You might need a new approach for 2023. Not just a few tweaks to your business, but a new vibe altogether. Because if you're thinking, "this year will be different" I'm asking you why.

How.

What's really going to change? Did you say the same thing last year? If you continue to do what you did last year - and if a lot of it's real bullsh*t - you'll get the same results.  Today's episode starts with a story. An honest story of struggle that's actually so unnecessary.  You may see yourself in this story like I did. My jaw dropped when I heard it the first time.  You may need to listen twice. ❤️ The Anti-Fail Plan LIVE Experience:  https://fashionbrainacademy.com/plan/

Today's episode features Dessy from Fashion Insider Co. in the UK.  She interviewed me back in March. After listening to it again, I thought that our chat could really help all of you. Everything we talked about is relevant.

Dessy asked me such great questions about what is working for small businesses right now with current world events - inflation, talk of recession, war in Ukraine. 

We talk about and compare what's working for small fashion brands here in the U.S. and in the U.K. and Europe.

What you'll learn...

• why having a great or gorgeous product doesn't mean you'll get sales
• the hard lessons we both learned when we had our own lines
• the reality of selling fashion products wholesale to boutiques in today's world
• the idea of omnichannel to bring different sources of income
• recession-proof your fashion business

And so much more!

It's early December, and I've been talking to a few clients about their Black Friday sales and something is cropping up.

There's a smart way to think about sales...

• What are my sales gonna be?
• What is my revenue?
• What am I planning?
• How much am I promoting?
• How much inventory do I have

All of these are smart questions to ask that will determine how much I can sell. And then there's being obsessed with sales. And it can be a fine line.

Being obsessed with sales can also feel kinda desperate, which is never a good place to be when you're trying to get sales.  This episode will give you ONE simple way to flip what you obsess with starting ASAP.
