Today's episode is a LIVE coaching session with Stephanie of Stephanie Davis Designs. She sent me a really good question and I thought it would help all of you who are trying to start a business
After listening to the "6 Things New Clothing Designers Need to Know Before They Start a Business" and hearing the mistake "if you're sewing, you're not selling", Stephanie was feeling a bit worried and she send us a DM on Instagram.
After hearing Stephanie's call for help, I had to talk to her one-on-one in an #AskJane LIVE coaching episode.
Today I talk to Stephanie about...
Have a listen...
"THIS could put me out of business."
That's what I said every time each of the 5 things I share today happened in my business.
Sometimes I really, really wanted to quit.
Like the time my store was burglarized and half the merchandise was stolen.
I almost quit.
I cried like a baby.
It totally sucked.
Crazy things happen, and your business can still thrive.
I think this episode will help you learn some things that will save you a CRAPTON of trouble!

I could fill a book with all the mistakes I made with my fashion business. A War and Peace sized book.
In today's podcast (plus video option), I've narrowed it down to the top 6 startup mistakes to avoid. I'm pretty sure I've made them all.
I've also gathered some honest advice from other designers about what they wish they knew when they started & I'm including screenshots back on the blog.
Today's podcast is going to be a little different. I'll talk about a few different things including Mansplaining, I'll also talk about Chad, Meghan Markle's 40th birthday initiative, bait and switch marketing (sorta)
I'm going to warn you, this is going to be a bit of a rant. If you have little kids around, use your headphones.
I've had multiple experiences of men "mansplaining" this week.
