The year was 1976, and Roddick had just found the ideal storefront for her business in Brighton, England. It also happened that this storefront was situated between two funeral parlors. The day the signage for The Body Shop went up, the owners of the two funeral parlors were not impressed. In fact, they expressed distaste and concern over the name of the new business. They worried it would confuse their clients. The name itself — The Body Shop — wasn’t new. Roddick had previously run The Body Shop in Berkeley, California; albeit, not between two funeral parlors. The owners of the mortuaries wanted Roddick to change the name of the business. They found no humor in it, or if they did, they weren’t about to admit it.

As entrepreneurs and business owners, we face setbacks all the time. How we handle these setbacks can determine the fate of our business. Handle a setback poorly, and you may end up the victim of dire consequences. Handle a setback with outside-the- box thinking, and your business may end up stronger for it. This is exactly what happened with Anita Roddick and her once-upon-a-time startup, The Body Shop, a skin care and cosmetics company. Of course, in 2017, it’s hard to picture The Body Shop as the startup it once was in the 1970s, but those early days come with a story we can all learn from. Roddick faced a setback and, with some unconventional thinking, forged a path forward.
