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.

During this time, I took my deep passion for learning all-things-retail and launched a second blog, Savvy Shopkeeper so I could help other retailers just like me.

The Savvy Shopkeeper blog has also taken a journey. From a blog to a podcast and an online Academy just for retailers.

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.

147. Making Hard Decisions in Business - Savvy Shopkeeper Retail Podcast

After months of deliberating, considering, and evaluating, I recently made the hard decision to close the Shopkeeper’s Lab and focus exclusively on Master Shopkeepers. In today’s episode, I’m sharing some of the GOOD that can come from a tough decision. Because as much as I work on my mindset, I never want to act like I have “perfected” doing hard things or that I don’t feel any emotion in my businesses. Listen in to learn why I came to this decision, how group members reacted, and all of the positives I’ve learned through this process.
