Working with Flourish & Thrive Academy has been like working on a Masters program for my business, but with a support system that is essential for any studio artist that works in solitude.

Before I found Tracy and Flourish and Thrive I was a jewelry designer with a lot of potential but no direction. I knew where I wanted to go but had no idea how to get there. With Tracy’s guidance and help from our amazing community, I’ve hit goals I never thought possible and have the confidence and tools to continue to build and grow my business. Tracy’s dream is to help designers like myself realize our dreams and without her help, I wouldn’t be where I am today.

Tracy has completely changed the way I run my business and how I perceive myself as a business owner. She doesn't just talk the talk - she is passionate about helping other business owners succeed with her focus on specific activities that bring in sales. Her infectious enthusiasm and emphasis on mindset have motivated me to shift from working in my business to working on my business. She has been so much more than an inspiration to me – she has helped me to create a tangible vision for my company’s future, where I’m running my business full-time, instead of just dreaming about it.
