The holidays are coming and as a product based business, planning for them should be a top priority. However, before you can even begin to think about what is to come, you need to look at what you have. This is such an important part of the process! It may seem tedious, but it will really help you set goals and understand your business better.
What are some things to look at? Start with your supplies and inventory. If you don’t have a system set up, now is the time. You also want to look at the previous year’s sales during the holidays and set some realistic goals.
Lastly, you want to take a look at your products. What can you update or improve upon in your listings or photos?
Taking the time to do these things will really help you get your holiday prep off to a great start. Set aside a day before things get crazy and check these off your list so you can go into the holiday season confident and ready to go!
We put together a course that helps you do all this and MORE. We want to help you make this the best holiday season yet! Come join the CBR Rock Your Shop Holiday Extravaganza and get your shop and holiday in tip top shape!

Hey rebels! Are you overwhelmed with work and sometimes think, “Maybe I should hire someone?” Well, we are thinking about it too! In this episode, we chat all about hiring: how to know if you are ready to hire, what kind of person you should hire, how hiring is an investment and even how to handle payroll. We truly think that you should think of hiring as an investment in your business’ growth and use it as a time to move your business forward. We also chat about tasks and how to keep a running list of things you can delegate. This was a highly requested episode so we hope this gives you some ideas on when and who to hire and how to make the most of it.

Hey Rebels! We are so excited to have Dorothy Collier on the show this week! Dorothy Collier is the mixed media artist of Dorothy Art and the host of Positively Creative, a podcast for creative entrepreneurs. While growing up in the south, running around her grandmother’s antique shops, she quickly found a love for all things unique…and antique. By painting oil on canvas, using backgrounds of paper from weathered books, Dorothy’s pieces become narrative. She paints to create a sense of whimsical beauty and in some pieces, hopes to prompt the viewer into a child-like happiness. She uses simplistic elements to mirror her folk art influences and enjoys using quick gestural lines to give the vintage subjects a strong, soulful voice. Dorothy received her B.A. in Studio Art and Psychology from the University of Mississippi in 2009 and her MAT in Art Education at the University of Memphis in 2011. She resides in Memphis, Tennessee with her husband, John, their new addition, Johnny, and their yorkie, Oxford. Dorothy’s work appears in private home collections and gift retailers throughout the southeast.
Quote Love from Dorothy
Hiring Creatives is the best thing!
Create collections and give yourself a due date.
Apply! It doesn’t hurt to apply.
