Note: I was a co-owner of Mindyana, which puts me and my team in the unique position of understanding the meditation and fashion jewelry industry from A to Z: building market share, creating a brand in this space, leveraging social media to create a tribe of loyal customers, utilizing Facebook and Google advertising to profitably bring in online sales, optimizing the online website (front end and back end), supplier challenges, customer service challenges and beyond. We have successfully sold Mindyana and we are no longer owners of brands in this niche, but our passion lies in helping other businesses in this industry be successful and scale. We have helped 3 other brands in this industry achieve $1M+ annual revenue in less than 3 years since then.
