Premier League problems: why being busy is a good sign in retail

It’s been one of those weeks in the Turnbull’s Food Hall.

A very busy and challenging personal calendar.

A busy shop.

Team holidays.

And a big event on top of it all.

By Saturday, I was feeling it.

But here’s the thing, these are what I call Premier League problems.

They’re not the “relegation battle” worries of whether the till will ring or the bills will get paid.

They’re the kind of problems you earn when the business is growing.

Yes, it’s tiring.

Yes, it stretches you.

But you’d rather be managing fixture congestion in the topflight than scrapping at the bottom of the table.

And here’s the lesson: Premier League problems don’t have to knock you flat.

With support, ideas, and a bit of perspective, you can keep pushing forward without burning out.

And make sure you take the time to reflect on your success – these are great problems to have.

Have a great week.
