213: What's Possible In Independent Retail

As indie retail store owners, it's all too easy to focus on the negative. We're always thinking about which stores are closing, what's to blame for industry-wide difficulties, and how each new hurdle might lead to our store failing. 

And while our glass-half-empty view isn't surprising (we're only human, after all!), we can and SHOULD try to change our mindset. Celebrating our successes gives us proof that we can accomplish even bigger goals in the future. 

It can be hard to celebrate our accomplishments though, especially when we're stuck in a negative mindset. That's why I'm sharing some examples of what's possible in independent retail today! Listen in to hear success stories and wins from the Savvy Shopkeeper community—and teach your brain that you can do that, too.
