Coming Together
I’ve decided to cut out the middle man. As a complete control freak, it’s a wonder I even considered otherwise.I’ve been talking to my “counselor” at the SBA, and have decided to open my own store. I kept finding that a physical store was always an “eventually” when I talked about my business. An ultimate goal. Why?
As a side: I’ve also decided that I hate the term “small business” - there is nothing small about me. I am poor. There’s a big difference. My ideas are big, my talent is big, my knowledge is big, and my drive is bigger than any you’ve ever been faced with.
The plan, while I’m getting the financial backers and production all in order, is to start selling the capsule collection through the online store, create some kind of buzz about Clark & Bettie, even if it’s just in New York, and then… once I have a full collection finished, open a shop here in Brooklyn. I’ll use the front as the store, and the back as a studio. It will be adorable and awesome and everything I want it to be. I will not be selling random pieces to buyers in other stores, I will be selling the complete collection, as I intended it, in a store designed the way I want it. Every last detail will be my vision.
Mark my words, during my 30th year of life, all of this will happen.
