In The Glory in Your Story, Monique Rodriguez has written a memoir about her life story and how she become a CEO of a multimillionaire hair consumer products in the multicultural category. The book touched on 16 different lessons such as, surviving the breakdown, one step forward, selling up, not out, keeping the main thing the main thing, and much more. She begins the book by sharing how when she was growing up, she had a dream to compete in beauty pageants. Her mother tried to support her but eventually made her give it up and go to school. She knew she was called to do something with beauty deep down inside her. Her mother wanted her to become a nurse. She worked as a unit secretary at a local hospital. She knew that if she could help her daughter to become a nurse that they would always be in demand. So, Monique got her degree at 22 years old and found her a nursing job. She stayed there for 8 full years before realizing that she wasn’t fulfilled. This taught her how to work well with others and theses lesson helped her to transition into her entrepreneurship. She went on to found, Mielle Organics. This company sells hair products and is still growing. One of the first lessons in the book was on not letting anyone to dictate your own dreams. She discussed her childhood and how her father was an addict. She explained how she had to have empathy for him. In the book, she also touched on losing her son and having to deal with grief. As we all have experienced, grief doesn’t just disappear it can hit us in waves at random times. She also shared how her company wouldn’t have existed without her son.
I would recommend this life changing book to anyone who is ready to learn new lessons that you can apply to your life, business, and relationships. You can use this lesson to also change the world and help make it better for others. I really enjoyed the topics and you can feel the passion and the love she has for others and the faith she maintained to get to where she is today. I liked how she encouraged readers on discernment and to realize that you don’t need to team up with just anybody. You have to learn who to trust and watch out for the red flags. And sometimes people will also come into your life and only be there for a season and then they must move on or we must move on without them. I liked how she included helpful questions at the end of each chapter. This is an excellent impactful book to read!
