We've interviewed thousands of successful founders at Starter Story and asked what advice they would give to entrepreneurs who are just getting started.

Here's the best advice we discovered for starting a jewelry product:

#1: Lizzy Klein, founder of mazi + zo:

We chatted with with Lizzy, founder of mazi + zo ($5K/month). In our interview, Lizzy says:

My most helpful habit is straight-up planning. At the end of each workday, I plot the next day’s activities on an actual calendar. Adding a task with a time block assures there’s enough time for my top priorities. If the day starts looking too tight, I reschedule meetings/workouts/whatever to stay focused on what’s important.

Additionally:

Test on the cheap! You can build a pre-sale page and run inexpensive google ads to see if anyone bites. By “pre-sale”, I mean, anything that requires a customer to commit to your brand tangibly. You might collect email addresses, credit card numbers, time, or something else from them that’s more than a “like”.
