Meet your Mentor, Wendy Batten
Hi there!
I’m Wendy Batten, retail business coach, brick-and-mortar expert, and the go-to mentor for thousands of shop owners who want to grow profitable, sustainable businesses that support their lives (not run them ragged).
I’m all about practical, doable strategies that help independent retailers like you boost profits, simplify operations, and lead with confidence, even if you’ve never felt like a “numbers person.”
My clients have seen incredible shifts in their shops. From finally taking home consistent paychecks, to doubling monthly revenue, to falling back in love with their business after years of burnout.
It’s truly my passion to help shopkeepers step into their CEO role and create the kind of business that brings more freedom, joy, and sustainability.
