What are the SIX most common reasons boutique owners close their doors? From leadership to finances….we have watched thousands of boutiques at The Boutique Hub, and most often, it comes down to these areas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n


How can you avoid them? Let’s chat in today’s episode! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plus, these takeaways:

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1.     Make the shift from \u201cSolopreneur\u201d hustling business owner to a CEO with delegated assistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2.      Every successful business has a visionary with ideas and an integrator to get those ideas executed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3.     Only 40% of small businesses are profitable, 30% break even, and 30% are losing money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Favorite Quotes:<\/strong>
