Boost Your Boutique with Emily Benson

Do you think there's a quick fix for your boutique business? So many women do!!! In this episode I'm going to explain why thinking there's a quick fix can be a tough pill to swallow and how to have a quantum leap in your mindset around it. 1. Think taking a course, reading a book or even listening to this podcast is enough to change your business? It's not! You have to implement the steps and advice to actually see results. You need to do what's required to grow a sustainable business! 2. Think throwing money at tangible places will help? Nope... Facebook Ads, Inventory... most likely these things also take time and a plan to get a real return on the money you put towards them. I spent thousands in FB Ad testing before I could actually get a return on them! So how do you fix this mindset issue? 1. Do the mindset work! Find your patterns, change them! Realize you can create your own reality and that avoiding the mindset work only creates a deeper issue. 2. Plan to do the actual work! Make a schedule, set time aside to work on what you have committed to!

I met Valerie at a retreat last year and I’ve seen as a Spiritual Teacher and Coach how wonderfully she combines faith, family and being a mom. In this episode we talk about balancing it all and Valerie gives you some great tips and resources to help you stay on track. This episode is going to make you FEEL GOOD!!

I’m wrapping up this powerful 3 part series on PAYING YOURSELF!!! If you haven’t heard it yet, I’m over boutique owners saying they can’t pay themselves because they need to prioritize paying for other things. Most likely, you aren’t managing your margins or expenses appropriately— that’s the first place to check in with yourself. If you go longer than 6 months without paying yourself, most likely, you never will and your boutique will fall flat because you aren’t managing your money correctly. In this episode I focus on teaching you how to actually start paying yourself: 1. Focus on your NET profit. Keep margins high, watch expenses closely. 2. Find an amazing and supportive accountant who understands you and your goals. They don’t make you feel bad about money or scared of the IRS. 3. If you are a sole proprietor or a single member LLC, simply write yourself a check from the business account, and deposit it into your personal account as the owner’s draw. If you are a corporation, partnership LLC, or have employees you may want to consider using a payroll service to help you manage paying the taxes on payroll to yourself and others.

I'm going DEEPER with this whole 'YOU'VE GOT TO PAY YOURSELF" idea this week. Because really guys, you HAVE to start taking a salary from your boutique business... and this week I'm going to tell you WHY you MUST pay yourself! I feel like I'm trying to convince boutique-land to adjust from a very old martyrdom mindset, to a "money flows in and out of my business with ease and grace" mindset! Here's my top 3 reasons why you really MUST start paying yourself: 1. We have to evolve into a modern relationship with money! Te internet has changed everything but our ideas haven't- we still get caught up in the 'work hard, make money' mentality. Let's get excited to unplug from the old and plug into the new concept of money! 2. Most flows as energy-- when you don't pay yourself, you won't be able to spend it and they cycle of in/out energy flow gets blocked. 3. We love to be rewarded as humans!! Even a small amount to allocate to yourself to get your nails done or a dinner out can feed the positive flow and give your brain a pat on the back for putting your all into the business!

I'm not ok with it. I'm not ok with Boutique owners not paying themselves. It's just unacceptable. You started this business because you love it- now it's time to decide why you haven't paid yourself (more) yet! The first in a 3 part series, I'm diving into WHY you aren't paying yourself (or not paying yourself more!). 1. You don't believe you deserve to get paid for your work in your store. 2. You don't see other boutique owners paying themselves. 3. You say "I can't afford it." I'd love to hear from you at [email protected] with an email titled "I've decided to pay myself." or "Paying myself is a non-negotiable."

You know those days when you wake up on the “wrong” side of the bed and the rest of the day is tough? GUESS WHAT? YOU CAN CHANGE THAT!!!

In the episode, she teaches simple and specific ways to go from low to high vibe, quickly! Never again let a negative customer ruin the vibe in your boutique! We also go deep into talking about retreats and how much they have changed my life.

Feel free to send me an email at [email protected] if you have any questions about my retreat experience or need advice about signing up! I attended the Sedona Ignite & Expand Retreat and can honestly say it was time of a MASSIVE shift in my life and business. More about Suzanne: Suzanne Adams is the author of the best selling book, Musings of an Earth Angel and a business & transformational success coach to men and women who are able to consistently break through boundaries, taking their businesses and personal lives to new heights.

Apparel shows, markets, showrooms... what?! I've noticed that so many new boutique owners are simply going online and purchasing inventory through aggregate sites like FashionGo and LA Showroom. I'd never say that this is a bad thing, buttttt if you want to run a quality boutique, it's a great investment to go to a Market Center or Fashion Apparel Trade Show each season. Why? 1. Create a plan for the show. Know how much money you can spend each month based on last year's sales. Understand what your assortment needs are! 2. Go slow around the show-- you don't have to be rushing around to get to all of it. Pick the 1 show that is the best fit for you and your brand and use your intuition walking around to stop in the booths that have the best 'feeling' for your shop. 3. How to interact with vendors-- my proven process of walking in a booth and leaving not feeling like you spent a million dollars!!!

Mindset... a topic I keep getting asked to teach more about. So, let's discuss. Because I see it in your FB comments and posts... there are so many ways money mindset is sneaking into your thoughts and ideas. And it's going to start affecting your business. I'm going to show you the ways that mindset is hurting your boutique on this week's episode of the podcast. We're opening the doors to my top rated Six Figure Blueprint course very soon... and if you aren't on the waitlist yet, join here so you get the word first: bit.ly/SFBA17 1. You don't charge what your products are worth. You are worried that other people will think your prices are too expensive. 2. You won't pay for help! Bottom line is that there is no way for you to do it all! Get a housekeeper, a nanny, an employee, a packer... get help to grow! 3. You're keeping your customer base limited based on your location. Here's to making lots of friends and making lots of money! - Emily Benson Find more at: www.boostyourboutique.com www.stylishandsuccessful.com www.fashiontruck.com bit.ly/trucktribeMentioned in this episode:How To Start A Clothing Boutique Business - Free On-Demand WebinarHere is the link to register for the free, on-demand training:How To Start A Clothing Boutique BusinessWork on Your Shop Event- September 21, 2025Work|on your|shop is a one-day, in-person experience designed to reset your mindset and give you the exact steps to grow your boutique with more ease and clarity.

We asked in my Facebook Group, The Fashion Truck Tribe, what you wanted to hear about on the podcast, and this topic resonated with many women (and probably some who didn't even speak up!). What to do when no one supports your boutique dreams. This is a big one guys... And my number one thing is to GET SUPPORT. We're opening the doors to my top rated Six Figure Blueprint course very soon... and if you aren't on the waitlist yet, join here so you get the word first: bit.ly/SFBA17 But really... it all starts with trusting yourself. If you have this dream, you are meant to do it. Stay inside your entrepreneurial bubble, read books, listen to podcasts and write down your goals everyday. Consistent self determination is where this whole journey has to start. Next, look for support, whether it's paid or unpaid support groups. Facebook groups, mastermind partners or even paid courses like Six Figure Blueprint are going to help get you closer to your goal. And let's talk about paying for help. Whether it's a coach, consultant, assistant, group coaching program... at a certain point, it's 100% worth your time and money to invest in help. I've seen too many women self-destruct and go out of business because they spiral off alone... battling mindset issues or marketing roadblocks. We aren't taught to invest in learning... we're taught to invest in houses and cars. But what if you could learn so much that you MAKE money from your investments?!

Are you struggling to get sales from social media? Do you have traffic to your online boutique, but it’s not converting into dollars? This episode is made for YOU! I’m going to show you the top 3 ways that are going to transform your social media into sales for your boutique business. Here are the 3 ways you might not be converting social media into sales: 1. Your mindset is busted! Switch it up! 1. Stop saying things like “I’m not making sales” or “my FB group is dead” or “it’s not working”. Switch the script to what you DO WANT to be happening. 2. Realize that the momentum of your business is directly related to the quality of your thoughts and words. Negative thoughts keep the train in the station… and you want to get positive to get the train rolling and faster and faster. 3. Social media is a thankless job at first, but once you find just 1 person to be responsive to keep you going. That one person will turn into more! So many people quit because they don’t see the immediate results from social media posts. Don’t quit!!! 2. You aren’t showing up as authentically you. 1. Marketing in 2017 is all about selling yourself. 2. Don’t hold back from being yourself and shining in the spotlight of your business! 3. More women will want to buy from you when you are showing up as you and shining! 3. You probably aren’t taking enough action! 1. Are you developing an email list? Email marketing has the highest ROI. 2. Are you posting enough to FB and Instagram? 3. Are you engaging your customers and potential customers with your posts or are you selling too much?

I’m so sick of hearing about boutique owners being freaked out about debt. Let’s get down to figuring out how to stop giving away your money power around debt in this episode of the podcast. 1. Take the shame out of it! 1. Why are mortgages ok, but investments of inventory on a credit card aren’t? 2. Let’s call this debt, a business investment. 3. Stop giving debt power because what you focus on expand, but the shame will get worse if you focus on it and will give in the way of you running your business. 2. Stop paying off your credit card in big chunks. 1. Help your credit score by paying back in smaller amounts over time. 2. Ween yourself off the card and start using cash whenever possible, you want to run your business on cash as much as you can. 3. To be able to do this quickly, you need to manage your inventory and watch your expenses. If you are interested in learning more about how to manage your inventory and pay yourself, consider investing in the digital ticket to my Boost Your Boutique Workshop where I go deep into how to do this. You can find the digital ticket here: bit.ly/BYBDallasReplay 3. Shift Your Mindset and Money Story 1. Debt = Trust. A bank or person trusted you enough to let you borrow money with the intention of you paying it back! 2. Check in where you are with your thoughts and ideas about money. What’s your money story and where did it come from? 3. Choose to re-write your money story and give yourself the power back around your future.

Always 'making money', but none of it is in the bank? I'm going to show you 4 hidden ways you are losing money in your boutique business. 1. You're initial margin isn't high enough because you most likely aren't charging enough. 2. You're giving way to many miscellaneous discounts. 3. You are running constant sales and not marking down throughout the season. 4. You don't have a charity policy that works with your profitability needs.

Greg and I get into the concept of wanting, allowing and how to get what you want in life. We also explore the magic value of what you are offering in your boutique. When he was 21, Gregory C.

Need a boost in social media or sales? Great, Ashley Alderson, Founder of The Boutique Hub is on the podcast today with a mix of mindset and practical tips to get you going! The Boutique Hub is a place where boutique owners can showcase their products, connect with other owners, bloggers and vendors. It's a membership site that can be found at www.theBoutiqueHub.com. Ashley says it's vital for boutiques to create an authentic experience for their customers. People want to do business with people, not with companies. One of the most successful ways she has seen boutiques create this is through video, specifically Facebook Live video. She also says that business is 100% mental. To get comfortable being authentic, you need to decide to be comfortable in your own skin. Know that good will come out of you showing up as yourself! As a boutique owner you want to know your WHY! How do you want to make people feel? This is your opportunity to serve a mission. When it comes to social strategy, you want to have a recipe of content that you share to work the Facebook algorithm. The biggest mistake Ashley sees with boutique owners is sharing too much product and having no call to action. Ashley and I agree that the fastest way to grow your business, especially when you're feeling stuck is to hire a coach. She talks about the fear that's wrapped up in hiring a coach, but mentions that we're only as good as the information we have. It's not what you know, but who you know that's really going to make a difference. As a boutique owner, you don't have time to go out and search and test information you find- a good coach can look at the wider scope of your business and identify your weaknesses. The Boutique Summit is Ashley's signature event held in Dallas on June 12-13, 2017 at the Dallas Market Center. She's bringing together the top boutique owners, bloggers, brands and designers under one roof to get inspired, connect and learn from each other. Notable speakers at the Summit are: - Kelsey Darby of The Lace Cactus - Becka Clark of Kiki La Rue - Laura Benson of Philly Flair - Reza Khadjavi of Shoelace Technologies - Niyc Pidgeon a Positive Psychologist, Hay House Author, and International Success Coach for female entrepreneurs The Boutique Summit sold out in 9 days, but digital passes are available at www.theboutiquehub.com/summit and include all speaker videos and downloads, offer codes and bonus items!

For 20 years Intuitive Success Coach Cameo Gore worked in the healthcare industry. She started as a Registered Nurse in the Operating Room and worked her way up the ladder to become Director of Surgery at a Nationally ranked Pediatric Hospital. She had to give herself permission to be a beginner again, shifting into coaching. Starting her business allowed her to see that she was “starting over” being an entrepreneur. #HeartOverHustle is Cameo’s signature hashtag… how to get over the busy, the struggle and create a gorgeous path to grow your business: 1. You can create incredible results without being busy! 2. Ask yourself: What’s the core desired feeling of what you want in your business? 3. When you’re in the state of spaciousness you have room for money to come in, or anything else you want to come in. 4. Plan to only work 20 hours a week. How can you leverage a team to be the goddess in your business? 5. Alignment… don’t do things that feel bad! Alignment is where we feel good about what we’re doing. If you don’t feel good, pivot and see what feels good. It’s ok to change your mind and realize the dreams you wanted aren’t right anymore. When you really connect with what you want you are aligned. 6. Get past the judgement. Don’t hold yourself back because of the fear of what other people will think. 7. Your own truth is your intuition. And that’s how you know your steps forward. 8. Build a support team around you when you are making a big change who understand what your dream is. People with quit if they don’t have that support. Reframe yourself in your business so that you have the image of you being supported. If you believe in the vision, things show up. 9. When we ask for something, but there is no physical manifestation of it, our subconscious has trouble believing it can happen. Talk as if you are already there to quantum leap into where you want to be. My favorite quote from this episode is: “Always believe in the vision.” You can find Cameo at CameoGore.com and learn about her life changing retreats at CameoandSuzanne.com.

Fear, desperation or struggling with money in your boutique business? This episode is for you! Emily talks to Freedom Lifestyle Coach Liivi Hess about how you can drop the money struggle today. Stop worrying about money all the time with simple, actionable steps you can start doing today. Liivi gives us 5 steps to stop blocking yourself from income: 1. Flip the money coin and DECIDE not to struggle. 2. Listen to money mindset audios on YouTube and Audiobooks like "The Science of Getting Rich" by Wallace D. Wattles. She listened via iBooks. 3. Use really simple, 4 word mantras during your day. Liivi used "Wealth, Success, Clients, Abundance." By using mantras you can interrupt your negative thought process and raise your vibration. 4. Write scenarios out that you want to happen. When you write them out, you take the power out of them and they become possible for you. 5. Put "fake" things on your calendar to see what you want come to life. The book series we spoke about is the Law of Attraction series by Esther and Jerry Hicks. Specifically, we spoke about the book "Money and The Law of Attraction." My favorite quote from Liivi is, "There's not enough action to make up for a misaligned thought."Mentioned in this episode:How To Start A Clothing Boutique Business - Free On-Demand WebinarHere is the link to register for the free, on-demand training:How To Start A Clothing Boutique BusinessWork on Your Shop Event- September 21, 2025Work|on your|shop is a one-day, in-person experience designed to reset your mindset and give you the exact steps to grow your boutique with more ease and clarity.

Do you feel like your boutique is at a standstill in sales? Are you frustrated that customers aren't coming in the door? Or maybe you're trying to expand, but you're stuck? This week's episode has the answers and ideas you need.
