Me bad girl!! It has been way to long since my last blog and I have no excuses again. It has been an interesting couple of months in the retail industry and not in a good way. Online sales have doubled globally, big box stores are popping up everywhere (Target is coming) and all of this means hard times for us small retail storefronts. So between being a mom, small business owner, sitting on numerous boards and breathing, I might be looking for another job. Let's be real here. We all talk about finding a balance in our lives. Reducing stress and taking more time for ourselves. Well I hate to bust the dream bubble but I have seriously tried it and none of the above pays the electric bill or puts food on the table. I am still trying to make this store work and I don't want to move on just yet. Does anyone have any advice for me? Hey Arlene (Dragons Den) can I buy you a coffee? :)
