From Sears to Self-Discovery: Building the Foundation to Flourish

When I first started working the floor at Sears, I didn’t realize how much those long shifts and endless racks of clothes were shaping me for my future. At the time, it felt like just another job—clock in, do your best, and clock out. But looking back, I see that Sears gave me one of the most important business lessons I could ever learn: consistency is the root of confidence.

🌱 The Floor Experience

At Sears, the pace wasn’t glamorous. It was steady. Every day meant folding clothes, greeting customers, and showing up even when I was tired. I learned to be patient with people and with myself.

And here’s the truth: when you’re building a business, most days don’t feel glamorous either. They feel like the floor—doing the small, repetitive, necessary things that no one else sees.

✨ The Business Lesson: Consistency Builds Trust

What I learned on that floor is the same lesson I share with my clients now: people don’t remember if you were perfect—they remember if you were present.

• Consistency in showing up for your clients builds their trust.
• Consistency in showing up for yourself builds your confidence.
• Consistency in small daily actions builds your future success.

It wasn’t about Sears. It was about learning to trust myself enough to keep showing up.

🌸 How You Can Apply This to Your Business

Ask yourself:

• Am I showing up for my business daily, even in small ways?
• Do my clients know they can rely on me?
• Am I patient enough to trust the process, even when results aren’t instant?

Your foundation may feel ordinary right now—but just like that floor, it’s preparing you for something extraordinary.
