How to Be an Overnight Success Kindle Edition

One of the poorest written books I've ever read. When I read a book I want to feel like the author is sitting in the room telling me his or her story. A conversation between two people. Maria might be the smartest business person in the world but it's written in such a poor way I barely made it through the introduction. There's no way I can believe she talks like this in person.I'd blame it on the editor but since I can't find any credit for an editor I have to put all the blame on Maria. I read a lot of business books and this is the first time I've stopped reading any book after chapter one. An editor could have guided this into what might have been a great business book. Instead, it's written in a way like someone would write an academic paper. It's a shame.

Very practical book. Realistic. It shows that hard work is required to be successful and that the lack of immediate success does not make you or your business a failure. Use the gifts God has given us of drive, planning and pushing through.

I was happily surprised by this book. Bought it to learn more about Rodial and learned so much about staring a company and being a go getter from Maria. She is funny, knowledgeable and entertaining. If you are thinking about starting any business I consider this a must read

This is a story of a very successful brand and Everyone can relate to her story as entrepreneur....thank you Maria for inspire us !

Very inspiring book if you’re looking into starting your own business. She gives you the ups and downs of what she went through while building her business but also reminds you of the success at the end!

Having started my side gig almost a year ago, the advice is on point, especially if you are in the beauty industry.

Muy bonito

Ok read a little still reading it

It's OK. A mix of tips for success and Maria's personal story which seems to focus more on the glamorous side of the business and accomplishments and how to market your brand and yourself. I didn't think there was anything of real depth, there was no mention of how she balances work with family life (she has two children). I think its targeted more towards the younger reader.

ABSOLOUTE MUST READ!I took this book on hols for my holiday read and ended up finishing it within two days! (Then went on download #GIRLBOSS as recommended by Maria - also a fab read!But honestly I feel so inspired Maria has litterally changed my life! I think so differently, I'm way more organised now and I just want to read it again and again!!!Thank you MRS Rodial! You're AMAZING!Leanne xx

Although I felt most parts of this book weren't particularly related to me, and my small business in the way that my business is completely different to beauty and the thought of ever receiving press or even coming in to contact with them terrifies me and it's also not my aim but I could still relate and it still motovated me to just crack on and ultimately believe in myself a little more and forced me to try new things and step outsode of my comfort zone.If you need a little kick up the backside and just a tad of a motivation from someone who has seemingly been where you are now then its definetley worth a read.The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was because at times I felt as though I was beig spld to in regards to app references etc - but i'd definetely recommend

A truly very inspiring book, which every girl can relate to.As we are in lock down due to COVID-19 it was a good time to sit down and reflect now that maternity it over, what's next for me, what I truly want to do next. I have a passion for beauty and skincare myself, not sure where to start, who can I to relate about my passion, my qualites my beliefs. I need to get some inspiration and motivation and then coincidentally Mrs Rodial instagaram screamed at me.Maria Hatzistefanis a normal young girl like you and me from a small town, not sure what job she truly wants, but has a dream and passion and chased it till it came reality. Like every normal girl, seeing models in magazine and beauty excited her.Mrs Rodial shares her real struggles, experiences, successes, failures and passion we can relate to about our everyday life. Not everything is glamour, hardwork, setbacks, rejections and patience are part of a successful journey. Believing in yourself, having passion, drive and resilience does pay off.If you love something it does not feel like a job, sacrifices like working past the 9-5 hours, working on weekends, no social life, sleepless nights are real experiences alot of young and successful women go through. Started small and got big and still going on to be big.I've read 4 chapters so far and as I've been reading "this is me" I say to myself. Can't wait to read more.Review by: beauty table london by Mariam Mughal

Loved this book, it’s very inspiring and lots of practical advice. I followed Maria on Instagram too and I can see that what she writes is all true. She works so hard on her brand and it’s even more inspiring.The tone is a little plain but the content outshines it. Well done.
