Beauty industry expert makes best-sellers list with Shine book launch

Joan Scott has edited Shine: a ‘must-read guide to achieving success through a growth mindset.’ Twenty-four successful business leaders share their stories within the book, to help cultivate growth and inspire confidence and excellence. Available to download via Kindle or purchase as a paperback, Shine is a #1 Best Seller in the USA, UK, Canada, Australia and is in the Top 5 in Germany, France and Netherlands.

Joan Scott comments: “Shine explores powerful themes such as fear of failure and the importance of taking action with self-confidence and motivation. It dives into the journey of personal development, cultivating a success mindset and tackling common barriers, like procrastination and perfectionism.”

Featured authors include beauty client experience expert, Fiona Jackson; spa specialist, Kay Pennington; spa and wellness consultant, Jacqui Lee, and nail industry consultant & competition director, Jacqui O’Sullivan.

O’Sullivan’s chapter focuses on what has made her ‘shine’ – and how this can be fostered in others. She focused on nail and beauty competitions, and an extract reads: “Dealing with challenges and setbacks is a huge part of any skills competition cycle and through these experiences, competitors learn that perseverance and hard work is crucial to reaching their goals.

“This resilience isn’t just valuable in competitions, but important in everyday life. The skills they pick up along the way benefit them in competitions as well as in school and life, helping them develop a success-driven mindset.”

Joan Scott adds: “Readers are encouraged to build resilience, overcome fears and strengthen self-belief, while stepping outside of their comfort zones. Featured authors share their stories, challenges and the approaches that have worked for them. They highlight the value of discipline, mental toughness and courage in pursuing life goals.”
