The challenge of every Retail business or Fashion Designer is
How to better handle project management?
It is about Art and Science.
One approach you do not want to forget is dead easy and can be summed up in the
6 Ws.
Every aspiring Designer will believe that he/she has the ability, skills, experience to become a Designer and set up and launch a global fashion brand.
And they are right.
Believing in yourself is the first step towards success. However it is not the only one.
EXERCISE
Go and interview 10 Designers and ask them to honestly answer a few questions about their journey in the Fashion world.
Make them think about past specific events, opportunities or challenges and ask them to give you the context, process and logic around the decisions that were made.
If they were to go back to that time but with the insight of today's experience, what would they do differently and why.
You must remember the Chinese proverb:
Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day;
teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.
In Fashion, why do business owners prefer to just receive a fish every day?
ie rather than be trained how to fish.
The most frequent question we receive at GFM is:
I just want a Buyer!
Just find me an Agent!

What will break or make your business succeed is time and priority management.
How do you rate yourself?
Do you regularly procrastinate tasks which are important in the business?
Do you just focus on the easy ones?
Do you only focus on the ones you love doing or those which are urgent but not important?
Let's check what other Business people say about Time Management and let's review some other great quotes from business leaders or successful people ...
Douglas Reid - Xerox Corp
"Management has the responsibility to explain to the employee how the routine job contributes to the business's objective. If management cannot explain the value of the job, then it should be eliminated and the employee reassigned."
Anthony Robbins- Motivational Speaker
"If you do what you've always done, you'll get what you 've always gotten."
Richard Branson - Founder Virgin Group
“One of my favorite tricks is to conduct most of my meetings standing up. I find it to be a much quicker way of getting down to business, making a decision and sealing the deal. When given the opportunity I often like to take things a step further – literally, with a walking meeting.”
“I think the number one thing that I take with me when I’m traveling is the notebook… I could never have built the Virgin Group into the size it is without those few bits of paper.” “If you have a thought but don’t write it down, by the next morning it may be gone forever.”
Read those from Warren Buffet, Malcolm Forbes ...
Get real. It's time to wake up.
It's not a time to learn, it's a time to sell.
In a nutshell, this is the answer we get from most Young Designers and SMEs (and retailers).
If you love videos then this one is for you: 4 reasons why we fail!
When we speak to Brands or those working with Brands, Fashion Brands just want to sell. They are just looking for buyers.
So Brands are in no way interested to learn how to do things.
A Chinese Proverb states
Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day;
Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.

A LITTLE STORY THAT CAN HAPPEN TO ALL OF US
A young woman went to her mother and told her about her life and how things were so hard for her. She did not know how she was going to make it and wanted to give up. She was tired of fighting and struggling. It seemed as one problem was solved, a new one arose.
Her mother took her to the kitchen. She filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire. Soon the pots came to boil. In the first she placed carrots, in the second she placed eggs, and in the last she placed ground coffee beans. She let them sit and boil; without saying a word.
Building a Fashion Brand is a marathon.
In this exercise of setting up, managing and growing the Brand, you need funding and you may need to convince an investor.
