If you’re like me, there’s a different level of excitement that happens toward the end of the year. It’s a great time to gather and look back on the highs and lows of the past year, as well as reflect on the lessons that were learned along the way. I have been busting at the seams with all the things I have learned over the past year, so buckle up as I share the biggest lessons learned from 2022.
Listen in as I look back and dive into the last year that we survived—or thrived in—and share some insights that we can take with us into the next year to make it great. I’ll also talk about what to expect in the coming year within the retail and boutique industry and give you some tidbits to get your 2023 started off right in your business!
