Does thinking about money cause you anxiety and stress? Many women are the primary money managers in their families today and find themselves trapped by cultural and social conditioning which brings up feelings of negativity and inadequacy. It doesn't have to be this way. Money can be a tool for creating the life you have always wanted. Written for women by a woman, The Woman's Guide to Money helps women take life-changing actions that will free our lives of money-related guilt and worry. By rethinking the way we look at money, we can learn how to help ourselves overcome the barriers that prevent us from pursuing our own prosperity. Many of us tend to have a preprogrammed sense of guilt when it comes to money, when instead we should have confidence and satisfaction. In this step-by-step guide, women will learn how to see the differences between "net worth" and "self-worth," how to overcome the fear of finances, and how to set goals and follow through with a plan. This book is about freedom, independence, and empowerment; it reveals how women can and should look beyond mere dollars to formulate an understanding of true wealth and abundance -- one that is not about greed and power, but concerned with life-enriching prosperity.
