have increased by over 40%."

"My most significant achievements since joining Flourish and Thrive Academy (FTA) are that I have experienced faster progress in my business in less than a year than I achieved in six years without any direction, guidance, or community support.

Previously, I was starting everything from scratch and trying to figure it all out on my own. However, now I have accountability partners, access to all the essential information, and worksheets to implement strategies that help me grow my business and personal life more efficiently and rapidly. I am now more intentional in how I set up my stall at markets."

Laying The Foundation ROCKS. It’s a GAME CHANGER.

But don’t take just my word for it. Here are what more of our LTF students have to say about their experience in the program...

Meet Paige and Audrey.

Paige doubled her sales while raising a young child!

Get Lassoed

"I am proud to say that I more than doubled my sales last year, all while balancing becoming a new mom and working only a few days a week. Although most of my sales come from my brick-and-mortar location, I also experienced a 35% increase in online sales.

Joining FTA last year was a game-changer for me. I was struggling with having too much to do and very little time to work. I wasn't sure what to focus on, and everything seemed like a top priority. FTA helped me prioritize and focus on what really mattered, and I am grateful for that."

- Paige Barbee

My expectations were blown out of the water!

Audrey Allman headshot (1)
Laying the Foundation helped me turn my hobby into a thriving business! I learned so much about how to become a real business owner from email list building, collection drops, and marketing my brand. Not only have my sales grown, my email list grew by 150 new subscribers, and my return customer rate is up 49%. My biggest hesitation in joining the program was the time commitment, yet the program has helped me organize my time so much better so I'm getting 3x more done than I was before.

WHAT OUR SUCCESSFUL STUDENTS ARE SAYING…

Sabrina Nussbaumer

"Taking LTF allowed me to gain the proper foundation a business needs to actually grow and function.

Some of the wins I’ve experienced include, picking up wholesalers, consignment sales, social media features, podcast features, and even a local magazine article.

Tracy taught me that when you put in the work and show up in your business momentum is fully accomplishable.

Laying The Foundation will teach you how to take responsibility and ownership throughout all your business involvements. I look forward to seeing my business continue to grow!"

- Sabrina Nussbaumer
Sydney Kay

"I've already doubled my sales since last year, and the knowledge I'm learning on how to retain customers is gold. With summer markets starting to wind down, I am REALLY glad I signed up for Laying the Foundation.”

- SYDNEY KAY

LISTEN TO MORE STORIES OF SUCCESS FROM OUR GRADUATES

"LTF actually was one of the best things I have done, because if it wasn't for Tracy, Robin, and all the great coaches they have and the tools they have, I wouldn't be here today."

Maruja Leanos

"I think it really covers your life. I would recommend Laying the Foundation to somebody who is looking to learn more about what they should be doing when they are setting up a business the proper way, to learn how to succeed instead of setting yourself up for failure.

Estelle Vernon

"Early on, I realized that your artistry or your unique skillset is not enough to set you apart in a marketplace that is so competitive. I have been revisiting this program time over time again in order to course correct and go to where it is that I want to go."

Who I Created “Laying the Foundation” For

This program has worked successfully for high volume designers, OOAK/handmade designers, luxury designers, “parent-preneurs”, and designers with full-time jobs. It’s worked for designers who are new to business, and industry veterans who have needed to refresh their business skills in today’s economy.

 

It’s perfectly suited for brands that are serious about growing a profitable business, willing to roll up their sleeves and do the work, and who realize that there is no “easy button” you can push to magically make a successful business materialize.

 

The program is perfectly-paced to help you speed up your results and take time to work ON your business instead of just IN your business. 

 

At the end, you’ll be in control of your business and feel a huge sense of accomplishment knowing that you’re on the right track for financial security and stability as an artist. You’ll know exactly how to consistently get new and repeat buyers for your jewelry brand.

 

This program is perfect for people who...

  • Want to launch and grow a real business that makes consistent sales and earns a profit.
  • Are feeling completely overwhelmed, unfocused, and often ask themselves “where do I start” or “what makes sense to do next."
  • Haven’t cracked the code to earning consistent sales of 4 to 5 figures in monthly revenue (and 6 figures annually) yet are ambitious enough to make it happen.
  • Value their time (and themselves) enough to know that investing and implementing a proven system (instead of spinning their wheels) will help them reach their goals more quickly.
  • Want to regain confidence and clarity by taking the right actions.
  • Are coachable and love learning and implementing strategies that speed up their results.
  • Take responsibility for their success, crave accountability, and want a kick in the pants to move in the right direction.
  • Are at a crossroads and have to make their business work with a solid plan so they can easily reach their goals.

This program is not for people who...

  • Are only interested in having a jewelry hobby and have no plan of selling their designs.
  • Have mastered the business and have a crystal clear direction of where they are going and the confidence to do it alone.
  • Aren’t open to learning new ways to work and say things like: “that won’t work for me” or “I already know that”
  • Aren’t willing to invest in their business and prefer spending their time doing research, Googling or doing the same things over and over while getting the same lackluster results.
  • Are consistently making 5 or 6 figures in sales every month and experiencing profit growth every year.
  • Don’t take full responsibility for their results and blame others when things don’t go their way.

Investing in Your Business Might Feel Scary...I Get It...

Check out this story from Alyssa who was also scared to invest. She's made her investment back many times over.

If You Feel or Even KNOW Laying The Foundation Is What Your Business Needs Right Now, But Something Is Stopping You, Consider This...

From time to time, all of us (including me) need a little kick-in-the-pants so we can realize that our fears are imaginary, but the future we desire doesn’t have to be. All we have to do is take NEW actions and follow a proven path.

There are two primary fears that can stop you from doing what you know you need to do.

The first fear is the fear that the program won’t work. That fear comes from the natural skepticism we have that prevents people from taking advantage of us. 

If this was a new program with no success stories, it would be a valid fear.  However, LTF has been around since 2012 because IT WORKS, and we’ve had thousands of successful students who see a 35 - 50% increase in their sales after taking it (and those numbers grow year by year beyond that)

So let’s talk about the second fear that can prevent you from investing into the very solution you’ve been searching for

I’m talking about the paralyzing fear that even if the program works, you won’t do the work (or that it won’t work for you). That can either be an irrational fear or a fear based on past experiences. That is exactly why we include 4 MONTHS ACCESS to DIAMOND INSIDERS along with Laying the Foundation and why we focus on developing a success mindset in the introductory module of the program.

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines.

Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails.

Explore. Dream. Discover.”

- MARK TWAIN -

The choice is yours – who do you want to become?

 

Do you want to keep trying to get your jewelry brand off the ground?

Do you want another year to pass where your “passion project” is in the same spot it was last year…

Having to tell yourself as well as friends and family that things will somehow fix themselves? That people will magically discover you one day and flood you with sales?

Or, do you want to take responsibility and control of your jewelry brand?

Following a proven, step-by-step system that has worked for hundreds and hundreds of very successful jewelry brands before you?

If you want to make this year the year your jewelry brand finally takes off, click the button below, select your payment options – and let’s make it happen.

I’m counting on you.

“I have this community behind me that has truly given me more confidence than I’ve ever expected to get. It’s been worth the cost and I made a whole lot more money [this year] than I did last year without doing any shows!”

- Denise Kubler

gisela clemens

"After changing my mindset, I learned how to price my jewelry correctly. I was selling too cheap for the quality of my designs. I raised my prices between 30 and 50% and I continue selling without problem.”
