The advice in this book covers not only the particular aspects of opening a clothing store, but it offers some general business advice as well. The topics presented cover a very wide range of subjects such as choosing the right location, handling all the financial aspects of the business, getting and keeping the customers and many other things, some specific for the boutique business and some more general but equally important. It is obvious that Briana Stewart has done some extensive research on this matter and I believe she must have some practical experience as well. This is the second book I read from her and I am really impressed by how easy to understand and practical her advice is.
I was really worried with the other reviews of this that this might be a bit of a lemon but I was pleasantly surprised.

I've bought this and the previous book and they are good places to start, fairly short they've given me a good idea whether or not this business may be for me before wasting the money. I like how straight forwards this guide is, it really gives you the groundwork basics of running a small business without the fairy tale that you'll be making buckets of cash instantly. Also the fact that this is a short book makes it a quick easy read you can fit in to any schedule and you don't necessarily have to read the other book first to know where this is going.
