If you're serious about launching in the next year, here's exactly where I'd start.

• Write an honest list of what's been holding you back so far

• List what you've been spending time on that isn't actually moving you closer to launch and consider dropping it

• Give yourself at least 6–9 months

• Start a visual mood board (Pinterest or Canva) of styles, colours and fabrics you love

• Get real about the time and money you can commit each week or month

• Ask yourself: how would I feel if someone else launched this exact idea next year?
