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, I share my Shopkeeper Journey while encouraging you to dig into your “Personal Backroom” and take Personal Inventory to identify what makes you tick, dim, glow, and burn out.
Take Personal Inventory
Too many how-to books and retail experts focus on utilitarian checklists while matters of the heart are cliff-noted or left out altogether. That’s why I wrote this book. I want to help you craft a better vision for your store that includes the most important element: you.
OPEN is the book I wish I’d read before opening my dream store — and reread throughout my time operating and eventually closing my dream store. The intention is less how-to build and more how-to be because being true to your truest self can be the hardest thing to do.
How you and your customers experience your store and how your business operates and succeeds has everything to do with your personal energies and how you show up. I hope my personal stories, wins, and big lessons inspire and support your Shopkeeper Dream while giving it space to grow, thrive, and evolve.
