You can have the most successful business in the world, but if you’re not enjoying it, is it really worth it? One of the topics that I find the most joy in talking about with boutique owners is the topic of mindset because it’s one that can yield the biggest results and change in business. In today’s episode, I’m excited to be joined by Gretchen Hilley, owner of Rolling Ranch Boutique and OG Boutique Hub member, to talk all things mindset.
Listen in as Gretchen shares her experience starting, launching, and growing her thriving business, the ups and downs she experienced with live selling and staffing, and what it was like adding her husband to the team. She also provides insight into the role her mindset has played in her success and shares practical tips on how to cultivate a growth mindset to reach new heights in your boutique journey.
