Starting a Clothing Line - **Tip of the Day** - Utilize Your Assets


(Check this skirt out at my store on Etsy.com)

Many would be successful entrepreneurs, I believe, make the very big and costly mistake of trying to do everything yourself. Well, at least ones that have the perfectionist syndrome (ME!). 
DO NOT DO THIS!

At this very moment people in your same entrepreneurial position are striving to be successful, working to make their dreams come true, or simply just having fun developing a hobby. Now here's something you may not know... these people can help you make your business/dream/ambition a success. USE THEIR TALENTS!!! You may say this sounds too "out for yourself," but it's not. Here's why...

YOU HELP THEM BY LETTING THEM HELP YOU!!

Yea, it's true.

You know a less experienced photographer...USE THEM! 
You don't have to have the hottest photographer in the beginning, or ever for that matter. There are plenty of lesser known photographers trying to gain experience. Many of them are amazingly talented, and looking to add to there portfolio. The best thing about this is, they will usually do a shoot FOR FREE or at least very cheap.

Same advice goes for the beauty-school student wanting more experience...
LET THEM STYLE HAIR FOR A SHOOT!! They would truly love and appreciate the opportunity.

This same idea applies to make-up artists, models, web-designers, and many more!

UTILIZE YOUR ASSETS!!

(I think this post was made to remind myself! ha ha)
