“This might be a stupid question…”
Said one of my recent 1:1 clients the other day,
And it got me thinking
When you are working with a professional on something you have never done before, IMO there is no such thing as a silly question,
But I get it, we’re kinda conditioned to act like we know it all – when really the only way we learn is when were questioning EVERYTHING, even things we know…
This is a big lesson I learnt when I started my own fashion brand,
It is ALWAYS the right time to ask for help, here’s why:
When I started my brand way back in 2017/18, I felt like I had all the tools,
✅ I knew how I wanted my collection to look
✅ I knew how to make a Tech Pack for the item of clothing I wanted to make
✅ I knew what fabric I was going to use & where I was getting it from
✅ And I knew who was making the product
What I didn’t know was how to start thinking like a business so that my fashion brand was set up for success FROM THE START (and not after 1 year of trying alone)
I can honestly say, If I had asked for help at the start of my venture, you know, things like creating a strong brand identity, working out my costings & sourcing more cost effective fabric & suppliers, I may have made profit a lot sooner! But hey! Here I am to tell the tale & help someone in the same position learn from me ??
