Since the winter is just around the corner, it has come time to close up our boat supplies store for the season. It has been very good, but since our store is at a lake, we don’t get a lot of business in the winter.
But it is a great time to reflect on the successes and failures of the season and take those into account when ordering products for next year. A good example would be the number of canoes that I thought we would sell this year. We sold two instead of the twenty that I had anticipated, but I should have known that it would work out that way since the lake we service is just a bit too big for canoeing.
There is also one thing that I really struggled with this year which was the number of hours that I worked at the shop. Let me tell you that being there from sun up to sun down was not very good for our marriage and I think that I will be hiring more help next year so that I can spend more time with my family.
I am very thankful that this year was the best year yet and I look forward to many more at our little store at the lake.
