My name is Kathy Cruz! I’m a fellow retail business owner and Retail Coach. My journey into retail started in 2013 when I launched a creative DIY blog with my sister. We grew from a blog to a brick and mortar home decor store in 2 years.

I’m on a mission to help independent retail business owners work less, profit more and grow! I’m glad you’re here and hope you find the information I share helpful.
