What To Do When You “Don’t Know Where to Start”
“I don’t even know where to start,” I thought to myself.
It was three weeks before my maternity leave was ending, and I was looking at a calendar next to my to-do list.
Pack for Cape Town, finish the baby’s daycare applications, schedule a photoshoot, hire someone to run digital ads, get a haircut for the first time in six months…
I had a million things to do with half the time to do them and everything felt like a priority.
Sound familiar?
Whether we’re really busy or starting something new or feeling pulled in a bunch of different directions, it’s normal to feel a sense of paralysis.
And the statement that most often comes up is:
I don’t even know where to start.
I know you know what I’m talking about because one of the most common questions I’m asked is:
Where do I start?
I get email after email from people who have an idea for a clothing line or product but they don’t know how to make it happen.
How do I know what fabric I need?
How do I create sketches if I can’t draw?
How do I organize all of my ideas? And which one should I choose?
Instead of zooming in on one thing to tackle first, they find themselves paralyzed by the overwhelm of everything else.
And they end up doing nothing.
The thing is, starting a clothing company is a lot more straightforward than people think. And so much of the process can be tackled by…
Simplifying.
That means when you think you should be doing more you should actually be doing less.
And over the next three weeks, I’m going to prove that to you.
If you have dreams of launching a fashion business I’m going to show you how you can simplify and start.
I’m going to walk you through the first THREE steps you need to take to start your company.
And the best part is, each of these three steps will take no longer than an hour to do. (Actually, each one will probably take less than 30 minutes!)
My goal here, and the goal of the Factory45 program, is to make “I don’t know where to start” obsolete.
My goal is to show you that “knowing where to start” is a lot easier than you think.
Next week I’m going to send the very first step to my subscribers. You can sign up here to get it in your inbox.
(It will be especially helpful if you’re one of those people who “can’t draw.”)
Talk soon,
