mentorship session focused on modesty dressing and abayas
I found the mentorship session with the director on modesty dressing and abayas to be incredibly insightful.
I truly appreciated her expertise and the thoughtful guidance she provided. The session was very valuable I book for 1 hour session but it end up more than 2hours. I thoroughly enjoyed the mentorship session. Bella passion for and understanding of modesty dressing was evident, and I gained a wealth of knowledge.

Amazing first session with Bella, more to come
We had an amazing session with Bella, it simply changed everything we thought we knew about this business. Guys, honestly, if you're planning on starting a fashion related business, no matter where you're planning on sourcing, Türkiye or elsewhere, you're going to love working with her. She's not only EXTREMELY knowledgeable in all things fashion related, but a very pleasant person as well. We're going to continue getting advice from her every step of the way.
So much value for your money !!
I paid for an hour‘s consultation but got THREE HOURS instead. 3 hours of Annabel just opening my eyes to insights for launching and running my boutique. She has vast knowledge of the industry and was willing to answer and expand on all the questions and doubts I had. I was amazed by the time she took to give me very detailed information on my next steps including an extensive summary of our conversation. That’s someone who genuinely wants to help !! I will be here for a long time and would highly recommend her professional service . 10/10
It is worth it!
I attended a session on business startup led by Annabel John, and it was an incredibly insightful experience. The session covered everything from idea validation to funding options, and I left with a clear understanding of the steps needed to launch a successful business. Annabel provided practical advice and real-world examples that made the concepts easy to grasp. Annabel gives you all necessary information about the wholesale sellers in Turkey, she recommends which Suppliers would be for your wanted style.
I highly recommend nobarriersgrowth.com to anyone!
Annabel is amazing
Annabel is amazing. First, the professionalism and the way she welcomed us was unmatched. We had a great time in Turkey, learned a lot from the class, from creating a mood board, to vetting the quality of clothing to making a collection and so forth. We had a schedule at the beginning of the class with specific goals for each day. Annabel was very accommodating, she will stay with us in the hotel to like 2-3am in the morning making sure we covered all we needed to do. Not to talk of the PowerPoint summaries she created for us. She exceed our expectations. Will great recommend the master class to anyone
Thank you so much dear, you did not just end after the class but kept answering our questions after the class. You are the best.
Thank you again for being a great mentor.
New Retail Start-up Consultation meeting With Annabel
I had a consultation with Annabel
Wow! I am in the startup phase and new to the industry. I left the consultation feeling more empowered, excited! Annabel ensured that she covered so many retail and manufacturing industry with her depth of knowledge. I was able to identify my knowledge gaps and broaden my understanding of what I already knew from a better perspective.
I was so engaged in our conversation, taking notes that I did not see I had surpassed my consultation time. Annabel was patient and went above and beyond what I had anticipated for our meeting.
I left the consultation with action points to help me take successful steps in the right direction.
This was a good investment.
I'm very glad I found Annabel's NBG from my simple Google search results. I learned a ton from this one-hour consulting session with her and realized that I needed better prep and the right direction to tackle this grand journey of starting my first fashion business. Because of this, I see clearly now where to focus on for the next step, which would have been completely missed hadn't I chosen to take this session.
I highly recommend her consultation to anyone who wants to start taking action towards building a business of fashion under their ownership.

I paid for a one-hour mentorship session and it exceeded my expectations. Not only did she provide me with manufacturers' contact details in Turkey, but she also gave me a marketing plan and tips for writing a thorough business plan. I would recommend this service 1,000 times over if you are looking for advice and direction to start up your clothing business. NBG is definitely the best place to start.
An invaluable contributor to our success in the fashion industry
My experience has been nothing short of amazing. I reached out to NBG after having frustrating prior experiences with YouTubers that would encourage me to sign up for their training only for me to find out later they didn’t want to share any details or specifics about how to startup my business, it was all general overview information that I could’ve googled myself. Annabel has been very unselfish in sharing specifics that can accelerate my fashion business, from providing detailed templates and coaching for my business plan, to financial calculators to estimate company profits, to details regarding sourcing vendors for clothing and even the packaging for shipping. She’s extremely well versed in the fashion industry and challenged me to deep dive customer needs to better target my marketing efforts and also provided the “tools” to do that, not just general words. Her relationships with fashion vendors are key to ensuring I can source high quality clothing, with organic fabric options, that are shipped in record timing (compared to other countries I was sourcing from). Her expertise has given our business the necessary insight to reach a broader market and increase our customer base. Our company sees NBG as an invaluable contributor to our success and will continue to work with them for the years to come. I have avoided weeks of travel and sourcing time by being able to rely on her trusted buyers.
Annabel found of NBG is Amazing!!!!!!!
I came across NBG on YouTube. I immediately booked a consultation with Annabel. After a few meetings, I learned that I needed to change the direction of my brand. Both quality and sourcing of our products. I got on the plane and met with Annabel in Istanbul. Meeting up with Annabel in the Fashion Hub was the best decision I have made in the existence of my business. Annabel was very professional, kind and very knowledgeable. Together we put curated a unique and one of a kind collection for my store following a specific color pallet. The collection sold out in no time. Using the skills and knowledge from that trip, I have been able to restock for my store correctly and our brand has continued to grow steadily. Thank you Annabel!!

She goes through the process step by set, and she has a huge knowledge in the industry, deal with suppliers, the quality for your target client, marketing and she can make your collection come to life! I can't thank her enough for everything I learned and all the learning curve I was able to save, that means save time and money.
I recommend NBG's services to anyone looking to start a fashion business
I had a mentorship session with Annabel and it exceeded all my expectations. In one session we covered the essentials of creating a fashion business plan and customer profile. We spent time analysing my current business and a few business ideas I have been working on. It was really valuable seeing examples of other businesses customer profiles, to see the quality of document I should be aiming for. I plan to book further sessions once I've prepared a draft business plan.
Annabel and team are fantastic
Annabel and team are fantastic. From bookings to scheduling to timely communication, everything worked seamlessly. The insight, guidance and direction I received during my session are invaluable. Annabel gave so much without holding back. The practical steps are exactly what I needed to get going and I'm glad to continue under her mentorship.
