Why A Support Network Is Important

We may run the day-to-day of our businesses by ourselves but that doesn't mean we don't need the help of others.

I call the support system that successful store owners put in place the Circle of Influence. Think of it as your board of advisors.

This circle of influence will naturally develop over time depending on what you and your business need at any point in time.
The important thing is to continuously curate this group - let go of those who make you feel bad, don't add value or education and instead look for trusted resources that help you make progress.

What your Circle of Influence Can Look Like

An informal network of trusted advisors who understand your challenges and can support you with real-life data, benchmarks, subject-matter expertise, and emotional support for the ups and downs.

Fellow store owner friends
Business besties
Facebook groups and communities
Online teachers & courses
Freelancers
Hired experts (finance, legal, etc)
Employees
Coaches
MastermindMind groups

Trust your instincts and tap into your circle of influence when you have a problem or are working towards a new goal.

They will help you get there faster and with a lot less stress.
