She Makes [GOALS]: End of Year Assessments and New Year Planning for Small Business

Retail business coach Kathy Cruz of Savvy Shopkeeper joins us on this episode to discuss year-end reviews, tracking metrics, and setting goals. Kathy breaks down how to get more visibility into your numbers, which can also help you figure out a benchmark and get clear on your expectations for the following year. We chat about the mindset and emotional side of this process, particularly for people who are feeling disappointed in their progress. Kathy also shares tools for tracking and analyzing data points, as well as consumer habits that we should all be aware of as we head into 2023. Host: Katy Sensenig SchilthuisCo-Host: Taylor MitchellGuests: Kathy Cruz of Savvy Shopkeeper and The Salvaged Boutique  SHOW NOTES/RESOURCESMention She Makes for a $250 credit toward your Saltbox Logistics Solution at www.saltbox.com Maker Toolbox: Graphic Design: CanvaAccounting and Bookkeeping: QuickbooksOrganization and Project Management: Monday.comCheck out our episode with Sara Baggett about pricingListen to Kathy's episode about how to navigate a recession as a small business owner  She Makes, a podcastwww.shemakesapodcast.com // @shemakesapodcastMosaic Makers Collectivewww.mosaicmakers.co // @mosaicmakersco Savvy Shopkeeper www.savvyshopkeeper.com  //   @savvyshopkeeper //  Savvy Shopkeeper Retail Podcast  She Makes is a podcast focusing on female makers + creative business owners.
