The ability to convert ideas to things is the secret to outward success.
~Henry Ward Beecher
We all have different ideas on what constitutes success.
For some it relates to money.
For others happiness.
For many of us our health.
To me, Nicole of NValentine, constitutes success. She has mastered a technique that I know I will (in all likelihood) never master. Her beads are divine – small pieces of art in themselves.
Jenifer, of Jenifers Family Jewels, is another team member who I see as successful. She has thrown herself in to growing her business in to a full-time venture. With over 1300 Etsy sales under her belt, she is living her handmade dream.
And Tim, of TJR Jewellery. What can I say… his pieces look like they belong under lights in the window of a big name jewellers….
So what is success for you?
What do you value most personally?
Professionally?

Thank you for the kind words.
To me, success is:
- overcoming problems (technical challenges in jewellery, personal issues in life)
- seeing your children grow and develop into good members of society
- by having good friends and family
Success, to me, is getting up each day with an open mind and a loving heart.
Success to me is being happy with your life.
I'm gobsmacked! What a sweet thing to say! Thank you so much!
So what is success for you? Success for me is doing something you love every day, making someone else smile and living a life you can be proud of. Sappy I know but it's how I try and be successful.
What do you value most personally? Joy, for me a day without a smile is just not right.
Professionally? Practicing business with integrity.
