Tracy Matthews comes from a long line of entrepreneurs and feels like entrepreneurship has always been in her blood. In fact, the idea of working for someone else kinda makes her cringe. But creating something? She can’t get enough!
In 2006, Tracy created a top jewelry line, Tracy Matthews Designs, that became a beloved line among celebs, was featured in several media outlets and that generated nearly 1 million in revenue. Her business was shining brightly — until a drastic change in the 2008 economy nearly shattered everything.
On this episode, Tracy talks about how she built her internationally successful jewelry line, mistakes she made along the way, what she learned about her business and herself during the tough times, what she wishes she knew and why she’s passionate about supporting other jewelry designers with her academy.
