5.0 out of 5 stars Highly Motivating and Entertaining, March 29, 2007

This review is from: Earn What You're Worth: A Widely Sophisticated Approach to Investing In Your Career-and Yourself (Paperback)

With her breezy, girlfriend-next-door tone, Nicole Williams, author of "Wildly Sophisticated," takes readers on a journey of financial self exploration. With anecdotes from female entrepreneurs like herself, she encourages women to both explore and challenge their preconceived about success and money - particularly those which come from childhood. Williams also discusses our various "money relationships," from bankers and accountants to employers and even friends and family, as well as how we should approach them all.

Unlike other authors who challenge readers to save more and spend less, Williams encourages her audience to actually earn more. She does this by focusing on the concept of self worth (both tangible and intangible), our true values, and how that all translates into business success - or lack thereof. Highly motivating and entertaining.

This review is from: Earn What You're Worth: A Widely Sophisticated Approach to Investing In Your Career-and Yourself (Paperback)

I recently followed a friend's advice and purchased Nicole William's book Earn What You're Worth: A Wildly Sophisticated Approach to Investing In Your Career-and Yourself. Upon reading the first chapter, I knew I had made the right decision. The book is full of valuable knowledge and career advice that I will definitely never forget. Her sections about discovering how you are unique and identifying what you value really stuck out in my mind. The book made me aware of several essential elements of career success and I have learned to focus on what I really want and proactively ask for what I'm worth. Two thumbs up!

Put down the highligher. Every page in this book is packed with amazing words that promise to jump start you into a bigger salary and a true sense of self-worth. This book is not just for young career-minded women. It truly is for anyone wanting more for themselves. It reads effortlessly and has a genuine tone. Who ever thought a book of this genre could be a page turner? Incredible wisdom...makes me think Ms. Williams is in her 90s not her 30s. :)
