I received an email that compelled me to address "the small business struggle." The struggles you face as a small business owner often follow what we like to think of as “patterns.” Pandemic, inflation, election years, seasonal slumps—these aren’t new challenges. They’ve happened before, and they’ll happen again regardless if the economy is booming or not. In the small indie retail business world someone is always thriving, someone is always breaking even, someone is always treading water, and someone is always fighting to stay afloat. Shift your mindset to think that navigating hard times are your baseline - it's not about ignoring or escaping them—it’s about learning to succeed because of them. Whether you're thriving or struggling in your business, listen to episode 245 of the Savvy Shopkeeper Retail Podcast at www.savvyshopkeeper.com/episode245 and learn how you can join the Master Shopkeeper community - a group for brick-and-mortar store owners in all stages of business. Kathy Cruz is an Independent Retail Coach who helps store owners work smarter, profit more, and grow their brick and mortar businesses.

1 236: Understanding the New Beneficial Ownership Information Requirement for Small Businesses in the US 26:05
DISCLAIMER: This episode was originally scheduled to air on December 5, 2024, but legal developments and a busy week caused some last-minute delays. After months of postponing this topic due to ongoing legal uncertainties, I felt it was finally time to address the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) and the BOI (Beneficial Ownership Information) requirement—a regulation many small business owners may not even be aware of. However, just as this episode was set to publish, a U.S. District Court in Texas issued an injunction, putting the CTA on hold again. This legal limbo means the requirement could still go into effect in January 2025, but for now, we’re in a holding pattern. I’m sharing this episode to inform you about the potential impacts of the CTA on small businesses, with the understanding that its future is uncertain. Listen in to learn more, and stay tuned for updates as they unfold. Here are the show notes for the original episode I recorded.
