Kickstart: 5 Days to Plan 2026 in Your Jewellery Business (podcast episode)
Kickstart 2026 is a free, five-day challenge designed to help jewellery makers and jewellery business owners begin the year with clarity, confidence and calm. In this week’s episode of the Jewellers Academy podcast, Jess explains how the challenge offers a gentle, structured way to reflect on your vision, set meaningful goals for your jewellery business, create simple action plans, build supportive routines and consider how money will flow into your business - without the overwhelm or pressure.
Listen now on:
How does Kickstart work?
The FREE five day challenge features a video from Jess each day for 5 days, starting on Monday 5th January 2026. It also includes notes and a Canva template to create your own plan through the week.
Day 1 – Get Clear on Your Vision
A short exercise to reconnect with why you do what you do and what you want this year to look like.
✔️ It’s time for a clearer sense of direction and motivation.
Day 2 – Choose Your Focus
You’ll identify a small number of realistic, meaningful business goals.
✔️ Let’s ditch the overwhelm and get clarity on what actually matters.
Day 3 – Create an Action Plan
Turn ideas into steps you can actually follow.
✔️ Leave with a simple plan instead of a head full of ‘shoulds’.
Day 4 – Build a Weekly Business Rhythm
Define how you’ll consistently work on your business, not just in it.
✔️ Feel more organised and in control of your time.
Day 5 – Focus on Revenue
Shift your attention to activities that help bring money into your business.
✔️ End the week knowing exactly what to prioritise next.
Throughout the episode, Jess shares her insights on:
Why gentle action can create stronger results than intense pressure
The importance of revisiting your why before diving into the what
How to set goals that are inspiring and manageable
The value of crafting routines that work for you, not against you
Ways to create space for creativity, life responsibilities, and sustainable business growth
Why revenue-generating activities matter and how they keep your business moving forward
