The Millionairess Across the Street: Women: Lessons to Change Your Thinking and Achieve Wealth and Success [Paperback]

Bettina Flores (Author), Jennifer Basye Sander (Author), Jennifer Sander Basye (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: March 1999

More than 500,000 female millionaires already live in the United States. Many accumulated their wealth with ideas and hard work, not by marrying a millionaire. "The Millionairess Across the Street" inspires women to think more powerfully about money and success and to be motivated by confidence, pride, and a belief in their own ability to manage it. Flores and Sander don't use fear of ending up alone or dependent as a motivator. Women will learn to enjoy the process of accumulating wealth and achieving success without the guilt and fear they traditionally experience.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not Just For Women, January 30, 2000

This review is from: The Millionairess Across the Street: Women: Lessons to Change Your Thinking and Achieve Wealth and Success (Paperback)

I found this book to be very real. Nitty -Gritty advice and common sense approach. Though I've read enough books and didn't expect much new, i found this to be one of the best books I've found and have recommended it to many friends - both men and women. For anyone of either gender who is 'coming from behind', who hasn't been graced with the unquestioned belief in their rightful place among the population of the successful, this book is an eyeopener.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Millionairess Across the Street, March 26, 2000

You've got to read this book if you are a woman! Jennifer and Bettina teach women that we should start looking at our earnings like a man does his. How come we give our money away? Don't negotiate the deal for bigger bucks? After this book, I took their advice to heart and managed to secure $4,000 more dollars in a work deal. I've made more in a few months than I made last year because the book taught me how to look at success and work and money. I've also learned to ask for what I want! This book changed my life. It's also a quick, easy and inspirational read. Keep your copy in your briefcase. That's where I keep mine.

4.0 out of 5 stars Think differently -- see what happens!, December 22, 1999

Ms. Flores teaches women (and men!) to think outside their usual conventions and to change their feelings about money. She gives strong examples for those of us who learn visually. Additionally, the thinking and writing exercises are excellent.
