There’s is a brilliant study over on her website where you can see how Gritty you are.
“Grit is passion and perseverance for very long-term goals. Grit is having stamina. Grit is sticking with your future, day in, day out, not just for the week, not just for the month, but for years, and working really hard to make that future a reality. Grit is living life like it’s a marathon, not a sprint.”

Awaken The Giant Within by Tony Robbins
Tony Robbins is the ultimate life coach, his books are a long read but they give so much value. This book taught me about how to respect each others values and use that to focus on what’s important to you and that it’s ok if someone else has different values to you. Reading this book helped me understand myself and others and a whole lot more. It is one of my dream to attend one of his life changing seminars they are held in huge arenas. Theses seminars go on for a few days and have experiences like fire walking. Tony Robbins mission is to stop any suffering in the mind of every human being he finds. He has an interesting podcast series on his website.
Tony Robbins has a documentary on Netflix ‘I am not your Guru’ which is a unique glimpse into his world famous seminars.

Don’t Sell by Emil McMahon
This is the most current information on retail I have found. I love how the title instantly tells you how to be a better sales person and inside there is so much information about sales in the modern world like Amazon and how we can can use these techniques in our salons and on social media.
“Drawing on personal experiences, salon business and the challenges sales people face in their daily life, I’ve created a story that can be used in salons and on sales calls that will help overcome the challenges faced in the world of retailing.”

One Minute Salesperson by Spencer Johnson
This was the very first motivation self help guide I was ever given. It made my working life better and easier and in lots of ways and holds the secret to many of my success. The main thing’s I got from it was that sales is not bad, you are helping people and the key is to find what they need! Simple really you have to care enough to ask the right open question’s, find out every client’s individual needs, worries concerns and then help them by recommending things that will help. When you truly care a sale is a natural outcome.
