3 Takeaways: Lessons from Scaling a Mega Boutique
- Don’t jump in. Do our research first. Who is your target market, what is the general aesthetic of your boutique, what will your website look like, etc.
- Before you hire, learn, and research the skills the new hire will perform.
- People are supportive of small business owners because they can relate to you and they can feel good about supporting someone they actually know.
