How to Make it Happen

Turning Failure into Success

Success is not final and failure is not fatal.

Maria Hatzistefanis should know. Having spent 20 years building her own company (described by the press as 'an overnight success'), she acknowledges how hard it is to keep going and find your motivation, especially in the face of self-doubt, rejection and unexpected setbacks.

This punchy, easy to digest book spells out how to motivate yourself and harness your drive and energy to make things happen. With clear guidance, tips and celebrity stories throughout, Maria sums up her business secrets with three golden rules: set your goals; plot your trajectory; make it happen!

This book will help anyone looking to grow their business and enable readers everywhere to find their own 'Make It Happen' mindset. Everyone can learn from this book, no matter where you are in your career.

Maria is an entrepreneur through and through. She built an amazing brand from the ground up, and I can absolutely relate to her strategy.
