One of the lessons I have taken from jumping into the pool and opening my jewelry online is that undertaking requires much more than workshop hours. Surely you who are autonomous know very well. Being my own boss implies that besides being a jeweler I have to learn many more things. Jewelery, and management and marketing. Manufacture, manage and sell. From the quarterly VAT declarations and the internationalization of an SME to how the world of fairgrounds works and all the secrets of setting up an online store in Prestashop.

And that's not all! Along the way, in addition, you must cultivate transversal skills for personal growth. And that's where Antònia Farreras from Personal Coaching, my personal coacher, has helped me a lot, thanks to the mentoring program of the CEDEM of the Manresa City Council.

And what does coaching have to do with jewelry? How can Antònia help me so that the MeriTomasa's Treasure Factory takes flight and consolidates itself as a profitable business? Canal Taronja, Manresa television, has dedicated the program "Obert 24 hores" to the figure of coaching, by the hand of my mentor, and you will find me from minute 2:40 to 6:

I don't usually go on television and I was a little nervous. I'll put it on my homework for the next time they interview me: I have to work it with Antònia :-)
