Are you lying awake at night, wondering how your store will make it through another month? Do you remember the excitement you felt when you first opened your doors, only to now find yourself drowning in inventory decisions and cash flow worries? Team? Family? You’re not alone. As a mom and store owner who nearly lost everything – twice – I intimately understand the weight of these struggles. Those sleepless nights and constant stress almost made me walk away from my retail dreams entirely.
But here’s the truth that changed everything: retail success isn’t about working harder; it’s about working smarter with proven systems that actually work. Through my own journey from near-bankruptcy to building RETAILMavens, I’ve discovered what truly transforms struggling stores into thriving businesses. Today, I’m most proud of our ”Millies” – clients who’ve broken through the million-dollar ceiling, a milestone that only 1.9% of women-owned businesses achieve. Every time we celebrate a new ”Millie,” I’m reminded why this mission matters so much: these women aren’t just building profitable stores; they’re reshaping their communities and inspiring others to believe in bigger possibilities.
The Retail Profit Formula Podcast is your weekly guide to mastering the three pillars that revolutionize independent retail businesses: strategic inventory management, sustainable cash flow systems, and transformative leadership skills. Each episode unpacks practical strategies from our proven methods – the Sales Breakthrough System, Profit Roadmap, and Profit First powered by RETAILMavens. You’ll hear real success stories from store owners who’ve doubled their income and profits, eliminated their stress, and rediscovered their passion for retail. We dive deep into solutions for your most pressing challenges: from managing seasonal cash flow and optimizing inventory turns to building a team that runs your store like a well-oiled machine.

#050: Create a Manifesto That Attracts Your Dream Customers
What if one bold statement could attract the right customers, energize your team, and set your store apart instantly?
What do Apple, Patagonia, and your favorite local boutique all have in common? They know exactly what they stand for and they boldly declare it. In this episode, Cathy Donovan Wagner takes you behind the scenes of the Richer Retailer Manifesto and teaches you how to create your own.
A manifesto is more than a mission statement, it’s your customer magnet. It tells the world who you are, what you stand for, and why your store exists. When you claim it with confidence, you don’t just sell products, you attract the right people, inspire loyalty, and build a legacy.
Cathy shares the exact steps from the RETAILMavens coaching program that will help you: define your store’s personality, align your business with your core values, and craft a bold declaration that rallies both your customers and your team.
