A positive effect of this tragic Pandemic is it’s helping creative retailers who I coach to take a honest look at their business and really ask deep questions, like:

Why am I in business?

What is my purpose here?

Am I doing everything I can to lay strong business foundations to make my retail shop a viable and profitable business? 

Am I committed?

It’s not a bad thing to be attached to our retail businesses. But if we’re going to really commit to success, we can’t drift anymore and we can’t wing it anymore.

It’s not going to be easy, but it’s time to evaluate your goals and level of commitment. Listen to this episode to hear stories of what other retailers are deciding and accomplishing, and how they are pivoting.
