Welcome back to episode 2 of Female Startup Club, this one’s a quickie. My name is Doone and if you’re new here, let me bring you up to speed. I’m a year and a half into my own entrepreneurial journey with my sparkly jewellery brand called Kincs and I started this little corner of the internet to connect with all the badass female founders that I’m inspired by on the reg - and all you really need to know is that by subscribing to all the cool stuff we’re putting out there, you’ll have knowledge, tips, tactics and strategies delivered straight to your ears / straight to your inbox and straight to your social media from the world’s most successful female founders entrepreneurs, and women in biz! I’ve created this space for women-in-progress (like myself!) to learn more, get inspired and take action to getting what you want out of your career.This next mini ep that you’re about to hear is actually out of the regular 6 Q’s format that I’ve been harping on about since Female Startup Club launched. Elyse Daniels is a well seasoned founder, she’s 10 years into her business creating customised jackets for dance wear for groups of more than 25 people and she’s had a bunch of crazy success - my most favourite being that JUSTIN BIEBER wore one of her customised jackets… I KNOW. Let that sink in for a second. Anyway, she’s currently going through the sale of her biz at the moment and when we caught up before filming this ep she was telling me about what it was like on the journey of finding a business partner, and how her friends likened it to single life and the big bad scary world of dating. Soo I’m just jumping in her to remind you that throughout the ep she’s talking about finding her business partner and how it’s pretty same same to finding a lover partner: it’s not a recap not of her actual dating life - LOL. Make sure you’ve subscribed to the FemaleStartupClub.com newsletter to have her 6 Q’s delivered straight to your inbox. The 6 Q’s we’re asking women all over the world: * What’s your why? * What was the thing that made your biz pop? * How do you win the day? * Where do you hang out to get smarter? * When faced with failure how did you deal with it and what did you learn?* If you only had $1000 left in your biz bank account, where would you spend it? You can check out her biz here: https://www.exoduswear.com.au/ and find her on Instagram @elysedaniels. AND you can find me (Doone) on Instagram @dooneroisin with the real life interview videos with female founders and a lot more questions I’ve been asking at @femalestartupclub. If you get something out of this episode please subscribe and share on social media so other women-in-progress can access the knowledge as well.

What a great conversation we had this week with Elyse Daniels… no topic too big or too small! Elyse made her fortune from her company Exodus Wear which makes bespoke uniforms and apparel for the education sector and clubs & societies. Elyse has great experience navigating the minefield of Asian manufacturers and she also has some heartwarming tales to tell about being on the brink.   See some of Elyse’s top tips below: **  Nothing can prepare you more for starting a business than being a salesperson. **  Don’t be too hung up on the grades of your employees. People can get good grades by just memorising words. **  Samples can seal the deal. A good sample shows your commitment to the client. **  If you’re successful in business be very careful about changing your fundamentals. It can be tempting to keep innovating, but if you’ve already nailed your formula, don’t ruin it! **  When it comes to manufacturers, don’t put all your eggs in one basket. Always have backup suppliers.     In this episode of Business Brain Food you will learn: **  How to work with family **  The importance of sales skills **  Elyse’s most effective marketing tool **  Global manufacturing headaches **  The power of mentorship **  The dangers of growth     Resources mentioned in this episode: **  Become a Business Excelerator with MaxMyProfit here **  Elyse’s course “How to manufacture your products in China” can be found here **  Elyse’s company website: https://www.exoduswear.com.au/ **  Elyse’s YouTube channel can be found here **  All previous BBF episodes & show notes can be found at http://www.businessbrainfood.com.au **  Twitter: https://twitter.com/bfewtrell   Call to action: We’ll leave you with this corker of a quote that Elyse suggested we all listen to, courtesy of Linkedin founder Reid Hoffman: “An entrepreneur is someone who jumps off a cliff and builds a plane on the way down.” Also, if you are enjoying these Business Brain Food podcasts, then make sure to share them via social media sites or email the links to family and friends. A lot of time and effort goes into producing each of these podcasts with the goal in mind of the more people we can inspire about business the better. You can help us do just that!   Until next time, have a profitable day! Cheers, Ben Fewtrell 02 8808 5500

Why Exodus Wear does not use an online customization tool - and instead prefers to have students hand-draw their jackets designs. Why Elyse isn't worried about competing on price. Not starting a culture of discounting.
