855. How To Find Value In The Challenging Times

Posted on by Nick

Chris and I believe that if we only did things that we wanted to do each day, we would eventually get bored because we would lack purpose and challenge. I’m working really hard on embracing the growth and learning experiences that are being presented to me through Lite Pink, and I wanted to share a little more of that journey with you all today. Chris and I discuss why your ideal days might not actually be what you’ve dreamed they’d be because so much of our happiness comes from getting over obstacles. We talk about how we’re learning to embrace the tough days right now instead of wishing them away and waiting for a life that doesn’t have them.

854. How To Grow Your Brick-And-Mortar Business With The Boutique Hub Founder, Ashley Alderson

Posted on by Nick

Ashley Alderson is a mom of 3, wife, founder of the Boutique Hub, cancer survivor and host of the Boutique Chat Podcast. Growing up in rural North Dakota, Ashley loved fashion, but felt like it was reserved for people living in New York or LA. However, she noticed that small boutiques brought in fashion for everyone. They helped her feel independent, beautiful, confident and unique, regardless of where she was living. She then created Boutique Hub to foster a community for boutique owners and provide the latest tools and strategies in the industry to help them grow. 

On today’s episode, we discuss how she overcame her small town girl imposter syndrome to eventually create a network of over 50,000 boutique owners. She shares some of the major roadblocks that she’s had to work through, what keeps her focused and motivated as an entrepreneur and how she’s transformed her mindset around money. We also talk about the upcoming Boutique Summit and what she hopes people will take away from that event.
