001: Sarah's Subscription Box Journey - How I Launched a Subscription Box, Built a Thriving Business, and Changed My Life

Launch Your Box Podcast Episode 1 Show Notes   Welcome to the first episode of the Launch Your Box Podcast! My name is Sarah Williams, founder of the Framed Monogram Box and new host of this podcast! I’m so excited to start sharing some of the things I’ve learned over the years and to help you learn some tips, tricks and strategies to help you get started on your own subscription box!   “The process doesn’t always start with a grand scale.”   All entrepreneurs have different stories of how they began their journey. When I started out, I left a corporate retail job to start my own retail space where I could have more freedom and opportunity to make success on my own. The one thing that is common, the thing that holds everyone back is fear: I was terrified of giving up my regular paycheck. I think that’s something we all fear!   “My mantra is: I’m not afraid of failing, I’m afraid of not trying.”   Ask yourself: what happens if I succeed? I set out to have a brick-and-mortar space that I could work out of. I didn’t even have an online store! Where I found my passion was with my regular customers and an idea of how I could create a VIP experience for them. Today, I ship thousands of subscription boxes to my customers across the country.   Being open to what it means to succeed can be just as important as taking that first step. What success means for you may not be what success means for everyone else. It takes putting yourself out there, doing it, and just keep getting better at it.   I can’t wait to share my story with all of you and ideas to help you get started on your own subscription box idea!
