I can’t tell you how often I’ve seen a shopkeeper open a second retail store location and want to tell them, “Wait, don’t do that quite yet!” I’ve also seen many store owners go on to close their second retail store location later on. 
This doesn’t mean that second, third, or fourth locations don’t work out for ALL retailers. They absolutely can work! But before you open a second retail store location, there are a few things to consider. 
In this short and sweet episode, I’m sharing eight things retailers should consider before opening a second retail store location.

Your brain might tell you that every other business immediately succeeds—and that you’re a failure when yours doesn’t. But what if you could reframe your failures as experiments instead?
Failing versus experimenting might seem subtle, but this reframe can be a pivotal mindset shift for retail business owners! 
In today’s episode, I’m sharing my 3-step process for reframing your thoughts around your business’s success and failures so you can be a happier, more resilient, and more successful indie shopkeeper.

Over the past few weeks, I’ve shared why an operations manual is beneficial, five systems you should document for your retail store, and a free resource to give you a head start on creating your operations manual. 
All of these podcast episodes have had one goal: to help indie retail store owners optimize their operations. Today, I’m excited to share that we can work together on this same goal inside a 5-week, small group program! 
Optimize Your Operations is intentionally designed to help brick and mortar shopkeepers at every level build their operations manuals (without the “where do I even start?!” overwhelm).
