Hi Guys,
Well, Doug finally decided to record the Part II follow-up to our first video where we ask, and answer the question of whether it is a good idea to launch a retail boutique business in the current down economy.

So, without further delay, here it is! We hope you like it, and pleeeeeaze submit a comment to let us know how you liked it, or if you have any questions. Who knows, if you ask a great question, we may just record a video specifically to answer it!

    Hey Doug,
    Thanks so much for this video!

    This exact question has been on my mind recently. I really like what you said about turning the down economy into an opportunity instead of an obstacle. That’s the kind of thinking that I am going to need in order to overcome my fears of failure v. success, and I know it will help me define my boutique’s “unique selling proposition” in order to thrive in this market.

    what about business loans? my sister and I want to open a dress boutique that carries a wide range of dresses from very formal and to conservative. We live in a muslim community where there is a high demand for these types of dresses. We ourselves can never find dresses appropriate to wear to events. We know it will be a success, however, is it possible to get a small business loan or grant?

    Good Day Dough

    Thank you for your in presence in oepening a boutique.I am in the process of taking such a huge step where I must still start out.So I have an overactive mind with many questions and no answers,..searching ways to answer my own questions and it is exhausting but exciting as well.I am happy I landed on this site as I will need all the guidance,I can get.
    I am from South Africa and find it challenging to communicate with suppliers in the USA.Andsearching for suppliers with the correct line of product I am searching for.
    I am considering to buying your book.

    Thank you
