I often feel overlooked and underestimated because I am a woman in my field. It doesn’t help that I look younger than I am, and have repeatedly been mistaken for a teenager. So I decided one day that I wanted to read up on how other women over-come the gender difference, especially when it comes to making money.

In general, I’m skeptical of books about “secrets” and “millionaires” and “six-figures” and the like. But this one had good amazon reviews, so I gave it a try. And I am glad I did. The book tells you first what low-earning women do that sabotage their careers. Then it looks at what high-earners are doing different. I don’t think any of the ideas where new or groundbreaking, but the ideas were presented in a very inspirational way. After reading a chapter I felt energized and wanted to make the recommended changes, right away.

I liked the book so much, I recommended it to my mom, and plan on giving her my copy. It has the kind of information and inspiration that I want to share with all the women I care about.

The only negative I could see is that the book would best benefit women who are stuck as a low-earners. Women who have already achieved the six-figures or close to it, probably wouldn’t benefit as much. Also, there is a finance section in the book but it is very basic and merely an outline. Anyone looking for a complete solution for six-figures should also read about finance more specifically.
