Scotty's Jedi Lessons On Starting A Retail Business

- Do your research. Know what you are getting into with a brick and mortar or online retail store and understand the market trends, opportunities, and challenges before you go "all in"

- Build your network. Reach out to similar and successful business owners in the market that you want to start selling.

- Start small. Before investing capital and time with a store, start selling from your collection to test the proof of concept for your store and products.
