when you realize googling has given you some (but not all!) of the answers and decide it’s worth investing in that special person who will help you reach your end goal faster how do you decide who is worthy of your hard earned money? In today's post, I'm sharing six considerations that should be top of mind before you sign on with any coach.
I’ve always known I wanted to own my own business. For so many years though, I never really knew what that meant.
Growing up just north of NYC almost everyone I knew had at least one parent who worked in the city. From an early age, I’d watch my Dad leave the house and walk up the hill to head toward the train station. My Grandfather had a borderline legendary (in my eyes, anyway) career in Manhattan as well, along with many other members of our family so naturally, when it came to start thinking about my own career I knew one thing for certain, I was destined for Manhattan.
I’m so excited to share that today, I’m carrying the One Woman Shop Baton over on Instagram to show you what a day in the life of my solo business is like.
As your business's creator, designer, production manager, bill payer, logistics leader, mover, shaker and primary money maker your to do list is never complete and you are constantly being pulled in a hundred different directions. Planning will help when it comes to prioritizing the tasks that make you money and boost your bottom line.
One of the not-so-fun sides of developing a wholesale/retailer business is that you have to get comfortable with having some awkward and, at times, unpleasant conversations. I'm sharing seven of the most uncomfortable (and common) conversations that you're most likely to have with retail buyers as you grow your business.
In order to run a successful wholesale business you’ve got to speak the same language as your buyers. From Margins to markdowns, there are a lot of phrases and terminology you’ll hear along the way that aren’t typical to everyday conversations. I’ve created this guide with over 50 of the most common terms you’ll hear help you navigate the industry so you always look like a pro, even when you’re feeling like anything but. #FakeItTillYouMakeIt
Having stellar product photos is ESSENTIAL to running a product based business! If you have any kind of online presence AT ALL a good product photo can be the difference between making the sale and having the customer shop elsewhere. Whether you’re selling to stores or directly to customers, buyers rely on your photos when making their purchasing decisions.
Running a product based business as an introvert comes with its own set of hurdles because our normal disposition doesn't always align with how our extroverted clients + customers work.
If you have ever struggled with finding a balance between putting yourself and your business out there and staying true to your introvert roots, then this blog post has your name written all over it.
