A successful entrepreneur knows that creating the product is only 10% of the work, selling it is 90% of the work. Entrepreneurs can be manufacturers producing a line and selling it to others, a store owner producing a line and selling it in the owner’s store or a store owner selling clothes from independent designers. All need to know how a well-made garment is designed and produced—as well as how to market it.
