Guest Blogger for CraftMBA Book Club – Rachel Brooks
Hi Everyone! I’d like to introduce myself as well as a guest contributor to the CraftMBA Book Club for the current book Business and the Buddha (also still anxiously waiting on Amazon so I can catch up with the rest of you!).
I’m a new entrepreneur with a special interest in mass customization in apparel. Currently, I am working to develop and launch a line of clothing and accessories that allows customers to customize goods virtually called The Style Cooperative. Also, there’s a community/culture aspect that is important to me as well, which will be my area of focus while reading the book. You can read more about the business and some of my style inspiration musings on my blog, http://thestylesocial.blogspot.com
As I approach the time for the company to officially launch, I’m really looking to develop ways to ensure that the core values and beliefs that drove me to work with apparel stay true in the work that we do. I want to create something unbelievably positive, so it is my hope that this book will help open me to new and positive ways of thinking about business, style, culture, and the people that bring it all together.
Finally, as a newbie to owning a business, I’m most excited to learn from the more seasoned craftsters in business here.
Looking forward to sharing ideas with you!
