EP10: 7 Years in Business. The Real Reasons My Jewelry Brand Survived What Most Entrepreneurs Don't

Have a question? Want to suggest a topic? Send me a message! Most businesses don't make it to year five. I'm on year seven, and honestly? I get why so many people give up before they get here. In this episode, I'm breaking down the five things that have actually kept my jewelry business alive through every rollercoaster year...the mindset shifts, the hard boundaries I had to set with comparison and social media, and the one trait every successful entrepreneur needs that most "normal" people would call completely unhinged. This isn't your typical productivity advice. It's the real, slightly delusional truth about what it takes to build something that lasts.

Have a question? Want to suggest a topic? Send me a message! Your social media following could disappear tomorrow...and there's nothing you could do about it. That's the uncomfortable truth behind this week's episode, and it's exactly why your email list might be the most underrated asset in your business. I'm breaking down why an email list is the one piece of your business you truly own , which email service provider I swear by (and why), and five ridiculously simple ways to start growing your list today. No fancy funnel required. One of my favorites involves nothing but a pen, a clipboard, and a few minutes at your next market or pop-up.

EP7: Unhinged Things I Did To Grow My Six Figure Business Part 2

Have a question? Want to suggest a topic? Send me a message! Picking up right where we left off...this episode gets real. From a total burnout crash that shut everything down for three months, to a scrappy comeback that made $40,000 in six weeks flat, to a solo-turned-sentimental trip to Italy that accidentally sparked my best-selling collection ever... 2023 and 2024 were a lot. I'm telling you about the $3,000 risk that didn't pay off right away (but eventually did), the Black Friday move that flopped so hard I almost cried, and the five-year business milestone I almost didn't celebrate because everything else was falling apart. Spoiler: not giving up is the whole point. If you've ever felt like you're failing and winning at the same time, this one's for you, besties. Press play.

EP4: Fail On Purpose, Thank Me Later: Playing It Safe Is Sabotaging Your Business Growth

Have a question? Want to suggest a topic? Send me a message! This week I’m getting into something that hit me mid-workout (literally). I’ve been training to failure at the gym lately which means I am pushing weight until my muscles physically can’t do another rep. It made me realize we need to be doing the exact same thing in our businesses. We are so afraid to fail or feel uncomfortable that we don’t even give ourselves the chance to try. But here’s the thing: your strength in the gym AND in your business is always on the other side of failure. It’s not a maybe. It’s a guarantee. In this episode I’m breaking down: • Why training to failure builds muscle (and why your business works the exact same way) • Why we’re so scared to push ourselves past our limits • How to reframe failure as the goal instead of the thing you’re avoiding • Why just having the opportunity to fail is a blessing most people never even give themselves This one’s short and sweet, but it might just change how you look at your next “failure.” Fail on purpose this week and let me know how it goes. 💕 CONNECT WITH CHELSEA LEIGH ON SOCIALS Instagram: @HeyChelseaLeigh Instagram: @ChelseaLeighJewelry Substack: @BeautifullyConsumed LINKS My ShopMy @ChelseaLeigh Shop Chelsea Leigh Jewelry here Get your first month FREE with ManyChat Pro ...............................
