Today I am joined by Sara Burks, our Director of Partnerships and Education, and we are going to walk you through the Boutique Boss Planner. It’s the only planner built for boutique owners, by boutique owners. In this episode, we will be sharing how you can maximize the planner, as well as all of the new features you can expect in 2022.
This year, the planner is going to be bigger and better than ever, as we have used your feedback to guide how we upgrade it. Listen in as we discuss the benefit of writing your goals down, how to track your finances, and the importance of having checklists to ensure you never miss a step.

The boutiques that consistently sell out aren’t going live for attention. They’re going live with a plan.
