What ”Olympian feat” have you had to face in business? Get gold? (6 posts)

  • To be apropos, just wondering what “olympian (superior to mundane considerations) feat” have you had to face in your business? (challenges)  Did you reach gold? How did you “train?” (overcome obstacles)
    Congratulations to those who “metaled!” 

  • @deairby Great question, Dea!

    Mine would have to be just getting started. That is an Olympian feat and one, sadly, that not everyone achieves gold in.

  • we are in  yr  34  for our  business…. at  about yr  20 we had to face that  everything  had  changed  and what  got us  to yr  2o  was  not  working  as  well   anymore….mainly  the  homewoners taste  changed….and   at the same time  . our huge   wholesale  b to b   business   went  from  80%  to  way under  50%….the antique world   just  fell apart…..most  stores  closed  and  most of the  c asual  dealers  q uit  …

    so we  had to  reinvent ourselves…very hard and  wierd…..now  we  are even  bigger  but  so much  different…. 

  • And for that, Ann, you deserve a GOLD!!! @annfurnivall :)   For all you contribute on SME, I’d give you a GOLD!! Russell… @russellallert :)

  • @deairby LOL  DEA….. NOW I HAVE TO TRY TO   FIGURE OUT WHAT TALL  BLONDS IN  300$$$  BOOTS  WANT…..very different   group than my   old  favorites…they are my new  favorites tho……..  

      its a great  question….and …i would love to hear  everybodies  story…. hey im a lit major!!!

    my current thing is  too hard  cant imagine  figuring it out right….that  would be  how  to   hand it over to   the next  generation   in a  few  years…..
