Personal Development | South Australian Authors

A book for anyone with an independent retail dream. After five years of owning, operating, and closing her dream store, Ana Maria realized that opening for business also means opening up to personal growth. OPEN dives into the practical elements of building and operating a retail store while squarely focusing on the Shopkeeper behind it. Blending memoir and keen observations, author Ana Maria Muñoz shares her Shopkeeper Journey while encouraging readers to dig into their "Personal Backroom" and take Personal Inventory to identify what makes them tick, dim, glow, and burn out. OPEN is filled with hands-on insights, vulnerable personal stories, and reflections to inspire present and future Shopkeepers to take action, build a better launch, grow their store, and evolve with their Shopkeeper Dream. This book is less how-to build and more how-to be.Whether you want to launch your dream store, operate your current brick-and-mortar with more ease, move on to new adventures, or get a Shopkeeper's point of view, OPEN will reveal a world of considerations and possibilities.
