Hey and welcome to the sixth episode of the ‘I Want My Life Back Project’ podcast!

I WANT MY LIFE BACK! Podcast

In this episode, I chat to Elizabeth Stiles about how she left her corporate job as a fashion buyer to start her own business.

Elizabeth is a fashion brand consultant who helps people set up their own fashion brands.

She has amazing insights into how to get your fashion brand started with tips on finding a manufacturer, making connections and finding your ‘why’.

Here are some of the highlights of the episode:

Why your business doesn’t have to be something wildly outside your expertise. It could be something directly related to your current career

The most common question asked by people who want to start fashion brands

Why making connections is crucial when trying to find a manufacturer

Why Shopify has such great analysis to help you understand your sales

The first thing to do when you want to start a fashion brand

Why Facebook groups are great for finding potential customers and also discount services for your business
