Book
Summary
Book: Memoirs of the
Money Lady: Is This a Great Business or What! My
initiation into the financial field began after receiving a family inheritance
and meeting a persuasive broker. Snowing me with his sales skills and treating
me as his “special” client, Mr. Enthusiasm and Charm… - Sold
me a potpourri of financial programs I didn’t understand or need
- Pushed
his “couldn’t lose” tax shelter schemes
- Flattered
me into unpaid temping for his new firm
- Continued
losing my money, then
- Cajoled me into earning
a securities license to make up my personal investment losses
Reading
this book will bring you: - Enjoyment: Balance
between fun and profit—threading the serious business of money through a
humorous memoir for a positive message.
- Motivation/education:
For women, especially, to come away empowered to handle their own finances and
have enough general information to get started. I hope readers will learn that
dealing with money does not have to be a difficult, time consuming or unhappy
task.
- Permission: Not to have to know everything
whether about finances, job or career. Everyone makes mistakes—often big
and costly ones. By sharing my experience in a completely new and difficult field,
and candidly telling my story, women in the business world can absorb the message
that if I can make it… any of them can, too.
