Binding: PaperbackDewey Decimal Number: 650.12082 EAN: 9780060933463 ISBN: 0060933461 Label: Collins Business Manufacturer: Collins Business Number Of Items: 1 Number Of Pages: 304 Publication Date: 2004-03 Publisher: Collins Business Release Date: March 02, 2004 Studio: Collins Business Editorial Review: Amazon.com Review: There are more high-salaried women in the workforce today than ever before, yet most females remain seriously underpaid when compared to their male counterparts. Motivational speaker and financial journalist Barbara Stanny decided to find out why by identifying the differences between those who draw the big bucks and those who don't. In Secrets of Six-Figure Women she reveals what makes the leading edge tick, as well as how others can use the information to boost their own paychecks and self-esteem. "For far too many women, financial limits have become a fact of life. The thought of making more is like climbing Mount Everest, a colossal, if not impossible task," writes Stanny. "That's exactly how I used to feel." By examining scores of top moneymakers, along with dozens of those earning below their potentials, Stanny discovered what works and what doesn't. After analyzing the subsequent lessons (i.e., you actually can boost your income without selling out, the requisite traits to do so can be developed by virtually anyone, money really can't buy happiness), she proposes specific strategies for maximizing their impact (intend from the start to succeed, stretch yourself, manage any payoff with care). Stanny professes throughout that she desires to offer "insight, hope and guidance to any of you who aspire to earn more." With this surprisingly practical and ultimately inspirational guidebook, she delivers. --Howard Rothman Product Description: Quietly and steadily, the number of women making six figures or more is increasing and continues to rise at a rate faster than for men. From entrepreneurs to corporate executives, from white-collar professionals to freelancers and part-timers, women are forging careers with considerable financial success. In Secrets of Six-Figure Women, Barbara Stanny, journalist, motivational speaker,and financial educator, identifies the seven key strategies of female highearners: A Profit Motive, Audacity, Resilience, Encouragement, Self-Awareness, Non-attachment, and Financial Know-How. Based on extensive research and hundreds of interviews, including more than 150 women whose annual earnings range from $100,000 to $7 million, Barbara Stanny turns each of the six-figure traits into a specific strategy for upping earnings. By rigorously fine-tuning them, readers can, step-by-step, climb the income ladder. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Potentially life changing advice about earning more moneyThis is an excellent book. Barbara Stanny doesn't just theorize about money, she interviews women who are either high earners ($100K to $7 million per year) or underearners. One of her most helpful findings is that underearners don't work less hard than women who earn more, they just get paid a lot less for putting in all the hours and effort. Ms. Stanny also explores some of the psychological reasons that women might tolerate being underearners, starting with some assumptions that poverty is somehow ...

With insight and practical real-world guidance Barbara Stanny helps us discover our inner six-figure woman. Are you ready to find the answers? My copy of Secrets of Six-Figure Women is dog-eared, underlined, written in the margins and covered with sticky notes. I've used it in the question and answer portion of my seminars and have recommended it as a group ... Read More Rating:  - fuzzyThe "secrets" in this book are typical of the incomplete thinking that is common to so many books on success, as explained in "Hard Facts, Dangerous Half-Truths, and Total Nonsense" by J Pfeffer. In a nutshell, the author reveals these mundane "secrets" which also ignore the millions who start their own businesses and fail but who also follow these strategies: SECRET 1: Financial Success Is Possible in Almost Any Field, and Lack of Education Doesn't Have to Hold You Back. ...

I am so glad that I read it because it helped me to make some positive changes in my life. I would recommend it for everyone. Rating: - One of the best books I've ever boughtI bought this book a few years ago and I've read it several times. Now I'm buying it for a friend who is having confidence issues at work. I want her to realize that she's worth more than what she's getting right now, and I believe this book will give her that extra confidence! |
