How to Be an Overnight Success

You are not born an entrepreneur. It's a skill that you learn along the way. When the skincare company Rodial launched its cult 'snake' serum, the press quickly called the business an 'overnight success'. However, Rodial's founder Maria Hatzistefanis had been toiling for 18 years, building the company from scratch in her bedroom. Now, the beauty boss sets out to demonstrate in this very accessible book that its success stemmed from sheer hard work, tireless efforts, and a lot of patience. Fashion-loving Maria set out with a dream to build a beauty business and, despite not excelling at school and being fired from her first job, she has achieved it. She did it by dreaming big, working hard, surrounding herself with the best, taking risks, creating buzz, and building her own personal brand, which is now a favorite with high-profile models and media personalities including Poppy Delevingne.
