Why investing in a membership programme could transform your handmade jewellery business
Blog
When you first start your handmade jewellery business, often you are brimming with excitement, enthusiasm and make jewellery for the sheer joy of it. But sooner or later on your jewellery business journey, thoughts turn to making a profit to achieve your goals and really grow your business.
To truly scale and grow your business you DO need to make a solid profit! And that profit is what will give you the freedom to build the business and life that you want and deserve.
However, working out how to get there is easier said than done. There is so much advice out there on how to run a handmade business, and you can spend a long time sifting through it all to work out what advice applies to your business and your specific business goals. Wouldn’t it be great if there was someone you could bounce ideas off, ask questions and generally just get a bit of support to ensure you are moving in the right direction?
1:1 Business Coaching vs Group Coaching or Membership?
Working with a business coach on a 1:1 or Group Mastermind basis can be an incredibly powerful experience that really helps transform your business and yourself.
This type of coaching gives you:
In-depth analysis of your current business to identify the real problems facing your business and providing specific and advanced solutions to fix them
Tailor-made strategies & processes for business growth to suit your business and personal goals
A CEO mindset which is essential in helping you achieve your financial goals, feeling empowered to charge what your jewellery is worth and create a business that works for you and your life
This type of bespoke and intensive coaching works best for jewellery designer-makers that have been in business for a number of years and who are ready for significant growth and increasing profits. Or have specific issues or challenges that need a solution sooner rather than later. This type of coaching is typically higher in cost due to the tailored, personal service the coach provides.
So what is the option if this is not for you just yet? Group coaching through a membership programme can truly be a fantastic way to tap into business support and coaching, and can really help pave the way to a profitable and successful business that lets you live the life you have always wanted to create for yourself.
The good news is that any coaching - 1:1 coaching, Masterminds and Group coaching can completely transform your business and your approach to running it, particularly if you set aside time to really dedicate to taking action.
We currently have a mastermind programme running and are planning another intake for this programme later in 2020. If you are interested in learning more about our Mastermind group coaching then do click the button below and add your email address to be kept informed.
Group Membership Programme for Jewellers
A group membership is a more cost-effective way of getting access to a proven method for scaling and growing your business and getting access to an experienced business coach and the hive mind of the rest of the members.
Group Memberships offer:
Tried and tested methods to solve common business problems and generic roadmaps on how to approach them
Business growth strategies that can be used by a wide range of businesses to achieve success
A clear roadmap or learning plan to achieve success in your industry
A community of like-minded business owners that can provide support and advice
Access to an expert business coach(es) with in-depth industry knowledge and a proven track record of success
It was this need for cost-effective group coaching within the jewellery community that led to the creation of the Jewellers Academy Membership Programme with Jessica Rose. The Jewellers Academy Membership is a year-long programme (and beyond!) where you become part of a community of like-minded jewellers who are all focussed on building their own bespoke route to growth. The Jewellers Academy provides you with a clear business roadmap to success and you decide on the elements to implement to achieve your short-term and long-term business goals.
There is no cookie cutter formula that works for every business - don’t let anyone tell you differently! Your business is unique and what success looks like can be completely different from one person to the next. It is all about working out YOUR goals for YOUR business, and the systems, platforms and actions that will get you there. So you can be dedicated, held accountable, and actually grow your business in a way that works for you. And to have a bit of fun with your fellow jewellers along the way!
The Jewellers Academy Membership Programme
The Jewellers Academy Membership gives you a wealth of industry specific knowledge at your fingertips and there are courses for all jewellers, at all levels, no matter where you are in your jewellery business journey! And instead of doing this all alone (running your own business often from home can get a little lonely!). You become part of a virtual community who support each other, become each other’s biggest cheerleaders and many cases friends in real life!

Why the Jewellers Academy Membership might be perfect for you!
Our members have achieved so much during their time with us and many join us year after year because of the transformative change they have achieved in their business. Just think what you could achieve if you partner a solid strategy and road map for your business with meaningful action and a supportive network of like-minded jewellers?
It is a cost-effective way of getting amazing business support to help you achieve your goals without overwhelm and working 24/7.
Our membership only opens a couple of times a year so that we can lock in and work intensively with our members to help them achieve success. We won’t be opening the doors to membership again until after Christmas so we can work with our members on getting ready for the all important Christmas period and making those sales!
What are the options for Membership?
There are two different types of membership with options to pay either annually or monthly. The table below outlines the differences in our membership options:
