Open

"""Ana Maria Munoz's book, OPEN: Big Lessons in Small Retail and Living the Shopkeeper Dream, is an invitation to take personal inventory and design (or re-design) your personal power beyond the storefront of your professional pursuits. As tactical as it is transparent, this is a must read for any Service Provider, Shopkeeper or Serial Entrepreneur looking to become their best self in life and biz."" - Kj Christensen, Speaker / Author / Strategist --- ""As a fellow boutique shop owner, I believe this book is a gift to those who plan to start a retail shop. Ana Maria honestly reveals her experience as a shopkeeper. It's a case study full of lessons learned and great tips for running a shop. She also describes the evolution of the business as it grows from sole owner to a business with staff and a community that embraces them.""- Kelly Wohlgenant Owner Retro Modern Furnishings --- ""We all are constantly in contact with retail in general and small, independent shops in particular, and I was very interested to learn more about the specific challenges. After finishing the book, I can conclude that the book is not only for retail entrepreneurs but for entrepreneurs in general. It is the tale for people whose professional dream has come true and what it is like to live the dream. Not all entrepreneurial dreams are meant to last forever. If one door closes, others are opening up. As Ana Maria puts it: It's important to remember, we get to choose how we experience our everyday. I really enjoyed reading the book and took a lot out of it for my own entrepreneurial journey. Especially taking regular accounts whether the path is still the one you want to be on and to be honest with what you need to thrive are important lessons."" - Antonia Sutter, Founder and Owner of SisterMag"
