How to Sell Online

How to Start an Online Boutique (and Why It’s Okay to Be Bad at Something New)


Listen Later

When we were kids, it usually didn’t phase us to try new things—I mean, childhood is a time when we’re always learning, right?  And for the most part, if we don’t get it right, we just dust ourselves off and try again. 

As adults, however, we don’t tend to give ourselves the same kind of grace. We want to get things right the first time. 

That’s why I loved my conversation with Darlene Turner, who was one of the first people who joined my 0-$100K Program. 

In this episode of the podcast, Darlene shares her journey launching and growing her online boutique, CrushOnThis.net—and what she’s learned along the way (including why it’s okay to be bad at something new.)
