Great Book About Women And Money
Posted by: | CommentsI’m currently reading a really great book about women and money. It has really opened my eyes to some of the patterns that exist in the culture around us, as well as a few that I’ve been ‘acting’ out myself. It helped me feel a desire to dig into managing my finances more pro-actively again, and has given me more of a feeling of ‘relaxation’ around money – and I haven’t even finished it yet. Looking forward to discovering more as I continue…
The book is called, “Money, A Memoir: Women, Emotions and Cash” by Liz Perle.
Liz Perle digs deep into her own emotional relationship to money, interviews other women of a variety of ages and chronicles some of the shifts that seem to have happened (and continue to happen) around women’s relationship to cash. Your emotional involvement with money can lay the foundation for your success, or for your failure (which, as Liz proves, can be temporary – so not failure at all, only a temporary set-back).
This is the first book my good friend, and amazing Money Therapist and Coach, Lora Sasiela chose for her new (and free!) ‘Book Salon’. Each month she will recommend a book, then host a call where the book’s topic and the ideas proposed can be discussed, giving you a chance to dig deeper into your relationship with money and create the shift that can bring you to a place where you can FINALLY allow the money and abundance into your life that you desire. If you are interested in participating in Lora’s Book Salon just visit her fabulous website www.FinanciallySmitten.com and sign up to be notified about the next book she selects.

Book: Delivering Happiness
Posted by: | CommentsJust finished this great book by Tony Hsieh (pronounced ‘Shay’)… it was a gift given at an event where he spoke and had all the attendees select their own attendance fee amount, which went directly to charity. The book covers Tony’s entrepreneurial highlights from a very young age all the way through recent events, including the stock transaction purchase of Zappos by Amazon. The lessons learned along with way vary tremendously, and are applicable to pretty much any entrepreneur of any size – I know many will remain in my mind as I build my business and work on focusing in the right areas.
I highly recommend the book – it’s a great read, very entertaining and chock full of great advice and information. It’s always good to get an inside peak at something that appears to be ‘smooth’ and ‘easy’ and find out about the hard work, nail biting moments and perseverance it takes to create that ‘smooth’ and ‘easy’ outward appearance. I find it very inspirational – helps me remember, on those tough days, that if I just stay focused and keep on moving toward my goals, I CAN get there… an important thing to keep in mind when things are a little bleak, so take heart – and read this book!
