Vulnerable, Strategic, and Packed with Million-Dollar Lessons
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Julie Chenell’s Million Dollar Grit is one of those rare books that’s both deeply vulnerable and immensely practical. She doesn’t just share her journey from a struggling stay-at-home mom to a million-dollar business owner—she pulls back the curtain on the emotional and strategic grit it took to get there.
What I love most is how Julie goes beyond motivational storytelling to give readers an actionable roadmap. She shows that building a million-dollar business isn’t about chasing money—it’s about solving painful problems. As she says, “Money doesn’t follow a good idea; money follows whoever can solve a painful problem.” That mindset alone can change your business trajectory.
I also loved her reminder to “dig your well before it’s thirsty.” Julie emphasizes the power of building genuine relationships—with your customers, affiliate partners, and peers—long before you need them.
Most of all, Julie reminds us that our story is our greatest asset. Every struggle, setback, and lesson becomes fuel for growth. If you’ve ever doubted yourself or wondered if your past disqualifies you, Million Dollar Grit will show you that it’s actually what makes you unstoppable.

I thought I understood grit. I really did. But this book showed me what it really looks like in motion. Julie Chenell doesn’t just talk about perseverance; she shows how to rebuild, reimagine, and rise again when life and business collide.
As a business owner, I’ve always prided myself on endurance having had to rebuild and reimagine myself, but reading "Million Dollar Grit" helped me see where I was still playing small. Julie’s mix of raw storytelling and practical wisdom invited me to look at my own patterns, my capacity, and my courage.
If you're looking for a feel-good book, this isn't it. Every chapter pushed me to apply what I was learning in real time. The lessons about building an ecosystem, following the problem, and turning mess into momentum hit especially close to home.
If you’ve ever wondered whether your struggle disqualifies you, read this. You’ll finish feeling seen, strengthened, and ready to build something that matters, with integrity and grit.

Million Dollar Grit hit me straight in the heart. Julie Chenell doesn’t just teach business — she shows you what it really takes to rise after life knocks you down. Her story is raw, honest, and filled with lessons that make success feel possible again.
I love how she combines vulnerability with clear, actionable strategy. You walk away believing that your story — every failure, every hardship — can actually become your greatest advantage. This isn’t just a business book; it’s a reminder that you already have what it takes.

I’ve been a fan of Julie since 2017 and this book reminded me why. Million Dollar Grit is honest, powerful, and full of heart. Julie doesn’t sugarcoat anything. She shares what it really takes to build something meaningful and keep going when things get tough.
She’s real, she’s raw, she’s inspiring, and this book is worth reading. It’s actually worth re-reading too.

An honest look at what it really takes to build something lasting. Grit, discipline, and staying power—especially when it would be easier to step back.
