The Start Of My Journey

Hello there:) I want to first thank you for stopping by and taking the time to read my blog. I hope to help others that may be on the same journey or something similar as me. I almost don't know where to start. I want to be brief and straight to the point. I got the idea to start a mobile boutique after seeing a Marshall's commercial with a similar concept. No one seems to remember this commercial but me..lol. I doubted myself off the bat which you will most likely see for yourself throughout this process. (I want to keep it real and be my honest self) I figured I couldn't afford it and I couldn't possibly do something like that! But man if I could it would be the best for my business. I'd already had my business up and running by doing local events and online. If I could do the mobile boutique I wouldn't have to worry about overhead, being stuck in one spot, locking myself into a contract, being subject to the weather when doing events with only a tent. I got caught in the rain once during an event and it was awful. I got soaking wet and so did my merchandise. I'd already looked into renting a space or doing a kiosk in the mall. Expensive and more expensive. Some time later I attended a local college homecoming game and guess what I saw? Yes a lady with a mobile boutique! That was my wow moment. I can do this it can be done were my thoughts. I went into crazy mode from that day forward. I researched and researched. I've spent hours on the Internet googling fashion mobile boutiques and mobile boutiques. I've learned so much and was inspired by many. The whole process the ups and downs motivated me to share my experience. I hope to be able to help others on this same journey. If you are curious here's a picture of the 1st mobile I'd seen and been in. My inspiration.:)
