Description

When we were kids, it usually didn’t phase us to try new things—I mean, childhood is a time when we’re always learning, right?  And for the most part, if we don’t get it right, we just dust ourselves off and try again. As adults, however, we don’t tend to give ourselves the same kind of grace. We want to get things right the first time. That’s why I loved my conversation with Darlene Turner, who was one of the first people who joined my 0-$100K Program. In this episode of the podcast, Darlene shares her journey launching and growing her online boutique, CrushOnThis.net—and what she’s learned along the way (including why it’s okay to be bad at something new.) Key TakeawaysIntro (00:00)How we met (00:49)Wanting her own business (02:45)What school doesn’t teach you (03:47)“I wanted someone that had done it” (04:48)Getting started (05:49)Finding inspiration (07:11)Crush on That, Crush on This (08:48)Too much inventory (09:50)Learning on deal sites (12:12)Going live on Facebook (14:20)It takes as long as it takes (22:28)Learning to be bad again (25:44) Home “studio” (27:48)Facebook groups and pages (28:29)Comment Sold (31:50)Don’t attach an outcome (33:06)Wanting a connection (36:38)Top takeaways (40:45) Additional Resources Shop with Darlene: CrushOnThis.netFacebook: @crushonthis.netOn Instagram: @crushonthis Connect with Alison:Facebook: @alisonjprinceInstagram: @alisonjprinceLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/alisonjprince/>>>Click here to join the $0-100k System!
