About this episode
Do you actually need a business plan to run a successful boutique?

You'll learn:
-
Why every boutique owner needs a business plan
-
How a business plan helps uncover growth opportunities
-
Why your value proposition matters more than ever
-
How to prepare for funding, expansion, and future growth
