One of my favorite parts about the boutique hub and especially our largest coaching program

retail boot camp is the opportunity that I have to go deep with so many boutique owners

to really get to know their business. I'm talking one-on-one calls and understanding what works

and what doesn't and how to make them tick. And one of my favorite students in the last year who I was like,

man, I just really love her heart and her mission, but I love even more how punctual and

tactical she is when it comes to paying herself through her small business. So I couldn't wait

to introduce you guys to somebody who I think

you're going to have so much in common with, but such an opportunity to learn from. And it's my

friend Mary Hill of H2G boutique. Mary and I had an opportunity to get to know each other a lot

better this year again through retail boot camp, but also during some in-person markets in Dallas

when Mary came and

visited us in our showroom. And I hope you guys take that opportunity to come visit us in our

showroom as well. Today, we're going to talk about how Mary has been building her business

without using debt, how she's used it with cash, how she manages her inventory, how they use

profit first and her and her husband pay themselves,

and what their long-term strategy is for growth. I think so often today, and I mentioned this

in the interview with Mary, but I think so often today we just think bigger is better and I have

to take out all these crazy loans and invest in all this inventory and go into massive amounts

of debt and hope that someday I'm going to be able to pay myself back.

But so often anymore, I'm seeing people found themselves in a trap.

And they're paying huge amounts of interest on loans that they had thought they were going to pay off a lot earlier.

And they're wondering where to turn next.
