If you’ve watched “Schitt’s Creek,” you are familiar with the tale of the Rose family’s decline in society.
The show delightfully follows the once wealthy family as they adjust to a new existence in Schitt’s Creek, a small hamlet. Along the journey, the family picks up a lot of life lessons. It also teaches them a lot about adjusting to new careers.
David Rose has one of the most amazing career shifts in the Rose family.
As viewers of the show, you are aware of David’s exceptional qualities. His antics, demeanor, and style will always stick in your memory.
And after relocating to Schitt’s Creek, David makes the decision to make a significant change in his career, befitting the true icon that he is.
In addition to the many lessons about life that we may take from David, there are also many lessons concerning his job. The following are the most important career lessons we have acquired from him thus far:
David and his family were astonished to find themselves living in a run-down motel in a tiny town after being quite rich.
Sure, they were down on their luck and wallowed in their misery for a while. David was arguably the worst offender.
He was continually criticizing Schitt’s Creek and often stated that he was unhappy.
He quickly realized, however, that hanging about in his misery would not get him anywhere. He decided to leave the room he shared with his sister and do something productive.
What did David do that was productive? He went out and obtained a job at a shop named “The Blouse Barn.”
Was it the most glamorous job he’d ever held? Definitely not. However, he learned a great deal on the job.
David improved his customer service abilities, learned how to operate a store, and even secured a contract that resulted in significant revenue for the store (and, ultimately, himself).
If he hadn’t gotten out of bed and earned experience in this store, he might never have made the next significant step in his career.
Before relocating to Schitt’s Creek, David ran several art galleries. However, as you might expect, there was little of an art culture in the small town where he had relocated.
So, what should he do? Stay in his motel room all day, pouting?
No. Instead, he combined his knowledge from working at The Blouse Barn with his other skills to launch his own firm.
David starts Rose Apothecary, a boutique that sells a variety of products, from cosmetics to coffee. As David put it, “it’s a general store, but also a very specific store.”
David Rose is highly self-aware. He understands his own talents and flaws.
He knows who he is as a person, and that shows in his business.
David is not afraid to be himself, and his distinct personal brands set him and his company apart from the competition.
Anyone who enters into Rose Apothecary understands that David worked extremely hard on it. Every label, color scheme, and random (but perfect) object was chosen for a reason.
David never gave up on his idea for Rose Apothecary.
People wondered what his business was and how it would survive in a town like Schitt’s Creek. But he didn’t let that stop him from moving forward with his career.
