It is true. Pursue what you love and people will come along to help or direct you at each step. If you lack business knowledge there are people who will either guide or give you information as to how or where to acquire needed business education.

A word of caution; you do not go into business on a whim. There needs to be strong drive and motivation to do so. Even though you are free to call the shots as you see fit you will have to back up your freedom with wise business and creative decisions.

Two key secrets to having a successful jewelry designing business are strong motivation and energy to emerge yourself into your business. Imagine experiencing the excitement of waking up each day to new adventures. The more knowledge and experience you have the quicker your business will grow because you are not being slowed down by lack of knowledge.

If you truly are an artisan and a dedicated jewelry designer the jewelry business will serve you well. Your work and dedication will let your dreams become a reality.

It is true that when you start to get serious about opening your jewelry business and you check with banks, family members, and other lending institutions you will learn about loan requirements, payback options, business credit cards, banking and much more.

Building a jewelry business takes time. The months and years will click along as you earn money for your financial freedom. There is no get rich quick scheme.

What are the differences between having a job, a career, and being self employed?

• A job is performing an easy talent in an established business and agreeing to a set salary for a short period of time.

• A career is where you have invested in formal training earning a certificate or a degree which is a requirement to work for a large company or a corporation. You agree to a salary, possible bonuses, and special perks and benefits with intentions to work for many years until retirement.

• Self employment is total confidence in your skills talents which can be marketed for an unknown period of time with the potential to make a large sum of income for self or for your own business with employees. Self employment is over when you decide to stop.

This is a personal secret which I would like to share with you. When you have been self employed living a lifestyle doing what you love, you will never quit. You will leave your footprints in the sand.
