\nShow Notes<\/span><\/p>\n
\nRunning a retail business doesn\u2019t have to be so hard, but sometimes
\nit can be, right? You want your business to be successful, but
\nsometimes as your business grows you face more challenges and bumps
\nin the road. Today I\u2019m going to share 3 must-have mindset shifts
\nyou need in order to keep growing your successful retail business.
\nI promise today\u2019s episode can change your retail business for the
\nbetter.<\/span><\/p>\n
\nBefore we get started, I wanted to shout out my<\/span>
\nRetailer\u2019s Inner Circle<\/span>.
\nThe retailers in this group are doing the work, supporting each
\nother, and growing so fast – and there is always room for more! If
\nyou need support in your retail business, join me and a community
\nof heart centered, like-minded retailers who are working on
\nbettering their retail businesses. Joining comes with access to
\ncountless masterclasses (some I mention in today\u2019s episode) that
\nyou can work through at your own pace. We meet at least monthly via
\nZoom and our Facebook group is active pretty much daily! If you\u2019ve
\nbeen hesitant, ask yourself why? The monthly investment is low and
\nthe rewards are so high. It\u2019s a vibrant space because of retailers
\nlike you who want to grow their businesses, make more profit, and
\nhave more time in their lives.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
\nTogether we are always working on mindset.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
\nSuccessful retailers need these 3 mindsets.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
\nWhat we cover in the podcast this week.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
\nThree Mindset Shifts You Need for Success<\/span><\/p>\n
\n1.<\/span>
\nCircumstances happen so you need to<\/span>
\nbuild your resilience muscle<\/span>.
\nWe have all had bad things in our businesses: bad buys, bad
\nreviews, a good team member leaves. How do you react when these
\nthings happen? Following the CTFAR model will help you control your
\nthoughts, your feelings, and your reactions. I talk about the CTFAR
\nmodel at length in<\/span>
\nEpisode 172<\/span>.
\nIt makes your resilience muscle stronger; and therefore you can
\nshow up for your team as a better leader. As your resilience muscle
\ngrows, it gets easier to be proactive when things go
\nhaywire.<\/span><\/p>\n
\n2.<\/span>
\nYou need to<\/span>
\nunderstand the mechanics of your retail
\nbusinesses<\/span>.
\nYou need to make decisions based on your data, to know where your
\nmoney is going, to know how the risks you are taking will affect
\nyour retail business etc. The numbers can be scary especially to a
\nlot of us who run creative businesses, but it is crucial to have a
\ngrasp on them. There is a masterclass called Money Matters that
\nyou\u2019ll have access to with your membership to the Retailer\u2019s Inner
\nCircle. The masterclass breaks it down for you so you can be
\nconfident when talking about money and your numbers.<\/span><\/p>\n
\n3.<\/span>
\nYou need to be<\/span>
\nopen to growing, learning, and changing<\/span>.
\nYou cannot stay still in retail. Even if things are going great for
\nyou in your business right now, it likely won\u2019t stay that way if
\nyou aren\u2019t open to evolving and growing in some way. You don\u2019t know
\nwhat you don\u2019t know, right? Growth can only happen when your
\nmindset is open to what is possible for your retail business. What
\nexciting opportunities have you said \u201cno\u201d to because you were
\nnervous? Could you have made it work? Have you shot down the idea
\nof business coaching because you didn\u2019t think you needed it? Let\u2019s
\nchange your mindset around change and see what magic can happen in
\nyour business!<\/span><\/p>\n
