21 years ago Harriet Kelsall was making jewellery on the side of her day job in IT. Today she’s founder of her highly successful bespoke jewellery company (where she still finds time to design), as well as in-demand creative business mentor and Chairman of the British National Association of Jewellers. She’s been a driving force behind Fairtrade gold, and is the author of an award-winning book on How To Start A Creative Business. I adored talking to Harriet. She’s fun, bright and endlessly positive. She’s also dyslexic, which, she says has been a big advantage in her journey. We talk about: * The early days of her company (and why her first ring had a rabbit on it), and how she found a niche which no-one else was in. * The most important question to ask if you want to launch or grow your creative business * How dyslexia has given her a huge advantage in her life and business * Finding a vision that’s inspiring and realistic * Harriet’s ‘embarrassing’ writing process (my tip: I suspect a lot of creatives will relate to this!) and her unorthodox route to getting her book published.

Fun, fearlessness and founding a joyful business, with Harriet Kelsall 

You might not think of yourself as 'a creative', but if you're an entrepreneur or a business book author that's exactly what you are, insists award-winning jeweller Harriet Kelsall: you're creating something that didn't exist before you imagined it. And as she discovered the hard way, that means finding your own way to do what you do:  "What I need to do is what I do, not what everyone else does. That's the thing that's going to work." The need to find your own way becomes even more acute when, like Harriet, you face a challenge like dyslexia. This is a deep dive into practical creativity as brilliant and as packed with gems as Harriet's own bespoke jewellery.
