Today I introduce you to a new series here on the podcast. It’s called Real Retailers. As the name suggests, it’s a series where I interview actual retailers, people just like you, who have created greatness in their retail business.

This week, I want to introduce you to Marnie.

I love her to bits. She’s got the most wicked laugh, that just makes you smile.

I met Marnie when she applied for a scholarship into The Boutique Academy. Each enrolment, I offer  two scholarships to people who I think, could benefit from the academy. And, Marnie was accepted. If you’re interested to know more about that, I’ll have the info on next week’s show.

Scholarships are a funny thing. On the one hand, you know that there are people who could truly make a difference in their business if they had the information. On the other hand, as the creator, you need to make money, or you can’t stay in business.

When you offer a scholarship, you want to know that the recipient is going to make the most of it. That they’ll put in the work and get results.

So of course, this week’s episode is brought to you  The Boutique Academy.

Do you feel like you’re struggling in your retail business? Are you spending too much time working, and do you hear yourself constantly saying no to everything? Would you like to pay yourself a fair wage for the effort you put in? If you want to build and grow your business, and become a confident retail business owner, The Boutique Academy is your answer. Enrolment opens 22-29 Feb 2016.
