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.

Every woman should read this book
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.

You have what it takes #believe
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.

Life Changing Read For Women!
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 didnât 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

helpful strategies (dated but useful)
I found this work to be insightful, informative and inspiring as someone who has and is still learning what it means to utilize oneâs power in various markets. I appreciate what has been named even though there has been some level of evolution to the application of the strategies named. A helpful work in terms of identifying other resources and tools as well.

Potentially life changing advice about earning more money
This is an excellent book. Barbara Stanny doesn’t just theorize about money, she interviews women who are either high earners ($100K to $7 million per year) or underearners. One of her most helpful findings is that underearners don’t work less hard than women who earn more, they just get paid a lot less for putting in all the hours and effort. Ms. Stanny also explores some of the psychological reasons that women might tolerate being underearners, starting with some assumptions that poverty is somehow more noble or that focusing on attaining high earnings means sacrificing too much in the rest of your life. Also useful was her finding that many of the high earning women decided to increase their financial security after a painful life event such as bankruptcy or burnout. Setting a clear intention to become a high earner was their first step in making it happen. If you are unhappy with your current earnings level, this book may offer life changing steps to do something about it.

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.

This book was recommended to me by a fellow beachbody coach and I cannot put it down. I’ve already bought a copy for my business partner and have been recommending it to at least one woman EVERY DAY. If you’re struggling financially, if you’re making money but are feeling overwhelmed or stuck, if you feel a need for something more from your life… this book will open your eyes and have you ask yourself a few questions.

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.
