Summary:
"From celebrity hairstylist, social media influencer, and wildly successful entrepreneur
Jen
Atkin
comes a glimpse into the glam life, with lessons and insights on how to forge your own path and succeed in business and in life. Hailed by the New York Times as “the most influential hair stylist in the world,”
Jen
Atkin
is a celebrated businesswoman, tastemaker, and friend to A-list celebrities like Chrissy Tiegan and the Kardashians...but her success didn’t arrive overnight. Her glamorous, jet-setting lifestyle came from years of hard work, humility, and hustle. In Blowing My Way to the Top,
Jen
shatters the illusion of effortless, instant success that permeates social media to reveal the sweat, dedication, and drive it really takes to make it.
Jen
chronicles her remarkable journey -- from growing up in an isolated, conservative religious community where girls were encouraged to marry young, to striking out on her own and breaking every rule and convention to build an empire valued at $80 million. Though
Jen
rebelled against the restrictions meant to limit her potential as a young woman, she has since formed her own core principles, which serve as the foundation of her daily life. In Blowing My Way to the Top, she offers insight into the values that have allowed her to thrive in the modern, digital landscape, from looking out for others to embracing humility and financial responsibility. As a trailblazer in a male-dominated industry,
Jen
also speaks frankly about the difficulties and challenges women face in business. She offers crucial advice, from the importance of running your business like a feminist -- hiring, nurturing, and promoting female talent; finding mentors; and building camaraderie amid the competition -- to learning to navigate the work and life issues that impact women most.
Jen
makes it clear to those who aspire to follow in her footsteps that while inhabiting the world of celebrity culture has its perks, it can also be dangerously distracting and misleading. Part personal narrative, part practical how-to, Blowing My Way to the Top is a fierce, funny, and inspiring book about how
Jen
built a one-of-a-kind business against all odds -- and how readers can take what she’s learned the hard way to live their own dreams."--Publisher.
