Book Description

December 31, 2009
Does your heart race when your credit card bill arrives? Are you one flat tire or one emergency room visit from financial ruin? If you think a secure financial future is out of reach, you're wrong. Let Marianna Olszewski teach you how to love your money instead of running scared from it.

Marianna didn't start out rich, happy and fabulous. A strapped-for-cash childhood motivated her to strive for abundance and financial independence-goals she exceeded by age thirty as a successful business owner and respected Wall Street player. Now Marianna reveals the lessons she learned on her own road to success and the savvy strategies of other amazing women. She shows how to let go of stress, break your bad money habits, take control of your finances, and finally achieve your goals and a happier, richer life.

You'll learn to:
-Say Yes to Yourself: Turn toward people and situations that enhance your life and well being, and away from those that don't. Until you start affirming your future through both thought and action, your efforts to improve your finances will fall flat.

-Fall in Love with Your Money: Having a cavalier attitude toward money is part of the reason many of us find ourselves in a financial pickle. But when you treat your money with respect, keep track of it and spend and save it wisely your money will always love you back.

-Act as If: If you think that change is impossible, think again. Start your transformation by acting as if you already are as successful, intelligent, and prosperous as you want to be.

Live It, Love It, Earn It is full of true stories of ordinary women who have overcome tough challenges, such as climbing the corporate ladder, getting out of debt, and changing jobs mid-career, to get the life you want. Marianna also shares insights from other successful women like designer Diane von Furstenberg; shoe mogul Tamara Mellon (of Jimmy Choo); fashion entrepreneur Tory Burch; the first woman to hold a seat on the New York Stock Exchange, Muriel Seibert; and Congresswoman Marsha Blackburn.

Let Marianna give you the tools you need to create and maintain and abundant and fulfilling life.

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Broker and life coach Olszewski tackles money woes in this fluffy success GPS for women who want to take control of their finances. She stresses the importance of financial literacy and champions famous and ordinary women who expertly handle their money. Fine ideals all, but Olszewski's advice ranges from the obvious to the downright infantilizing—it's one thing to instruct women to claim their power, but a book purporting to be a financial guide surely should not include such advice as take a bubble bath or wear a flower in your hair. Though her tone is admirably positive and her emphasis on visualization and similar techniques may appeal to the dilettante, this spacey attempt won't be taken seriously by anyone attempting to take control of her financial life.

From Booklist

Former broker-dealer and now money-and-lifestyle coach Olszewski selects nine strategies for readers to pursue for financial freedom, in the process presenting a mix of spiritual, psychological, financial, and practical tenets. The requisite proofs of success are featured, including interviews with famous women (such as fashion icons Diane von Furstenburg, Tory Burch, and Tamara Mellon), tips and tricks (for instance, create a vision board), and nine items to remember, from maintaining a positive self-affirmation to giving back. Moneywise, the rules are somewhat universal: love and respect the dollar (and sock everything you can into your IRA or 401(k)). Best takeaways are found in her success secrets and try this sidebars: No means nothing to me, Red flags are red for a reason (such as, don’t force happiness), and See the good all around you. Somewhat platitude-laden yet worthwhile reinforcement. --Barbara Jacobs
