Time to look back but not for long

摘要

Because this is the State of the Industry issue, I felt it was appropriate for us as retailers to reflect on our own state of the industry. While I am a big believer in the fact that you cannot drive your car for very long while looking in the rear-view mirror without wreck-ing (unless you have eyes in the back of your head) and the motto, "Past performance is not indicative of future results," I would be remiss in not reviewing the past year with the purpose of better understanding what we need to do to prepare for 2019in order to make it another record year.
