The Truth About Starting a Product Business with Victoria Myers

You know that idea you can’t stop circling,  the one that keeps tugging at you, but you just can’t quite commit to? If you're nodding then his episode is for you. This week, I’m joined by Victoria Myers, founder of The Small Retailer Network, who knows exactly what it’s like to rebuild from scratch. After moving countries, raising two small children, and walking away from a steady income, Victoria chose courage over comfort to create the business and community she wished existed. We talk about what it really looks like to return to work after a career break, the realities of launching a product-based business in 2025, and the messy truth of starting again. Victoria’s story is the perfect reminder that confidence doesn’t come first - courage does. Grab a cuppa, hit play, and let this be the nudge you need to finally go all in on what’s been tugging at you.   Victoria Myers Victoria Myers is a Retail Business Mentor, keynote speaker, and community leader with over 25 years of experience in the retail industry.

Along the way i found a natural ability to bridge the gap between strategy and people, leading large teams through transformation and growth. In late 2019 after experiencing significant personal loss, I left the corporate world to launch my coaching business, going all in on a vision to empower others, just as the world began facing an unprecedented global pandemic. Since then I’ve worked with businesses and individuals worldwide, empowering hundreds to break through self-doubt, overcome imposter syndrome, and take bold courageous action toward their goals. Now living in Dubai, fulfilling a lifelong ambition to live and work internationally I like to think I inspire others to take courageous action and embrace the mindset shifts that make success possible. I’m high energy, no nonsense but truly authentic and fundamentally believe life is too short not to go for what you want My own story is proof of that and I can’t wait to help you write yours.
