Boost Your Boutique With Emily Benson

You can be, do and have whatever you want. But doubt is an epidemic amongst boutique owners. They are caught up in thinking negatively, worried about money and trying do to it all themselves. In this episode I’m going to teach you the ways in which I have banished my self doubt and become unstoppable. 1. Boost your confidence 2. Relax 3. Begin to Love Yourself. Deeply, truly look in the mirror and love who you are. And try tapping/EFT.

How appropriate on "Work Day"/Labor Day around the world, my friend Christine McAlister's book is published all about how to get OUT of your JOB!!! Do you dread getting up every day to just go through the motions again? Do you get a knot in your stomach every time you approach your office or work building? Do you hate it when your boss breathes down your neck? Yeah, I did too. I remember when I would listen to meditation tracks in a yellow cab (remember those?) crosstown on my way to my job at Club Monaco in NYC. I dreaded dealing with my boss who was not fun to work for... I know now that my light was BRIGHT and probably scared her. But I needed my daily meditation practice to be able to show up and get the job done with my amazing co-workers who were full of joy. During my time there is when I started making my real plans to start The Fashion Truck and get out of corporate. I would sketch during meetings and dream of what it felt like to not have a boss. 7 years later, I live a life that most people d

Do you think there's a quick fix for your boutique business? So many women do!!! In this episode I'm going to explain why thinking there's a quick fix can be a tough pill to swallow and how to have a quantum leap in your mindset around it. 1. Think taking a course, reading a book or even listening to this podcast is enough to change your business? It's not! You have to implement the steps and advice to actually see results. You need to do what's required to grow a sustainable business! 2. Think throwing money at tangible places will help? Nope... Facebook Ads, Inventory... most likely these things also take time and a plan to get a real return on the money you put towards them. I spent thousands in FB Ad testing before I could actually get a return on them! So how do you fix this mindset issue? 1. Do the mindset work! Find your patterns, change them! Realize you can create your own reality and that avoiding the mindset work only creates a deeper issue. 2. Plan to do the actual work! Make a schedule, set t

We see the same questions pop up all the time in The Fashion Truck Tribe. I figured I'd answer them here on the Podcast today! And of course, I do more than just answer the questions... I go deeper into the theory and full explanation with resources you can use as well! Here's what I covered: 1. How much inventory should I buy when you first start out? Do I need a budget? 2. What’s a realistic sales goal for your first month in business? 3. Do I need a logo? 4. What’s the deal with pre-orders?

I absolutely love this woman! Being someone who doesn’t have kids, I’m ALWAYS in admiration of women who manage to run a business and have a healthy family life. Valerie Langley is that woman. First off, she’s super calm (at least when I see her!) AND she has 4 kids under 10! I met Valerie at a retreat last year and I’ve seen as a Spiritual Teacher and Coach how wonderfully she combines faith, family and being a mom. In this episode we talk about balancing it all and Valerie gives you some great tips and resources to help you stay on track. This episode is going to make you FEEL GOOD!!

I’m wrapping up this powerful 3 part series on PAYING YOURSELF!!! If you haven’t heard it yet, I’m over boutique owners saying they can’t pay themselves because they need to prioritize paying for other things. Most likely, you aren’t managing your margins or expenses appropriately— that’s the first place to check in with yourself. If you go longer than 6 months without paying yourself, most likely, you never will and your boutique will fall flat because you aren’t managing your money correctly. In this episode I focus on teaching you how to actually start paying yourself: 1. Focus on your NET profit. Keep margins high, watch expenses closely. 2. Find an amazing and supportive accountant who understands you and your goals. They don’t make you feel bad about money or scared of the IRS. 3. If you are a sole proprietor or a single member LLC, simply write yourself a check from the business account, and deposit it into your personal account as the owner’s draw. If you are a corporation, partnership LLC, or have em

I'm going DEEPER with this whole 'YOU'VE GOT TO PAY YOURSELF" idea this week. Because really guys, you HAVE to start taking a salary from your boutique business... and this week I'm going to tell you WHY you MUST pay yourself! I feel like I'm trying to convince boutique-land to adjust from a very old martyrdom mindset, to a "money flows in and out of my business with ease and grace" mindset! Here's my top 3 reasons why you really MUST start paying yourself: 1. We have to evolve into a modern relationship with money! Te internet has changed everything but our ideas haven't- we still get caught up in the 'work hard, make money' mentality. Let's get excited to unplug from the old and plug into the new concept of money! 2. Most flows as energy-- when you don't pay yourself, you won't be able to spend it and they cycle of in/out energy flow gets blocked. 3. We love to be rewarded as humans!! Even a small amount to allocate to yourself to get your nails done or a dinner out can feed the positive flow and give y

I'm not ok with it. I'm not ok with Boutique owners not paying themselves. It's just unacceptable. You started this business because you love it- now it's time to decide why you haven't paid yourself (more) yet! The first in a 3 part series, I'm diving into WHY you aren't paying yourself (or not paying yourself more!). 1. You don't believe you deserve to get paid for your work in your store. 2. You don't see other boutique owners paying themselves. 3. You say "I can't afford it." I'd love to hear from you at hello@stylishandsuccessful.com with an email titled "I've decided to pay myself." or "Paying myself is a non-negotiable."

You know those days when you wake up on the “wrong” side of the bed and the rest of the day is tough? GUESS WHAT? YOU CAN CHANGE THAT!!! I invited this week’s guest, Suzanne Adams, on the show specifically because not only is she a total blast, but she’s a MASTER at helping people learn to shift and manage energy. In the episode, she teaches simple and specific ways to go from low to high vibe, quickly! Never again let a negative customer ruin the vibe in your boutique! We also go deep into talking about retreats and how much they have changed my life. I LOVE Suzanne and Cameo’s (Episode 009!) retreat experiences and I’m psyched to be offering a limited time, special discount for their transformational Palm Beach retreat called Ignite and Expand. For a week after this episode airs, you can get $300 off the registration price by using this link: http://cameoandsuzanne.com/emily/ and using code “$300off-1” if you choose to pay in full, or code “$300off-2” if you pay using the installment option!

Apparel shows, markets, showrooms... what?! I've noticed that so many new boutique owners are simply going online and purchasing inventory through aggregate sites like FashionGo and LA Showroom. I'd never say that this is a bad thing, buttttt if you want to run a quality boutique, it's a great investment to go to a Market Center or Fashion Apparel Trade Show each season. Why? 1. Create a plan for the show. Know how much money you can spend each month based on last year's sales. Understand what your assortment needs are! 2. Go slow around the show-- you don't have to be rushing around to get to all of it. Pick the 1 show that is the best fit for you and your brand and use your intuition walking around to stop in the booths that have the best 'feeling' for your shop. 3. How to interact with vendors-- my proven process of walking in a booth and leaving not feeling like you spent a million dollars!!!

The #1 Question we are seeing over in The Fashion Truck Tribe (bit.ly/trucktribe) this month is: "Why aren't people buying from my website?" LET'S DISCUSS.

In this episode, I'm going to break down the 3 most common issues I see with almost all boutique websites I visit. Here's to making lots of friends and making lots of money!
