Publisher's Summary

Quietly and steadily, the number of women making six figures or more is increasing and continues to rise at a rate faster than for men. From entrepreneurs to corporate executives, from white-collar professionals to freelancers and part-timers, women are forging careers with considerable financial success.

In Secrets of Six-Figure Women, Barbara Stanny, journalist, motivational speaker, and financial educator, identifies the seven key strategies of female high earners: Profit Motive, Audacity, Resilience, Encouragement, Self-Awareness, Non-Attachment, and Financial Know-How.

Based on extensive research and hundreds of interviews, including more than 150 women whose annual earnings range from $100,000 to $7 million, Stanny turns each of the six-figure traits into a specific strategy for upping earnings. By rigorously fine-tuning them, listeners can, step-by-step, climb the income ladder.

Critic Reviews

"A concise, honest book...Stanny offers advice with the reader's personal well-being in mind." ( Publishers Weekly)

Loved it

Although, now I think six-figures is a bit limiting! Can we have an updated edition titled, “Secrets of Seven-Figure Women”?? In all seriousness, this audiobook entered my life at an opportune time—when I decided to leave law firm life (where I was terribly undervalued and not appreciated at all) to branch off and start my own solo practice! I will be referencing this book for many years to come, I’m sure. Hopefully, one day I’ll have a legal practice run by powerful, compassionate, and ambitious women!

Every Woman Needs to Read This

Every Woman Needs to Read This!! This will be the first book we read in my new online book club and I will buy copies for women in my life to read. Exceptional. Own your power ladies, the World needs it!

Great Read!

Honest book discusses pros and cons of six figure earning. Was motivated and applied some techniques and changed thought patterns while listening to it.

Very motivating

I learned a tremendous amount and enjoyed this book at the same time. The opposite of boring! Life changing! (I just have to get over my fears that I wasn’t aware of that are holding me back.)

Great information, dull narrator

The narrator was dull and monotone. She brought absolutely no life to the story's of some amazing women. The content is a 5, The delivery was a 1.

Life Changing

What made the experience of listening to Secrets of Six-Figure Women the most enjoyable?

The book helped me look deep inside myself to discover the reasons why I am under earning. It helped to uncover experienceces as a child... that had a negative psychological impact on how I viewed money and what I thought I was capable of. Now that I know my debilitating issues, I can address them head on. Change starts from within, a mental shift is essential for any women to achieve her highest potential.

Changed my life

I played it at 1.5 speed and felt like the plane ride profoundly changed my way of thinking

Good Listen

I am a six figure woman and I agree with what she talks about, both from the standpoint of a previous under earner and now a high earner.
