“Get Out of the Rabbit Hole is an easy read, and all you have to do is apply some of Alla’s principles each and every day.
The Rabbit Hole is not a place that you’d like to occupy in your life.
Self-doubt erases all your future potential and how you believe in yourself. It will also affect how people around you feel because of the lack of energy we can put out.
We all have a path, and this book will be your navigation system.”

About the Book
CONFIDENCE! EVERYONE WANTS IT.
But what do you need to achieve it? Throughout our lives, we might think that we need confidence or hear others say, or we say to others, “You need to be more confident.” Yet, no one says, “Here’s how you do it.” The problem remains: How do you become confident?

answers that question and more. Dispelling the myth that people are born confident, the book demonstrates how confidence can be acquired and mastered just like any other skill. Each chapter unfolds with the author’s personal, powerful stories and provides proven confidence-building strategies to conquer unfounded self-doubt, improve self-confidence, and increase your ability to navigate and succeed in real-life situations.

“Alla Bardov is a world class salesperson and a master story teller. In a world of self help books, particularly within the Sales and Marketing self help genre, Get Out of the Rabbit Hole presents the reader with a refreshingly simple methodology to acquire the confidence you need to perform at a higher level.
All Sales and Marketing executives have experienced self-doubt at some time in their professional lives. Some never reach their full potential because of it.

Get Out of the Rabbit Hole is a practical guide to acquiring the skills required to be a better Sales and Marketing professional. All professionals in business need to acquire new skills on an ongoing basis.
As CEO of a senior level executive search firm for 30 plus years, I provided professional coaching to thousands of executives during my career. I highly recommend reading this skillfully assembled collection of personal experiences and anecdotes if you want to reach your full potential as a Sales and Marketing executive.“

“Over the years, I have tried to make a point not to do too many forwards on books. To me, this is something that is very personal, and you really have to know the person.
Alla Bardov is an exception. We met through her son attending my basketball camp and became friends and, over time, family.
Although Alla had experience in business, I believe this book is a culmination of what she has experienced about herself. Over time she has learned to be confident, improve her performance, overcome her own self-doubt and reach her potential. She now has the ability to help you get to places you never thought were possible in many areas of your life and in business.
Alla has a beautiful spirit, and she is able to infuse this into each and every chapter with personal stories, quotes she has collected, and strategies on self-improvement.
Her book is an easy read, and all you have to do is apply some of her principles each and every day. The Rabbit Hole is not a place that you’d like to occupy in your life. Self-doubt erases all your future potential and how you believe in yourself. It will also affect how people around you feel because of the lack of energy we can put out.
We all have a path, and this book will be your navigation system. I value our friendship to this day.”

“I read the chapter about the I AM statements and needless to say it’s extremely helpful. As a student athlete, I tend to struggle with pressure and confident issues in what I do.
I feel as if the I AM statements can not only help with creating a positive mindset but also help me achieve my goals more effectively. If I tell myself everyday “I am successful,” “I am talented,” or “I am hard working,” my mindset will start to think more positively about what I do. And a positive mindset can and will help anyone achieve their goals. I really loved how you provided how to set your I AM statements and explained how they help so that people can see the effect they may have. I also loved that you provided a personal experience with the statements and showed how the statements helped you as an individual. Awesome, awesome work.”

Her life experiences resonate so much! ne should go back to Alla’s book time and again, for some extra support during one’s journey to a better self.”
