According to the Department of Labor, the average woman in 1998 was bringing home less than $25,000 a year. For every dollar that a man makes, a woman makes between 50 and 75 cents, and that is hardly news.

But what you may not know is that, quietly and steadily, the number of women making six figures or more is rapidly increasing. Currently, over fifteen million women make $100,000 or more, and the number continues to rise at a rate faster then for men. And these women come from every industry - psychologists, dot com founders, consultants, freelance writers, and even part-timers.

What makes these particular women able to do so well in the workplace? Fueled by curiosity, Barbara Stanny, author of Price Charming Isn't Coming: How Women Get Smart About Money (Viking Penguin), set out to research this phenomenon. What she discovered was that, though the high-earning women she interviewed came from different backgrounds and had had greatly different work experiences, they all had certain characteristics in common.

Secrets of Six Figure Woman: Surprising Strategies of the Successful High Earners will be a ground breaking book for high earners who want to ensure their wealth, enhance their success, and learn from others who are in the same boat. It will also offer inspiration, guidance, and motivation to those who aspire to make more.

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

There are more high-salaried women in the workforce today than ever before, yet most females remain seriously underpaid when compared to their male counterparts. Motivational speaker and financial journalist Barbara Stanny decided to find out why by identifying the differences between those who draw the big bucks and those who don't. In Secrets of Six-Figure Women she reveals what makes the leading edge tick, as well as how others can use the information to boost their own paychecks and self-esteem. "For far too many women, financial limits have become a fact of life. The thought of making more is like climbing Mount Everest, a colossal, if not impossible task," writes Stanny. "That's exactly how I used to feel." By examining scores of top moneymakers, along with dozens of those earning below their potentials, Stanny discovered what works and what doesn't. After analyzing the subsequent lessons (i.e., you actually can boost your income without selling out, the requisite traits to do so can be developed by virtually anyone, money really can't buy happiness), she proposes specific strategies for maximizing their impact (intend from the start to succeed, stretch yourself, manage any payoff with care). Stanny professes throughout that she desires to offer "insight, hope and guidance to any of you who aspire to earn more." With this surprisingly practical and ultimately inspirational guidebook, she delivers. --Howard Rothman

From Publishers Weekly

There are more women earning more than $100,000 today than ever before. But these high achievers have had a low profile, says Stanny, a motivational speaker and former journalist. In an attempt to reveal the inner workings of those money makers, she offers a concise, honest book based on interviews with over 150 high-earning women. The women's strategies are not revolutionary, and women seeking to earn more can certainly learn from them. Among the key tips: "stretch" (i.e., have the courage to do the things you think you can't) and "let go of the ledge" (i.e., rid yourself of an unfulfilling job, unpleasant relationship, inappropriate goal or damaging habit). Recognizing that a high income doesn't guarantee happiness, Stanny offers advice with the reader's personal well-being in mind.

Every woman should read this book

Reviewed in the United States on August 20, 2020

Verified Purchase

I have to be honest, the kindle book was a little too pricey for the average woman and I truly believe that every one should be able read this book. Nevertheless, the investment was worth it. The book is well written and easy to follow, providing the perspective of not only successful women but also women who classify themselves as underearners.

I highly recommend this book to every women because it is empowering and a useful resource. I just wish it (the kindle version at least) is accessible or affordable.

If the kindle version of this book was a little cheaper (because the current price point is just around a dollar difference compared to the paperback version), I think a lot of women would read and benefit from it.

It should be a book about empowering women to raise above their circumstances and the current price point is just insanely high. For example, if we want the youth (or recent college graduates) to also succeed in life in the most early way possible, it should be affordable for them too.

Not that I am devaluing the book or the author's brilliance and words of wisdom (as the book did mention that we should price our products and services how we believe they should be) but I really think if it was a little lower it would reach a wider audience and still maintain consistent sales and it's ranking. I truly believe it's a groundbreaking book and worth sharing (or getting in the hands of many women possible). Hopefully the author considers my review or suggestions.

Great book!! This book is all about fixing your personal insecurities around money narrative, how you self-manage money, talk of money, or of other's people money, and overall actionable and mental tips to be more confident with money.

I'm glad I bought this book because it was the NEXT thing I needed in my life. My husband and I were debt free 5/24/2019 by following Dave Ramsey (check him out!).I knew I needed to make more money so I can live my dream life, so her book was the perfect money mental preparation for the next money goals we planned to embark! Take this book seriously and manifest what she says; if not, it's going to be read as "just another motivational book".

Also, I'd like to point out that no matter your race, religion, adversities, income, education, marital status, kids or none, your past job experiences, we all have what it takes and many reasons to improve our money status- to be debt free, make 6 figures, or take a pay cut but to work that gives a purpose, etc. While stats and research conclude that if you're from a certain background that impose generally more adversities, it doesn't mean you can't do it. You may just have less or more adversities than your female counterparts but that still don't change the end results. The social and cultural issues she does address in this book are collectively tied to gender discrimination, women's financial literacy, and women empowerment.

I am a first-generation college student in my family, paid off my school loans (25k over 5 months) with just my husband's support, a woman of color, work in HR, a dream for a better future. Don't let your adversities stop you, be led by your dreams.

So far, so good.

Reviewed in the United States on December 4, 2012

I haven't finished the book, but what I have read so far is very interesting and confidence in my ability to be successful in the field that I am passionate about is increasing. Also, I really liked some of the quotes, saying and remarks I have come across while reading this book. For instance, on page 26 it cites "If you are not passionate, you shouldn't be doing it," "Loving what you do is much more important than what you do." On page 27 of the book it also cites "I believe, no matter how impossible it seems, once you decide to do what you love and be excellent at it, the money will come." These sayings rang so true to be because, for years (and even now) I have been working jobs simply because, I had bills to pay, not necc. because, I enjoyed them or had any passion for the work. And to top it off, I'm not making much money! So this book is really giving me insight and the confidence to do better for myself despite what others may think or believe---in the end, it's what I believe that counts.

only to find a better paying job

Reviewed in the United States on June 25, 2017

Verified Purchase

Although, I don't remember exactly what I read in this book, something must have rubbed off because I quit working at a job that wasn't aligned with my purpose and was actually costing me to get there, only to find a better paying job, but then wasn't a healthy environment, but instead of staying, I left much much quicker than it normally would take for me to realize it wasn't worth it.I didn't really try to stay and "work it out" or "deal with it" and then I finally just left the industry altogether to find something perfectly in alignment with me and my ultimate goals. I found that job a couple months later and when hired, I was given a raise on the spot, which as a serial under earner was a huge deal.

I definitely think to change we've got to learn from those who are doing, so although as an artist, I couldn't completely relate or want to be the women she wrote about. I do believe that this and her other book helped me on a subconscious level.

Along with this, I've been reading Overcoming Under Earning, also by Barbara Stanny, Mindset by Carol Dweck, and a book called Unleash Your Inner Money Babe by Kathrin Zenkina.

Life Changing Read For Women!

Reviewed in the United States on October 17, 2020

Verified Purchase

This book has changed multiple perspectives of my life. At first I was shocked to learn I had no real concept of my own relationship with money and was triggered when I discovered it was rooted in how my parents taught me (or didn’t teach me) how to deal with money. She explains how being an underearner is a reflection of your own self doubt and insecurities. This book is about more than money. I have never had so many of my personal fears discussed in a book and thrown into my face WITH a solution to the problem. By the end of the book we were discussing self care and tapping into the GODDES POWER we try so hard to deny and hide. I will be sending this book to many of my friends and rereading in the future! -Autumn Black

Enjoyable

Reviewed in Spain on July 22, 2019

Verified Purchase

For some time the title of this book put me off; I found it too commercial (and I still do). But when I finally came to it I was pleasantly surprised. The book is an easy and enjoyable read. After having interviewed many professionally successful women (six figures women) the author presents their perspectives and opinions on how to become, and to remain, financially successful. Unsurprisingly, many of the women quoted in the book indicated self-doubt, or self-defeating behavior, as the main impediments to attain success. The author identifies the dominant traits that keep women in under earning jobs and the must have attributes of high earners. These include motive, audacity, resilience and encouragement. She lays down seven strategies to bring these attributes into play: the declaration of intention, letting go of the ledge, get in the game, speak up, the stretch, seek support and obey the rules of money. The book also incorporates some simple, though revealing, self reflection exercises. I would recommend this book to every woman interested in changing her attitude towards money and what money might entail, such as independence, security and the ability to do good.

Truly inspiring

I happened to get engrossed in this during international women's day so couldn't have asked for anything better to feed my girl power fix that week. Well written, very informative, truly inspirational and the writer is great at making a clear point and elaborating on it. Love the personal accounts which is always a winning format for me and the book was refreshingly easy to get through. You'll be making notes throughout and sticking inspirational quotes all over your mirror in no time. Another dimension I forgot to mention was that this will literally change your mindset; as a woman and as anyone who wants a renewed understanding of what financial (and personal) success means, the barriers that can hold you back and strategies that'll chip right at the heart of them.
