Learning from these failures is step one to a successful long-lasting, business<\/strong><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1.Leadership Failure <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> Let&#8217;s be real\u2026 there are parts of life that are fun\u2026 and there are parts of life that we are less than excited about. \u00a0Being a business leader means more than being the buyer, and face of your business.   A true leader is responsible for keeping everyone informed, safe, motivated, disciplined and more. \u00a0Poor leadership from the top will trickle down to the rest of your team and negatively affect every aspect of your business.  Failure to properly lead will show up over time.    The most successful businesses have very active leaders who set goals, communicate, train, test, and reward as well as continue to educate themselves and learning from their mistakes. \u00a0\u00a0<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. Failure to be Unique<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With so many boutiques popping up you have really got to set yourself apart! &nbsp;&nbsp;What makes you unique?   It is not enough to say you offer affordable, trendy clothing\u2026 so does everyone else! &nbsp;&nbsp;What makes you different?    Will customers VOTE for you?   When a customer opens their wallet and buys something with you they are voting for you. &nbsp;&nbsp;What sets you apart from the guy down the street?   <br><br>It is important to see retail through the eyes of your customers and set yourself apart in this huge retail world! &nbsp;&nbsp;Dare to be different\u2026 it is the only way to survive!  <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. Making Assumptions About Your Customers Needs\/Wants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Did you build a business on what you assumed your customers wanted or needed? \u00a0\u00a0To survive in this crazy retail world you will need a business that solves a problem for your customer. \u00a0To assume that your customer needs a place to find affordable, trendy clothing is not accurate!   Everyone has access to <g class=\"gr_ gr_17 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim Punctuation only-del replaceWithoutSep gr-progress\" id=\"17\" data-gr-id=\"17\">Amazo<\/g><g class=\"gr_ gr_17 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim Punctuation only-del replaceWithoutSep\" id=\"17\" data-gr-id=\"17\">n<\/g> or other online retailers. \u00a0\u00a0Everyone has a problem that needs to be solved\u2026 you figure out a way to solve your customer&#8217;s retail problems (their true struggles) and you will survive!  <br><br> Examples: \u00a0\u00a0Be the <g class=\"gr_ gr_10 gr-alert gr_spell gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim ContextualSpelling ins-del multiReplace gr-progress\" id=\"10\" data-gr-id=\"10\">go-t<\/g><g class=\"gr_ gr_10 gr-alert gr_spell gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim ContextualSpelling ins-del multiReplace\" id=\"10\" data-gr-id=\"10\">o<\/g> retailer <g class=\"gr_ gr_23 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim Punctuation only-del replaceWithoutSep gr-progress\" id=\"23\" data-gr-id=\"23\">fo<\/g><g class=\"gr_ gr_23 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim Punctuation only-del replaceWithoutSep\" id=\"23\" data-gr-id=\"23\">r <\/g>slimming pants, <g class=\"gr_ gr_15 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim Grammar only-ins replaceWithoutSep\" id=\"15\" data-gr-id=\"15\">best<\/g> selection of party dresses, personal shopping, delivery, closet organization, size 11 shoes.  Truly solve a problem for your customers and they will support you! <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4. Failure to Analyze Numbers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Small Business Trends, only 40% of small businesses are profitable, 30% break even and 30% are losing money! &nbsp;&nbsp;Which type of business do you want to be?   <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to be profitable, you must diligently be analyzing your numbers.    Profit doesn&#8217;t just happen! &nbsp;&nbsp;You might make sales, and bring in revenue <g class=\"gr_ gr_66 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim Punctuation only-ins replaceWithoutSep\" id=\"66\" data-gr-id=\"66\">however<\/g>, revenue is not the same thing as profit!   You must have a plan!   These plans must include (but not limited to) mark up, markdown, inventory management, overhead, etc. &nbsp;&nbsp;<br><br>If you fail to analyze your numbers, soon there will be no numbers to analyze. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5. Getting Too Big For Your Britches<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Expanding, overextending payroll, and exceeding a marketing budget are three quick ways to kill your business. \u00a0Everyone likes to grow, <g class=\"gr_ gr_11 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim Punctuation only-ins replaceWithoutSep gr-progress\" id=\"11\" data-gr-id=\"11\">howev<\/g><g class=\"gr_ gr_11 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim Punctuation only-ins replaceWithoutSep\" id=\"11\" data-gr-id=\"11\">er,<\/g> you need to phase your business and do it over time.  Too much too fast will deplete funds! \u00a0Imagine your own personal life&#8230; You only have 24 hours in a day and taking on more than you can manage will result in items left undone, or not done correctly. \u00a0This is the same with your business.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rome wasn\u2019t built in a day!  Be patient! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>6. Failure to Learn From Your Mistakes! <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is normal to fear failure, however, in business consider it your tuition &#8211; paid! &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Everyone makes mistakes, however, the biggest take away is what you learn from these mistakes! &nbsp;When someone fails, learn from it, do not repeat it, adjust your plan and try again!  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Albert Einstein says the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, expecting different results! &nbsp;As business <g class=\"gr_ gr_5 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim Punctuation only-ins replaceWithoutSep\" id=\"5\" data-gr-id=\"5\">owners<\/g> it is mandatory to keep learning!   Realizing there are mistakes in your business and going back to the drawing board to develop a new plan is the first step to success.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Love these tips 6 Reasons Businesses Fail?
