133: Business Failures & Becoming an Entrepreneur in Fashion w/ Showpo Founder Jane Lu

Author: Aileen Xu December 29, 2019 Duration: 33:24
"No one shops online." Today, that sentence sounds ridiculous – some of us only stop online. But back when Jane Lu was just starting her entrepreneurship journey, that sentence resulted in the failure of her first business venture. Almost a decade later, Jane is the self-proclaimed "Lazy CEO" and founder of Showpo, Australia's fastest growing online fashion retailer. But what if that first failure convinced Jane to quit entrepreneurship altogether? In this episode, Jane shares her journey from pretending to have a job to please her parents (even while living with them!) to propelling Showpo to success with the power of social media. → Show notes & quotes at lavendaire.com/lifestyle-133 → 2020 Artist of Life Workbook | shop.lavendaire.com
