How to Be an Overnight Success: Making It Business in Bloomington, MN

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 shows readers how its success stemmed from sheer hard work, tireless efforts, and a lot of patience. Despite not excelling at school, and being fired from her first job, she dreamed big, worked hard, surrounding herself with the best, took risks, and built her own personal brand, which is now a favorite with celebrities including Poppy Delevingne, Daisy Lowe, and Kylie Jenner. Her book is brimming with good sense and great advice.
