Add on top - funding and staffing - it’s enough to send even an experienced business owner running for the hills.

We take all the guesswork out of the process in this 2-hour workshop including Q&A on our most-asked questions about opening your store.

"We weren’t planning on going through the course, because spending money that we are already not making just didn’t seem like a good option. However, we decided to invest in ourselves instead of investing in new product for a short time, and it ended up to be a good investment."

Nick and Alisha

The mistake most people make is they think the “do-it-yourself” route is cheaper. What they don’t take into account is how slow and ineffective that can be.

Or worse...the costs associated with every mistake you make along the way (Hello….$4K in architect bills before a lease had even been signed…)

This is your chance to learn from someone who’s been there and done that (and has the scars to prove it) so you can open your store faster and with less stress.

And the best part is...skipping to the head of the line with me is only $127.

Teach me your ways

Wondering if you can afford something like this when you’re not even sure how you’re going to fund your shop?

Oh, baby, I have sure been there! Let me ask you this: Can you afford not to? A lot of time and money has gone into acquiring this knowledge and experience and I am eager to share it with you! 

Yep, even if you’re not 100% sure what you will sell or where you will sell it or who you will sell it to. This training is for you!! It will give you clarity and help to determine whether or not this is the right path for you.

You’ll walk away from this training feeling…

  • Clear on the kind of zero waste shop you want to open and WHY you want to open it
  • Inspired knowing that you play an important role in the sustainability movement
  • Confident about the next step on your shop owning journey
  • And ready to go from zero to (zero waste) hero!

A Note From Stephanie...

Opening Scoop Marketplace was one of the most challenging and proudest achievements of my life. I had so many fears and questions along the way and was so thankful for the support of a few key mentors, and for my own willingness to show up, do the work and risk failing. 

The sustainability movement is growing at a rapid rate and we are here, at this moment in history, perfectly poised to lead our community and planet to a healthier future.

I know you have questions and that often times the things we resist most are those that are unknown. I also know how debilitating that fear can be. Marie Forleo says that “Fear is not the enemy. Waiting to stop feeling afraid is the enemy.” Finding answers to your questions and getting to glimpse someone else’s roadmap will help you to take positive action in the face of the unknown.

There are few things I love more than teaching and serving people and I have prepared this workshop to get to the heart of your shop owning goals and motivation, answer your questions to validate and quiet your fears, share my mistakes and triumphs, and get you started down the best path for you.

I can’t wait to see you there!

Stephanie
