Why Boutiques Financially Fail

About this episode

The episode discusses three key reasons why boutiques fail financially and how to address them.

3 reasons your boutique isn't as profitable as it should be: 1. Your financial plan only looks at sales — not loans, taxes, owner pay, or savings. If those aren't in there, the plan doesn't work. 2. You're buying inventory with your gut instead of a buying plan by department by month. That gap costs you more than you know. 3. You're avoiding your numbers because nobody taught you how to read them. You can't fix what you won't look at. All three of these are fixable. That's what Profit Power Tools does.
