## Resource

Are you constantly playing catch-up in your business instead of feeling in control? If you’re making inventory decisions based on what’s running low or what just sold, it’s not a time problem, but a planning problem. In this episode, I break down why your business feels reactive and how that’s costing you growth, profit, and peace of mind. I share how to shift from last-minute decisions into proactive, backwards planning, how to create a clear production timeline, and why your calendar should guide your decisions. Tune in to learn how to plan smarter and get out of reactive mode. In This Episode, You’ll Learn: 00:00 Why does reactive inventory keep you stuck? 03:00 What the fashion industry taught me about planning ahead. 06:45 The Lead, Run, Grow framework for scalable systems. 07:30 The 4 signs your business is running reactively. 11:00 How to map your production timeline using Anchor Dates. 13:00 Why relying only on platforms like Faire can keep you reactive. 15:15 Why implementation matters more than more information.
