It’s 7:59 am, and I’m just about to hop on to our daily team meeting. Our meetings are pretty light-hearted, we share a joke, walk through issues that have come up and review what’s happened over the last 24 hours.When my coach told me I HAD to implement them, I did so begrudgingly.But, he was right.Daily team meetings have changed our business and really increased team engagement.

Have I ever told you the story about how I hired someone to work in my shop, and about a year later, found out she’d started her own online business the week after she got the job in my store…..essentially selling the exact same stuff?

Last week, I had the opportunity to talk with a fabulous retailer in New Zealand about her business.

She was doing well…

She had significantly increased revenue since purchasing the business…

She went on to tell me about how she listens to the podcast on her drive into the shop and excitedly tells her team about what she learned and all the things they need to implement.

I’ll admit, it’s always heartwarming and flattering to hear someone say they get value from the podcast.

But, even though I had that warm fuzzy feeling in my heart, ALARM BELLS were going off in my head…

Because this was THE EXACT SAME SCENARIO that I had once found myself in. And it was one of the worst days of my business life.

Listen in for what happened next.
