ABOUT ME
My journey in Jewellery Appraising began with the assumption that my mere presence in the field would attract clients. However, I quickly realized the importance of tailoring my message to different audiences and focusing on specific client groups rather than trying to serve everyone.
Despite initial struggles and a reluctance to admit uncertainty, I eventually recognised the need for outside guidance.
Embracing the support of a coach allowed me to deepen my understanding of my business, refine my niche, target my ideal clients, streamline processes, and stay true to my business vision. Drawing on my background in business and expertise as a gemmologist, diamond grader, and appraiser, I honed my skills and gained insights to grow my business successfully over 22 years.
Recently, I made the decision to retire from appraising to shift my focus towards assisting others in the industry, sharing my experiences and knowledge to support their growth and development.
Throughout my journey, I learned the importance of balancing business pursuits with family commitments and personal well-being. My story underscores the significance of adaptability, continuous learning, and the value of seeking guidance when navigating the complexities of entrepreneurship.
