00:07.1: Let's talk about what jobs or where we see most people come from in boutique land to start their boutique.

1:01.8: First and foremost, it's stay at home moms, it's mothers, it's women, people with uteruses that have had children that want to start a business. 

1:49.2: You're going to need support with your business and with your child or children. The more kids you have, I think the harder it's going to be. 

2:03.1: If you have kids and you're really good at managing your time and you feel like you have these pockets of time to work, then yeah, having a boutique is going to be awesome for you.

2:31.6: Now, the one downside about being a stay at home parent and starting this business is summer. 

3:29.5: If you have the time and you have good skills to manage lots of things, like as most stay at home parents do, then having a boutique is a great business for you.

3:45.1: Believe it or not, nursing and teaching, listen, you're in a power position in those places. You're in a position of power and you're dealing with people, whether it's children or adults. That is what you're going to have to do when you have a boutique business.

5:04.4: The other two places we most often see boutique owners come from are the world of sales or finance. 

5:39.6: You're going to have to take pictures of yourself. In these items, using these items, videos, all of that stuff is going to be so important to your success. And so just know that you're going to have to kind of get over using yourself, using your voice, your image to sell.

6:13.3: If you are good at selling, if you can put yourself out there, if you can talk to anyone, and if you have style that people comment on all the time and say, I want to dress like you, or where did you get that? You could be really good at having a boutique.
