Motivations

Why do I want to excel at work?

1. I don't want to get fired and therefore have no funds with which to pay my bills.

2. I like my boss and want to do well for him.

3. I want to win.

4. I feel fortunate to have this job.

5. I see this as a valuable opportunity to learn new things.

6. I become part of a community around my retail location.

7. Most of my customers are attractive women.

Foreword

I never thought I'd be a business man. Very soon, I will be bumped up to be a manager of a failing store. I need to make the store profitable. It's imperative. I am also from the street. Not THE street. Not yet. But I have no formal education in business. Not yet. This blog space will be my learning journal, including my hits and misses, and fantasies as I accept the yoke of being a retail manager here to save the day.
