(There is a lot of good that could come out of your new business!)
The numero uno, the big #1, the most important component in your business is YOU.
Your attitude, your expectations, your ability to enjoy the
process, to love what you do and create what you
dream…that is what will determine your long term success.
Honestly, there are a lot of people in this business. But it
changes rapidly. People are not prepared to polish
themselves and not just the stones.
You are your best asset.
Remember all the lessons contained within this book, but remember your biggest lesson
in life is to live and to find happiness. Stop throughout the day and play. Reward
yourself for jobs well done. Take time off and see friends. Discipline yourself to stay
focused. Wander in the woods for creative ideas. Keep your workspace peaceful so
you feel your best in your space.
Commit to yourself and others. Don.t over commit and drown.
You are your best piece of work. Honor it, show it off , take care of it, protect it, sharpen
its knowledge, and don.t be afraid to let it be all it can be to whomever has eyes to see
the beauty.
If people or customers don.t see the value of you, no problem, keep walking.
When customers can.t say enough wonderful things about you, no problem, keep
walking.
Enjoy your new business.

Throughout this book we have made many suggestions of possible contacts you can use
for various areas of your business. Contacts are one of your most important business
assets. Many of the websites have long standing proven track records in business, and
some are rather new. We don.t accept any liability for the performance of the
recommended sites, and we urge you to determine for yourselves your comfort level for
business transactions. That being said, with a little investigation on your part, you will
quickly determine who would be a good “fit” for your business model and interests.
Good luck with your jewelry business!
