Dec 4, 2023
With host retail coach Wendy Batten
https://wendybatten.com/186/
Show Notes:
Q4 proves time and again that it is the most stressful
quarter of the year for retail shop owners – but it doesn’t have to
be! Inside this episode of the podcast, I’m encouraging you to
CHOOSE JOY: to change your mindset around how you are “supposed” to
feel this time of year while running your retail business. Instead
of finishing this year strong (as we so often hear), I’m
encouraging you to end the year HAPPY.
Topics We’ll Cover in This Episode:
-
How your vibe and energy affect
how others are feeling in your shop -
Why you need to reframe your
“yeah, but” responses -
The best way to respond to
compliments -
Reframing your “have to’s” and
“should’s” into “get to’s” -
The power of simply making a
decision and moving on -
Reframing our expectations of our
customers and our staff -
Flipping the script and detaching
yourself from bad outcomes -
Sleeping in and baking cookies…
unconventional advice this time of year perhaps? Oh well, I said
what I said! -
Reflecting on what went right
If you are feeling stressed during this time of year
in your retail shop, I hope this episode gives you a glimpse into
what it might look like if you flipped the script this holiday
season and chose joy and happiness over stress and hustle. I
promise this mindset will bring you more joy as we finish out
2023.

About your host, Wendy Batten
In case we haven’t met yet, I’m Wendy, a small
business coach and founder of the
Retailer’s Inner Circle, where I help other independent shop
owners learn how to gain the right business skillsets to see more
profits, paychecks, and joy as they navigate running their retail
business.
Through online classes, business coaching programs,
speaking, and a top-ranked podcast,
I’ve helped hundreds of retailers around the globe reclaim their
dream and see the success they want from their beautiful shops. My
signature private coaching community, The
Retailer’s Inner Circle, has helped retailers around the world
build their retail business skill sets and confidence.
I am proud to have been featured in several major
publications, including my own business column in What Women Create
magazine. I have been privileged to be a guest on top-ranked
podcasts and sought-after as a guest speaker and teacher for
several brands, associations, and communities that are passionate
about the success of independent retailers.
When I’m not coaching, you will find me either DIYing
and renovating my very imperfect old crooked cottage by the sea in
the UNESCO World Heritage town of Lunenburg, NS, or blogging about
our travel and RVing adventures and the weird fun things we get up
to in our coastal village. I’d love to invite you to check out one
