Risk is a necessary part of entrepreneurship. And sometimes that means saying no to a sure-thing in the pursuit of something better.
That's the story of Marion Smith, a designer who turned down a $150K salary in the paper crafts industry to create her own independent brand and earn 6-figures a month.
In this episode, you'll learn:
- How to plan out and manage a subscription box product.
- Why you should get a large order of samples when working with manufacturers rather than just a few samples.
- How she was able to build a 20,000+ loyal fan base using YouTube.
