    268. Awesome Isn’t Accidental: Raise the Retail Standards in Your Shop
    2025/07/07
    With host retail coach In This Episode: It’s not luck. It’s not magic. Running a successful retail shop takes purpose, planning, and showing up as your best self. In this inspiring episode, I’m sharing a powerful reminder from one of my favorite authors, Jon Acuff: “Awesome is never accidental.” Let’s talk about how you can intentionally create a business that feels great for you and your customers—on purpose, not by chance. We don’t want average businesses or lives: strive for AWESOME. Tips on Raising Your Retail Standards: “Awesome” isn’t just luck. Success is built with intention. Stop saying “She’s so lucky” and ask what she is doing differently. Be an intentional leader. Plan 90 days ahead like a CEO. Learn new skills to grow your shop and confidence. Make business decisions that align with your personal and brand values. Level up your customer’s experience. 81% of people will leave your store if they think someone else offers a better experience. Inconsistent service can drive even loyal customers away. Set clear store standards: music, smell, cleanliness, staff behavior—it all matters. Your Next Steps: Write down the quote: Awesome is never accidental. Pick one small area in your business and raise the bar. Ask yourself: how can I be more awesome today?
