"Always start with your local store and become a local hero. That's how you get attention, you start to get people who become your local cheerleaders. You don't want to scale too quickly, you don't want to take out a big loan until you start to sell, see what works, what doesn't work. And then when you have all the bugs out of the line, then you can go further and further."
As part of Shopify's Build A Business Competition, Daymond John lays out his keys to successfully creating a fashion powerhouse. While the focus is on fashion, Daymond's advice on lean growth and partnerships applies to all businesses.
Each week we release a new video from one of our mentors: Tim Ferriss, Daymond John, Eric Ries and Tina Roth Eisenberg.
Come up with a product to sell, open an online store using Shopify, and start selling. Compete for over $500,000 in cash, prizes and mentorship!

Insightful video making some very good points.
Well, that was marvelous!
Good advice thanks
I like this kind of talk when it comes to business: straight to the point, clear and practical
do you interested to start this type of business.
I saw Daymond John, sitting on the floor at M.A.G.I.C. in Vegas (late 90's). He gave me his card. He was sincere in his effort to succeed. I had my dreams too, but no where near the support. I learned so much from him in his short sales pitch, I believe he showed me how real it can be. #Respect
I like how honest he is in trying to help nobodies...b/c I think he was once broke...or whatever.
megasif ... you're not a 'nobody' you're a 'yet to be somebody'. Good luck!!

Hello, I would like to know your tips on launching a clothing line? I have reviewed the video and great advice is listed. Is there a way to obtain hands on experience from one of your fellow business partners or business ventors?
Really valuable information. Thanks for sharing Mr. John.
Excellent video with practical advice. Thanks for sharing!
Planning on building a fashion brand and this was the best advice I've came across. Thanks!!!
All entrepreneurs are smart people,and Daymond is of no exception.
Great advice! Looking to start a doggie fashion and jewelry line. Thanks for the advice.
Great idea truly!!. I came up with a small dog clothing and accessory line and It was a great one. But to do It just for the money with no passion was a bad idea for me. So good luck with your line and work hard and It will be successful for sure.

I started simply by nesting my community in. I didn't worry about the states around me, I knew that if I got people talking, it'll spread and it did quickly. Rookie Rise Clothing.
+Rookie Rise Hey I am also starting my own business.. can I give you my contact info? I would love to hear how you have grown and be successful.

Hey guys! I'm really sorry but I am rarely on youtube, nor do I leave comments. Just wanted to say thanks for digging our stuff! Really means a lot and keeps us going!
It almost impossible to find a local seamstress to make me clothes from scratch unless I do it myself. Most of them just alter.
I would agree and disagree with you. One way you could find some talented and quality seamstress' is going to a community college that holds sewing classes and find some people who are interested. It will help you and that person get exposure and experience. I did that exact thing and now have 3 awesome people on my team. If theres a will, there is a way. Good luck
*****
I took 1 sewing class in the beginning of the year at Joannes being the only guy in the class but cant afford nor have transportation to get there everyday so I'm hitting videos and books. I'll hit meet ups and fashion shows If possible. The advice in this video is gold on making and selling a few pieces 1st testing the waters than bulk and not sell a damn thing. Thanks.
*****
Aight.
👍
great freaking advice. respect my brother
I really wish I could work with Daymond. It would be a great opportunity
Darius Maraca is a new clothing line that's coming real soon I want to thank the shopify team and the mentors iam learning a lot from you'll .. God Bless please keep feeding me the business. and you can check us out on face book Darius Marca clothing
Dang what a great advices!
This was great! Ive been searching high and low for inventory for my online boutique and have yet to find anything that fits my vision and meets the needs of my particular niche. Now, Im considering manufacturing my own or finding a manufacturer that does private labeling, in addition to finding wholesale inventory that meets my requirements. Still, Im not 100% positive on which way to go. I will now weigh the options thanks!
Well, that's your opinion @maniere atelier. You shouldn't Judge a person by how they look, but by their character.
What Maniere said is not an opinion, it is a fact. You will not find any business men of his stature wearing two earings. We're talking major business men like Mark Cuban, Trump, Bloomberg or the rest of the male panel on Shark Tank wearing earings. Remember image is everything and there is a reason why he is the only one that has them on. If you are truly a powerful man you can not come across soft or weak and having earings on does that. Notice all of the other men are either billionaires or have more money than him. You have to understand symbolism and how things work.
Jay Amor This guy is doing incredible things with the earrings. Cuban is one of the few billionaires on Shark Tank. Let's see you pull off what this guy is accomplishing.
he looks like the business man version of Carmelo Anthony
Carmelo anthony is the businessman version of carmelo anthony.. btw he looks nothing like carmelo anthony
ROFL
Gained some good information from this
if you're looking for an upcoming clothing line look up hollowapparelco on instagram and find the one that says think logic dude
How necessary is college if i want to do something like this?
Not necessary but helps.
luke padia Fuck college... the best school is just to learn by trial and error! Experience is the best teacher 💯
luke padia
College is useless in 2017 if you want to be an entrepreneur
where can I get contacts to whole salers from the united states ?
stick bug
....wow
I am wondering if your building your own brand or are you having to bend down to ebay and amazon?
Go intern somewhere as if it's that easy right...

Great story and advice. But that moustache.
The man trying to teach you something and you worrying about his looks?
Nicole Saunders
Stay focused
Problem is People don't just stumble across shopify accounts, you have to advertise it and that DOES COST ALOT OF MONEY
john egan No I dont... 2 words... Social Media!
FUBU sucks, but you gave some good advice.
Why FUBU sucks? Pls explain.
+Wealth Manifested I never found it appealing, my opinion. Stylistically, I was never impressed.
Okay. Fashion to me is more of a story and says so much. Its truly a great original ashy to classy story. ~ Wealth Manifested
+Wealth Manifested agree to disagree. You obviously did well with it, when it was out.
Sure. ~Wealth Manifested
LOL, can you give more basic advice.
Where is his mustache? He looks weird.
I want to sell sanitary pads for men because no one does that I think I would be rich.
