We know both sides: the excitement of launching and the reality of day-to-day operations. This session gives you an honest, practical perspective on what it really takes. What we can cover based on your needs: Choosing a location and negotiating your lease Curating your product selection Daily operations and inventory management Marketing a physical store Knowing when it makes sense — and when it doesn't For: creative entrepreneurs considering a physical store, or those who just opened one.
