This Episode: The Power Of Perseverance
This episode of Real Retail TV comes from my reflection back on a recent speaking engagement and the fabulous conversations I had with retail store owners like you. If you want to have a GREAT store but are struggling to make it happen then this episode is for you!
Please share your thoughts in the comments section below.
Thanks for the encouragement. I need to change my culture so will be looking a the staff section of the RMS to figure out where to get started.
You’re welcome Victoria! Yes, culture is sooooo important to your success. Dig into the Staff Development module and keep working at it. It’s not always easy, but with a little perseverance I’m 100% confident you’ll get it done!

Thank you Bob, I needed an encouraging word.
We are going through the hard work right now. We lost several people
due to Hurricane Michael (Category 5+) and the effects on our Housing and Human Resource
Market. 5000+ kids in our Schools. Many jobs opened up that were not in Retail…so people all across our area switched their jobs to fill in the holes of other non-retail companies.
People don’t want to work Retail hours open until 9 pm at night and holidays.
The only days we are able to close are Thanksgiving and Christmas.
I feel like we are starting over with our teams after 25 years. My husband
and I have worked 80+ hours a week because of our team shortages.
Thank you for your hopeful message. I’ve been praying hard for good people.
We have hired 2 new assistants…in the past two months.
It’s been a really tough year.
Laurie, I am so sorry to hear you are struggling. It’s always tougher when the hard times happen because of things out of your control. A hurricane would count as something out of your control!
Hang in there. You are tough. You are smart. And you will make it through!
