386. Building a Creative Business on Your Terms with Vana Chupp of Vana Chupp Studio

In this Small Biz Founders episode, we’re talking to Vana Chupp, the founder and CEO of Vana Chupp Studio and a Product Boss masterminder! Vana Chupp Studio is a lifestyle boutique brand that specializes in custom boutique jewelry made from customers’ photographs and special moments that can be passed down for generations to come.

In this conversation, Vana dives into:

• How she grew her business from an Etsy shop to a namesake business,
• building a business that is personally fulfilling, and
• knowing when to hire—and when to fire—in your business.

Building a team is one of the hardest things to do as an entrepreneur, but also one of the most important for scaling your business. Vana lays it all out in an honest and vulnerable way that is going to give anyone on the fence about hiring, or nervous about firing, the confidence they need to move forward.
