Failure, growth, mistakes and success are all part of running a slow fashion business.

Have you reflected on your 2023 in business? I have, and it’s been a beautiful way to step back and see business for what it is: a mishmash of success and failure, mistakes and growth.

It’s all part of it.

You can’t have success without failure, but I kind of don’t believe in the word failure anyway because it’s just learning.

And you can’t have growth without mistakes, and I kind of don’t believe in that word either because you have to try things to see what works and what doesn’t.

If you’re running an ethical, sustainable, circular or slow fashion brand, you’re not doing it right if you haven’t experienced success and failure, mistakes and growth, because they’re all part of it.

No one gets it right 100% of the time.

No one wakes up with a successful brand without first making a few mistakes.

No one has the magic formula to make millions, you just have to keep working outside your comfort zone, learning, and be willing to be open to new things, change and possibilities.

If you’re reflecting on 2023 and you’re ready to step it up in 2024, try new things, work outside your comfort zone and build a business you love with the support of a slow fashion community by your side, you need this.

This is going to be my best year yet. Want to come with me on the ride?

Claire.
