FAVORITE QUOTES IN HOW TO ACHIEVE FREEDOM IN YOUR BUSINESS
“The more you grow, the more hats you can take off.” -Faith Parker
“I shine a light on them (employees) and they get to share. They feel supported and they feel a part of a community. I want them to do that for our customers, so I think it’s important I do that for them.” -Faith Parker
“Hire slow, fire fast. You know when it’s not a good fit. Don’t drag it on, pull that band-aid off and move on because there is someone out there that is going to be a better fit for that position.” -Faith Parker

- The Power of Your Company Scorecard
Welcome back to Five Minute Friday! Today, I want to share a powerful strategy that has significantly impacted how I run my business at the Boutique Hub and how I’ve coached countless members through our Mastermind and Retail Bootcamp programs. The topic of today’s discussion is the company scorecard—a simple yet transformative tool for measuring success. - How to Get Ready for the Holiday Season!
Q4 is what I typically refer to as the Holiday Bliss of retail! We all start the season very hopefully for a bigger quarter that could potentially result in record sales for our businesses. Yet, we can easily overlook the importance of having a solid plan to make the busiest time of the year, also the most profitable time of the year. - The Power of the Pivot: Navigating Big Shifts in BusinessRecognizing when it’s time to make a shift in your business is key when it comes to building a long-lasting and successful career, and my guest today is a testament to that. Lori Harder has built incredible things, overcome the odds, and shown how to pivot and reinvent your personal brand and business in an effective way. In this episode, she shares from her own experiences and difficult leadership moments that have allowed her to pivot successfully.
