This quote from Richard Branson is almost amusing. As we know, Sir Branson has been very successful in business, but I agree that the best pay off for an entrepreneur is to have it both ways.
Finding that delicate balance is the tricky part. When I had my boutique, I confess that it was always more important to me to provide the products that I hoped would enhance my customers’ lives and bring beauty to their homes. Making money would have been a lucky happenstance!
It has been almost 5 years (April 30, 2015) since C C on Whyte closed its doors. I thought that my retailing years were behind me, but it turns out that may not be so. If the stars line up perfectly over the next couple of months, I may have a “pop up” C C on Whyte (a 2.0 version) for November and December 2020. To ensure that the products are available when I want them, I am off to market this weekend to scout out what is being offered for the coming year. My hope is to create a product mix that captures the essence of C C on Whyte with a snippet of what was and a sprinkling of what is new and unique.
Although I don’t have many photos of the displays we did at C C, I did find these on our Facebook page…a reminder of what was…
I’ll keep you posted over the coming months if C C on Whyte 2.0, the “pop-up”, is a go…
