Now is the perfect time to get a solid plan for your new business. You can launch your product successfully and I’ll help you do it. Can you just IMAGINE yourself at this time next year? You could have your business up and running and already be SELLING. How amazing would that feel?
What is it? The Startup Challenge is an 4-day mini course for anyone planning to start a clothing line or THINKING about starting a line. You’ll get simple and quick action steps to get your new business on the quickest & best path to success.
When is it? Tuesday, October 26th through Friday, October 30th
