Community Over Competition with Design Maker, Scarlett Howell

EP. 032

In the world of small businesses, the idea of collaboration over competition becomes crucial for growth and success. By supporting other businesses instead of trying to out-do them, owners can create an environment where everyone thrives together. Sharing knowledge, resources, and ideas can significantly improve the overall quality of businesses, paving the way for a collaborative approach towards progress. 

Also, embracing collaboration can help small business owners stay motivated, energized, and inspired, as they work towards mutual success. 

In the episode, Scarlett Howell shares her experiences with the competitive nature of the boutique world and her belief in collaborating with others. She stresses the importance of doing things differently by helping others, sharing advice, and learning from one another. This mindset has had a positive impact on her business journey, leading to valuable connections and relationships with other small business owners.
