When you don’t know where to start, it’s easy to start in the wrong place. 

 

You have an idea. A dream. You want to start a subscription box. But you don’t know how. So you do what everyone does. You google. It. And you find out there are all kinds of people wanting to sell you all kinds of things to help you run your subscription box business. Software, packaging, marketing tools, and more. 

 

In the beginning, before you even get started, you don’t need any of those things. What you need is to Start The Right Way!
