We’re back with Angelique from Peach Lane Permanent Jewelry! This time, she’s here to spill the beans on everything from hiring and expanding your team. Angelique recently took the leap and hired her first employees to help with pop-ups and support her brick-and-mortar space. Letting her free up time and, more importantly, focus on what she loves.
From her tips on spotting the right vibe to crafting the perfect interview questions, Angelique dives deep into what it takes to build a team that fits your vision. She’s all about setting clear expectations, so every new hire knows exactly what they’re signing up for (spoiler: it’s not all just sparkly chains!).
We also break down the big decision of choosing between a 1099 contractor and a W2 employee. Angelique shares her own experience with figuring out payroll and benefits, and why knowing the difference matters for taxes, scheduling, and day-to-day operations. Plus, she’s got pro advice on checking in with labor laws and why chatting with a labor attorney is always a smart move if you are unsure.
Angelique doesn’t hold back on sharing the behind-the-scenes nitty-gritty, from finding a payroll company to calculating costs and learning to let go of some control. Thinking about hiring? Angelique’s journey might just be the nudge you need. Because if you’re already dreaming about growing your team, it’s probably time to make it happen!
