Essential Read: Get over your damn self - The no BS blueprint to building a life-changing business by Romi Neustadt

August 12, 2017 Melanie Hawken
Romi Neustadt

Romi Neustadt

Building a successful niche business is something that entrepreneur and author, Romi Neustadt, is passionate about. Today with her direct approach and humorous writing style, she is helping others build lucrative niche businesses and create lives with more freedom and flexibility, greater purpose and a lot more fun. 

 

In her new book, Get over your damn self: The no BS blueprint to building a life-changing business, Romi Neustadt offers you the same direct, no-BS coaching she's given to tens of thousands to help you acquire the skills to build your business and teach your team to do the same. And, equally important, she'll work on your mindset so you stop over complicating it all and stop letting the negative voices in your head win. You're going to learn the three Ps of Posture, Possibilities, and Power. Firstly, how to develop the Posture to confidently connect with anyone about your business and your products. Secondly, the Possibilities for building a lucrative, efficient and enormously rewarding turn key business. And thirdly, the way to find the Power that's already within you to build the life you really want... if you dare.

Author quotes

I wrote this book to help you create the kind of business your team will want to emulate, and the duplication that you need to create to get you where you want to go, not just in this profession, but in life.
It takes more than skills to advance in title and grow a large organisation. It also requires an understanding and awareness of the mindset and behaviours you need to reach your big goals. 
Everyone has the potential to grow the business of your dreams. You can be a successful CEO of your business, while creating and living the life you really want.

About the Author

Romi Neustadt is a former corporate (first a lawyer, then a PR executive) who traded in the billable hour for more time and financial freedom through network marketing. She built a 7-figure business in less than three years that's allowed her and her doctor husband John to design the life they really wanted. She loves unlocking the potential in others so they, too, can choose how they live, work, parent and play. Romi lives in San Diego with John and their two proudest achievements, Nate and Bebe.

Why LoA loves it….

There are lots of ‘how to’ books out there on the market when it comes to building successful businesses. Get over your damn self by Romi Neustadt is definitely one of those must-reads - it’s enjoyable, filled with humour and honesty, and also a practical blueprint for others to follow. Her expertise in the field of network marketing provides a wealth of insights that can be applied not only in her own business sector, but for any woman entrepreneur looking to maximise the potential of her own business. --- Melanie Hawken, founder and editor-in-chief of Lionesses of Africa
