The key to starting an enterprise is to develop your business model with an innovative and creative touch. Many people dream of this, but few people are encouraged to try. Having your own business allows you to concentrate your energy on projects that make you happy. This gives you more freedom to make decisions, make changes, and invest in what you think is necessary. From a Great Dream to Grand Opening: How to Start Your Very Own Coffee Shop is a guide that will tell you everything you need to know about managing a coffee shop. You can achieve your vision by avoiding the most common mistakes. Stella Perry includes plenty of tips for creating a strong vision and a business plan appropriate to the type of coffee shop you desire. The explanations range from finding the location to holding a successful grand opening.

From a Great Dream to Grand Opening is a complete manual. I enjoyed it because it is an easy-to-follow guide that explains choosing the venue, décor, equipment, indispensable machines, menus, and the setting. Stella Perry focuses on information relevant to your chosen niche market and type of clientele. It is not the same as being part of a franchise. Each coffee shop has its specialties and menus, but you must first learn about the industry. You should create a menu that considers varying tastes and dietary requirements, also being aware of possible ingredients that can cause allergies. This level of detail is thoroughly covered and the book explains how to achieve stability in your business while applying your creativity.
