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 high earners: 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 increasing earnings. By rigorously fine-tuning them, readers can, step-by-step, climb the income ladder.
