My experience running a retail store taught me a thing or two
Years ago I ran my own retail business in Capitola and what I learned can help you overcome hurdles that all business owners face at some time. I taught myself about ideal levels of inventory and how to attain them; the importance of cash flow; and what goes into a successful expansion strategy.
Over the course of one year we opened three more stores in NorCal that placed a great deal of stress on the business from a cash flow, profitability and personnel perspective. I was concerned for their survival and took a hard look at my decision-making process which led to this situation. I was able to turn it around by creating a sound strategic plan and through cash flow management based on forecasting, operating efficiencies and inventory controls. What I learned through that experience can now benefit you.
I'll teach you everything I know
I’ve always had a passion for teaching and imparting knowledge onto others to succeed. From my experiences as an advisor to MBA students at Pepperdine University to what I do today in my personal consultation practice, as well as assisting Santa Cruz businesses through the SBDC.
I have experience in every facet of business development from startups to managing a national sales force for a Fortune 500 company like Reebok International. I’d like to teach you everything I know.
