Question from Anonymous

Hi, I'm Ayaka from Japan. I'm planning to visit NYC to take this class. I would like to ask about one concern. Do you have textbook or materials of this class? Actually English is my second language, so I'm afraid that I can't understand some parts because of language skill. But if you have materials, it will be helpful to understand important things as much as possible.

Answer from Laura W. Verified Student

The class was mostly conversational. There were some good handouts but no textbook. I flew from Minnesota to NYC for the class and feel it was well worth it!

I believe that this class is for someone who knows nothing about business 101. I do not think this should be a pre-requisite to any other classes especially if your already business savvy. I was kinda disappointed to see that it wasnt more organized and so simple. I was disappointed that it seemed like a principals was bunched together in a small amount of time for $225. Theories explained seemed more so off the top of head not concisely put. Fashion is anal. And i came expecting that. Although if you come with a ton of questions she will answer but again, its not alot of time. My suggestions for all newbies go to a free business workshop first. Learn everything you can about a business plans, financing, marketing fashion specifically. Have questions, ideas, samples and financing ready. If not your better off paying the consulting fee when you’re ready to launch and asking all questions then. The manufacturing process is also intense and i do suggest taking that class especially when you dont know anything at all. But again I give it three stars because it could have been so much more to it had the claas been more time to go over everything. I actually am taking another one. Even if we didnt have alot of time, a more written detailed reference would suffice especially for those who dont have the experience.

Reviewed by Laura W. on 6/11/2018

This class was phenomenal for a variety of levels, whether brand new or with previous study and experience. I learned a lot and have an action plan for my next steps, plus the support of Michelle for my future questions. She encouraged us to call, email, and invite her to our launches! I look forward to taking another of her classes or using her consulting services as my business develops.
