Think your manufacturer will help guide you? Think again! 💯💯 . Your manufacturer is bias... of course they want you to produce a ton of garments because that’s where they make money.👎👎 . They’re not going to tell you your design sucks.👎 . They’re not going to advise you to cut back on sample making.👎 . They’re not going to tell you to do a smaller size run.👎 . Because this all hurts their bottom line.💯💯 . Of course a good and honest manufacturer will want you to succeed because if your stuff sells then you’ll produce more and more which will lead to more profit for them. . But most know your chances of success are slim so they’d rather make a quick buck now.👎👎 . You need someone on your side who can give you advice and won’t profit from your mistakes.🙌🙌 . You need someone in your corner who will tell you the TRUTH because it will help you succeed in the end!👏👏 . . . You need Fashion Angel Warrior! This is what we do and why people love working with us! Just check out our 5 Star Google Reviews! 🙌🙌@fashionangelwarrior

What is your WHY?🤔🤔 — I always tell my clients, if your why doesn’t make you cry, it’s not strong enough. 💯💯 — Your why can’t be that you love fashion. Yes, everybody loves fashion, but there needs to be more than that. 🤞 — What is going to motivate you when you’re tired and exhausted at the end of the night and all you want to do is go to bed? 🤔🤔 — What’s going to motivate you when you’re sick and you’re not feeling well? So, have a really strong why. — Are you solving a problem? Are you trying to achieve financial freedom? Are you trying to just spend more time with your family and have a better way of life? — Thus, what is your why? That’s really important. — So tell me, what is your WHY? If you don’t know it, take advantage of this time at home to reflect and think and come back to this when you’re ready👇👇

What if there was a way to reach your #1 IDEAL target customer…🤔 — And not only could you find them but you could also reach out to them and actually speak to them…….👏👏 — And it was all for FREE!!! 😮😮 — Welcome to social media. LOL, yes!🙌🙌🙌 __ Do you realize that before social media this was actually very difficult to do.  Before social media, we just had the internet and had to rely on people to go to the internet and search for something we sold. — Before the internet you had to rely on having a great store front location, and hoping that your ideal target customer would just happen to walk by.👎 — And if you didn’t have a brick and mortar business, you had to rely on cold calling.  Sure maybe you bought a list from someone that was somewhat your demographic but there was no way to really know for sure.🤔 — With social media (and their respective ad platforms) you can search for a 25-35 year old woman who lives in Chicago, buys MAC makeup, shops at Neiman Marcus, reads Vogue magazine, and drinks Starbucks coffee and reach out to her!  You can get so super specific with social media, which is why it’s important that you REALLY know who your IDEAL target customer is.👏👏 — __ __ So who’s going to stop treating social media like a hobby and start treating it like a biz?! Leave a 🙋‍♀️ below if that is you!👇👇 @fashionangelwarrior

WHICH ONE ARE YOU? 🤔🤔 . There will be businesses that flourish financially due to Covid-19 and there will be businesses that completely go under… . And both of these scenarios will be based on 2 simple things;👇👇 . 1- Your ability to know what you should be doing right now👏 2- What you have already done up until this point👏 . First, let’s talk about the latter.  You see I’ve been shouting, screaming, even BEGGING brands up until this point to put their focus ONLINE!🙌🙌 . To stop worrying about finding a manufacturer and to start building their tribe.  To stop focusing on their product, and start focusing on who is actually going to buy it.👏👏 . And yet no matter how many times I say this to startups, I am almost always met with opposition. “Well, Christine how can I start social media or build a website if I don’t have a product?” 🤔🤔 . Or one of my favs is, “SEO?  What is that?”🧐🧐 . Are you kidding me!!!! If you don’t know what SEO is, IMO you don’t deserve to have an online biz!💯💯 . And with times like these that we are currently facing where the entire world is on lockdown and retailers are cancelling orders, NOW is the BEST time for online sales!🙌🙌 . But if you didn’t listen to me, if you didn’t take my advice that I tried so hard to get into your head, you’re not going to profit from this opportunity.👎 . So if you ever needed a reason to be online.... THIS IS IT!! Don’t wait any longer.  Do not delay!  There is no time like the present.  Take advantage of an opportunity that has presented itself so you can prosper during this time!👏👏 . As for the first point I mentioned which is= Your ability to know what you should be doing right now….Join us tomorrow, Tues 8pm EST so we can help guide you along these uncertain times!  We’ll be doing another Facebook live inside The Fearless Fashionpreneur group and answering all your questions about your biz, Covid 19 and what you should be doing!🙌🙌 .

Feeling unmotivated and don’t know why?! Answer this: Are you a perfectionist? 🤔🤔 — I speak with too many start-up designers who are concerned with everything being perfect. As I like to say, perfection is the enemy of progress. 👎👎 — You will not progress in your business if you are a perfectionist, and I can say this because I am a recovering perfectionist and that’s the term I like to use because I am still working on it. 👏👏👏 — I also like to say that perfectionism produces procrastination. You are not going to get anything done if you have to make it perfect all the time. 👎👎 — Understand that it does not need to be perfect. Done is much better than perfect- especially when you’re starting a business and working on things. 💯💯 — There are so many times when I make mistakes, I don’t dwell on them. I don’t go back and fix them. I don’t have time. ❌❌ — If you have time to worry about stuff like that, you are not doing enough in your business. You might think that’s mean, but it’s true. 🙌🙌 — So, work harder on your business and you naturally become less of a perfectionist. 👍👍 — What’s one way you will let go of your perfectionism today?! I’d love to know below👇👇 @fashionangelwarrior

This industry is SUPER small. People talk… and both the good and the bad gets passed around.💯💯 . Sure you could google a manufacturer or pay for online databases to find one but how will you know whether they are good?🤔🤔 . Sure you can visit them and ask all the right questions, which will take tons of your time and energy, and yet you still won’t know for sure if they can be trusted. If they ship on time and do good work.🤔🤔 . This is why everyone loves to attend our Manufacturing tours…because we tell it like it is!🙌🙌 . We know who you should work with, as well as who you SHOULDN’T. I’ve heard horror stories from other industry professionals and strive to be sure everyone we recommend and put on our list is trusted, vetted, and verified, and just really nice to work with :)👏👏 . PLUS you walk away with our Preferred Vendor List of over 90 vendors and suppliers!!! (and NO we don’t sell this list, it’s worth too much to us and we want to be sure only the serious and committed get these contacts).💯💯 . So come on one of our next tours! We are doing LA May 12th! ✈️ . . . Leave your email below or DM us if you are interested so you’re the first to know when tickets drop because these tours sell out real quick! 👇👇@fashionangelwarrior

“Document the moments you feel most in love with yourself-- what you’re wearing, who you are around, and what you’re doing. Recreate and Repeat.”👏👏 -- Because life is truly about living!

We will all get through this together. 🙌🙌 -- Do you have an item that anytime you look at it, it brings you back to a fond moment in the past?! What is it?! 👇👇Comment down below to share with us!
