How to launch a fashion business with Daymond John.
Enter Shopify's Build A Business Competition »
"Always start with your local store and become a local hero. That's how you get attention, you start to get people who become your local cheerleaders. You don't want to scale too quickly, you don't want to take out a big loan until you start to sell, see what works, what doesn't work. And then when you have all the bugs out of the line, then you can go further and further."
As part of Shopify's Build A Business Competition, Daymond John lays out his keys to successfully creating a fashion powerhouse. While the focus is on fashion, Daymond's advice on lean growth and partnerships applies to all businesses.
Each week we release a new video from one of our mentors: Tim Ferriss, Daymond John, Eric Ries and Tina Roth Eisenberg.
Come up with a product to sell, open an online store using Shopify, and start selling. Compete for over $500,000 in cash, prizes and mentorship!

Kanye should have listened to his advice
why are you saying this ?
I like this kind of talk when it comes to business: straight to the point, clear and practical
do you interested to start this type of business.
I saw Daymond John, sitting on the floor at M.A.G.I.C. in Vegas (late 90’s). He gave me his card. He was sincere in his effort to succeed. I had my dreams too, but no where near the support. I learned so much from him in his short sales pitch, I believe he showed me how real it can be. #Respect
megasif … you’re not a ‘nobody’ you’re a ‘yet to be somebody’. Good luck!!
I like how honest he is in trying to help nobodies…b/c I think he was once broke…or whatever.

This was great! Ive been searching high and low for inventory for my online boutique and have yet to find anything that fits my vision and meets the needs of my particular niche. Now, Im considering manufacturing my own or finding a manufacturer that does private labeling, in addition to finding wholesale inventory that meets my requirements. Still, Im not 100% positive on which way to go. I will now weigh the options thanks!
