This is a super personal episode for me. This week as we wrap up our 10th<\/sup> Anniversary Series, I wanted to chat about not only the origins and evolution of The Boutique Hub but also my journey as an entrepreneur, and I\u2019m sharing a story that I haven\u2019t shared until recently or with many people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I learned some huge lessons early on about imposter syndrome and finding strength in adversity. I put my trust in the wrong business partner and almost lost my company, along with my confidence in myself and my vision. As hard as it is to look back on, I want to share my experience with you guys because I think we all have felt that way, like we don\u2019t know the next step or even if there\u2019s a way forward. And that\u2019s exactly why I built The Boutique Hub, to provide a place where boutique owners can come together and learn from each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I look back on the last 10 years and everything The Hub has become and accomplished, my mission remains the same: to serve others, build community and change the future of retail. The Hub has so much more in the works, and our team is ready to take on the next 10 years continuing to find ways to better serve you and your business. We\u2019re putting a huge emphasis on data and metrics with the launch of our new dashboard and Boutique Hub Black, introducing new tools to help you track performance and pan inventory, developing education specifically for wholesale businesses and home & gift retailers, growing Hubventory.com as a marketplace to shop with brands you can trust \u2026 and that\u2019s just the tip of the iceberg!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you to all of you who\u2019ve joined our community and been a part of this journey. The Boutique Hub would not be what it is today without you. Please know how grateful I am for your support and please continue to send us your feedback. Cheers to the next 10 years!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
