429 - She went from penniless to $500 Million: Tom interviews Victoria Wieck

<p>Victoria Wieck is a highly successful entrepreneur. She went from a penniless immigrant to generating over $500 million dollars in retail sales by turning her passion for jewelry design into profits. She did go to the corporate world, which is kind of cussing on this show, but she got smart and she got out of it and she started a small company so she can spend more time with her family and not be commuting all the time. But she had no money, no mentors and no inside connections.</p> <p><strong>Screw The Commute Podcast Show Notes Episode 429</strong></p> <p><strong>How To Automate Your Business</strong> - <a href= "https://screwthecommute.com/automatefree/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">https://screwthecommute.com/automatefree/</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.IMTCVA.org" target="_blank" rel= "noopener"><img class="alignnone" src= "https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/show/123691/imtc_logo.png" alt= "entrepreneurship distance learning school, home based business, lifestyle business" width="402" height="136" /></a></p> <p><strong>Internet Marketing Training Center</strong> - <a href= "https://imtcva.org/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">https://imtcva.org/</a></p> <p><strong>Higher Education Webinar</strong> – <a href= "https://screwthecommute.com/webinars" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">https://screwthecommute.com/webinars</a></p> <p><strong>See Tom's Stuff</strong> – <a href= "https://linktr.ee/antionandassociates" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">https://linktr.ee/antionandassociates</a></p> <p>04:07 Tom's introduction to Victoria Wieck</p> <p>10:56 Mother was a heavy influence and Dad was very forward thinking</p> <p>13:44 How the jewelry industry evolved</p> <p>21:54 Plan for obstacles and you'll never be disappointed</p> <p>36:46 Sponsor message</p> <p>40:07 A typical day for Victoria</p> <p>46:16 Never give up hope no matter what happens to you</p> <h2>Entrepreneurial Resources Mentioned in This Podcast</h2> <p><strong>Higher Education Webinar</strong> - <a href= "https://screwthecommute.com/webinars" targe
