Happy New Year! Yes, we know it’s the 8th. No, we haven’t been nursing a weeklong hangover. A new decade brings a whole new meaning to a β€œfresh start.” And we had some things to wrap up before beginning ours. After all, a β€œbeginning” is just a mental state, right?

We believe that’s true, so we began ours in style at our new office β€”- the ART INSTITUTE!!! Let’s just say this year is roaring in like a lion...

Business owners start their businesses for a number of reasons (lets say because they like merchandising) - that leap alone is πŸ™ŒπŸ½πŸ”₯
But some, later find themselves realizing that there is SO much more (lets say hiring/training/talent management, operational processes, selling & guest interactions...and everything in between) that goes into running a solid well-rounded operation 🀯
Without support - they’re tired, overwhelmed and have completely lost sight of why they were BRAVE enough to do this in the first place ✊🏼
THEY AREN’T ALONE. YOU AREN’T ALONE.

* How are you treated when you enter?
* What is the staff doing/saying while you’re there?
* What products are they carrying?
* Are there any overlaps? If so, how do their prices compare to yours?
* How is their space laid out/merchandised? Does it resonate with you?
* What are they doing BETTER than you?

β€œWe boss up like this”

We didn’t wake up like this. Reflect what you expect. When you put the effort in, your team will put the effort in. Show them they’re worth it by taking the time to be your best for them.
