About this listen

Random House presents the audiobook edition of How to Be an Overnight Success by Maria Hatzistefanis, read by Janice Vee and with an introduction read by the author.

'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 favourite with high-profile models and media personalities including Poppy Delevingne, Daisy Lowe and Kylie Jenner.

Crucially, she believes anyone can do this, and her book, brimming with good sense, great advice, tips and secrets - all presented in an easy, friendly style - shows how.

I don't think anything about this book said "overnight success" to me. She talks about how she left her high earning career and had her husband to support her as she took on this business venture in an industry she virtually knew nothing about. I would say this book is more of a memoir about how she was the exception to the rule in this one way, since it actually worked out for her.
If you are looking for ideas to market your business, unless you are running a multi-million dollar operation, you may not get much out of it since her strategies include hosting an award show with celebrities and getting Kylie Jenner to be the face of her brand.

I kept waiting for there to be useful information
