RETAIL PRIDE

RETAIL PRIDE
THE GUIDE TO CELEBRATING YOUR ACCIDENTAL CAREER
BY RON THURSTON
When will you get a real career? When will you stop working nights and weekends? When do you plan to use your college degree?
If you work in retail, these are questions that you often hear.
Does this make you feel like the career you love was all just an accident? You’re not alone. The retail industry employs millions, yet most people don’t end up there by design.
Ron Thurston wrote Retail Pride as the indispensable guide for every retail employee, manager, and multi-store leader looking to accelerate their potential and grow their career. It’s filled with straightforward, practical tips for developing your talents, connecting with customers, and building your leadership skills.
Based on more than twenty-five years of Ron’s retail leadership experience, you’ll discover a sense of belonging in the words of someone who has been a champion for the industry and shares your journey.

When you find someone who loves what they do, there is always something to learn from them no matter what field or occupation they are in. Ron loves what he does and it shows by this fantastic book he wrote. For those who are in the retail field or looking to go into retail, this is the book you will want to read. For those like myself who are not directly in Retail, I still learned from this book. Great Read

This book perfectly put into words what I have been feeling about my "accidental career" for the last 10 years. Ron has hit the nail on the head about why and how we love doing what we do, even when it happened totally unexpectedly. I expect to keep this close on hand and turn to it whenever I need a shot-in-the-arm of inspiration about my rapidly-changing (and often very unpredictable) industry!

Amazon Review
Don’t let the title fool you. This book is about more than just retail. It’s about the pride to do whatever it is you do. The confidence to own it. And the swagger to sell it. Ron tells an amazing story of how following your heart and what yearns inside of you is more important than anything else. His success in this industry makes his words that much more impactful. Great read! Especially for anyone starting their career!
