Ep. 29 – From Floundering to Happy Dancing With Christine Law From the Outdoor Table

Shownotes

People buy from people. Yes your online store comes through a computer screen but the more human you can make your brand, the more relatable it becomes. And now more than ever we are craving connection. 

In today’s episode, we chat with Christine Law, the founder of The Outdoor Table. She launched her store in 2015 and ran the website herself. Now, her business has generated enough recognition that it is starting to attract corporate interest.

Christine walks us through the steps she took to grow her business to where it is now and talks about the opportunities that have come her way… and how she made sure she was ready to seize them when they did. 

We also share a bunch of tips so tune in if you’re running an online store as a side hustle or if your business has yet to find traction.
