As an Independent Retailer, you have a lot to juggle each day. You cannot be the expert in everything. You need to be sure you follow people who can help you learn and grow your retail skills.
Wow, January flew by so fast, and here we are in the 2nd week of February 2021. So far, this year has been full of chaos and uncertainty. But the future of the COVID vaccine and herd immunity is looking promising for 2021. Each of us must make sure we are set up for success this year.
Did you set your goals for 2021, and have you determined the Habits you need to develop to reach those goals? To help you along the way, I suggest you choose some Influencers to follow to motivate you and keep you focused on where you want to go. Decide where you want to Grow this year and surround yourself with the people that can teach you and lead you in that growth.
Here is the list of resources that I follow and suggest you look into

Brendon Burchard
If you are serious about developing the Habits that will help you reach your goals and succeed, you need to follow Brendon Burchard. He is the world’s leading high-performance coach and a best-selling author. Between his books, podcasts, online courses, blogs, and YouTube videos, it is easy to learn from Brendon. He is HIGH energy, and it is infectious. Last year, I started using “The High Performance Planner” to plan and organize my days and weeks. Brendon’s planner asks you questions each day that makes you intentional, more productive and guides you to bring your energy, courage, and influence into each day. Go to his website at brendon.com to be inspired by all he has to offer.
OK, so you may be thinking, “I do not have time to follow all of these people and read all of their blogs. I’m too busy!”
To that, I would say, that is why you need to be sure you are developing the Habits you need to grow.
However, if you cannot find the time to follow all of these people and resources, just read my emails and blogs as I will be incorporating all that I learn from these forums and more into what I share with you each month. The information can also be found on my Facebook page at Retail Clarity Business Coaching.
