From Short Term Plan to Celebrating Ten Years In Business: Carrie Elizabeth's Heart-Led Founder Journey
Update: 2025-01-13
Description
Even when the plan is just to match your previous salary - amazing things can happen! In this episode I speak to Carrie Brice, the founder of Carrie Elizabeth Jewellery, about her journey from being a buyer for high street retailers to establishing her own demi-fine jewellery brand. Carrie shares her experiences growing up in a family of entrepreneurs, the influence of her parents' work ethic, and the challenges and triumphs in founding and growing her business. We discuss how she funded her first collection, the importance of knowing your USP, and how she maintains a meaningful connection with her customers. Carrie also reveals how motherhood has affected her approach to business and her plans for celebrating the brand's upcoming 10-year anniversary. This episode is a deep dive into how passion, authenticity, and a willingness to learn and adapt can lead to business success from a heart-led founder who started with one clear, short-term goal, and grew from there.
