Many of us open or start our businesses without a business plan, a formal education, or any guidance or mentorship regarding running a retail business.

And this isn’t a judgment of anyone—this was ME! I started my business without any plan, mentorship, or education, too.

When we open, we tend to think about the basics. But there comes a time where we have to step up, be the CEO, and do the hard work of leading our business rather than just working in it. In today’s episode, I’m sharing the six critical ways you can up-level to CEO, so you can work on your business instead of in it. Listen in to learn what steps to take and how to go from “I don’t know 😬” to confident retail CEO 💪. For show notes, visit www.savvyshopkeeper.com/episode70

The Savvy Shopkeeper community recently participated in our annual survey. I asked shopkeepers about their business models, their revenue numbers, the support they’re looking for, and their feedback on all things Savvy Shopkeeper. I learned so much from the survey results and gained so much insight into our community. Today, I’m sharing the survey results with you so you can learn from them, too.
