We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Isabella Barrett. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Isabella below.
Isabella , thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. Let’s jump right into the heart of things. Outsiders often think businesses or industries have much larger profit margins than they actually do – the reason is that outsiders are often unaware of the biggest challenges to profitability in various industries – what’s the biggest challenge to profitability in your industry?
One important thing to always remember when starting a business is things will not happen overnight . Hardwork and perseverance pays off . I started my brand as a small website and attended as many Netwerk meetings and events as I could. Don’t be afraid to promote yourself no matter where you are at the grocery store, the dentist, even the mall.
Isabella , love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?

What’s a lesson you had to unlearn and what’s the backstory?
I have always been an serial entrepreneur. My first business was one of my most successful. The brand was called Glitzy Girl and it was a jewelry line for kids and teens. The brand offered wear your wins accomplishment bracelets for client’s in Gymnastics, Dance , and Cheer where they could buy charms that said the level or award they had won.. The line become widely popular with Dance Competitions and Cheer Convention’s making the company a multi million dollar business and making Isabella Barrett one of the youngest selfmade millionaires in the USA .
We often hear about learning lessons – but just as important is unlearning lessons. Have you ever had to unlearn a lesson?
After my first successful company I made other investments that I thought would be just as successful but they didn’t match up to my first success. At first this was very disheartening but I learned the trial and error of failing and now my clothing line has flourished because of the lessons that I learned.
The overall advice is to never give up and take your failures as learning experiences for your next success.
