Publisher's summary

For readers of #GIRLBOSS and viewers of Shark Tank - a global revolution in entrepreneurship is under way, inspiring women to blaze a trail of financial self-reliance and become self-made. Featuring a foreword by Suze Orman.

What does it mean to be self-made? It’s not just about having money, but financial empowerment is where it begins. It means getting out of survival mode, where you are one problem away from catastrophe. It means changing your mindset from instant gratification to goal orientation. It means being able to sleep at night without worry. It means being rich in every way: rich in money, rich in family, rich in love, rich in time - abundant!

For Nely Galán - entrepreneur, TV producer, and real estate mogul - helping women to become self-made is a movement and a mission. Galán pulls no punches. She is the straight-talking friend and mentor you’ve always wanted, and here she shares valuable, candid, no-nonsense lessons learned on her own path to becoming self-made (“There is no Prince Charming”; “Think like an immigrant”; “In your pain is your brand”; “Don’t buy shoes, buy buildings!”). You’ll listen inspiring stories of women who started and grew businesses out of ingenuity, opportunity, and need. You’ll find exercises to help you identify your goals and your strengths. You’ll learn tips and tricks for saving money, making money, and finding “hidden money” that can help jump-start your self-made dreams.

When you become self-made, the change in you inspires change in those around you, because one of the greatest rewards of a self-made life is seeing how the sparks from your personal revolution can light a fire in others. So come, join the self-made movement. The revolution starts inside of you!

Grateful I found this!!!

This book is what every woman of color needs to get busy and plant that seed she's been holding on to. Or even worse than that, not watering the seed she's already planted! To get up and get that business rolling and “stop buying shoes and start buying land!”

Highly recommend!!!!!

Self Made: Mindset, Risks, Sustainable?

What I enjoyed about listening to Nely Galan narrate her book Self Made, it gives good advice for aspiring entrepreneurs. From possessing an entrepreneur mindset to leaning into your network, these are useful tips. I especially appreciate her being vulnerable, sharing her story of challenges she faced throughout her life’s journey. What I found unrealistic, becoming “self made” seem to elude every women can become million or even billionaires. Is this really possible? Can you sustain that income? Nely was fortunate to have access to a network of people who opened doors for her. Not everyone is fortune to be at the right place at the right time. What I found interesting, besides her mom and the nuns, she was the obstacle preventing her from becoming “self made.”

Taking it to heart!
