LIVE IT, LOVE IT, EARN IT: A Womens' Guide To Financial Freedom Author Marianna Olszewski

Marianna Olszewski wasn’t always rich, happy, and fabulous. But her strapped-for-cash childhood motivated her to strive for abundance and financial independence -- goals she exceeded by age thirty as a successful business owner and respected Wall Street player. Now she shares the lessons she learned on her own road to success and riches in LIVE IT, LOVE IT, EARN IT: A Woman’s Guide to Financial Freedom (to be published by Portfolio in January 2010). She shows women of all ages how to break bad money habits and take control of their finances so they can lead happier, richer lives. A sample of her tips: •Fall in Love with Your Money: Having a cavalier attitude toward money is part of the reason many of us find ourselves in a financial pickle. But when you treat your money with respect, keep track of it and spend and save it wisely your money will always love you back. •Act as If: If you think that change is impossible, think again. Start your transformation by acting as if you already are as successful, intelligent, and prosperous as you want to be. •Say Yes to Yourself: Turn toward people and situations that enhance your life and well being, and away from those that don’t. Until you start affirming your future through both thought and action, your efforts to improve your finances will fall flat. LIVE IT, LOVE IT, EARN IT is full of true stories of ordinary women who have overcome obstacles like climbing the corporate ladder, getting themselves out of debt, and changing jobs mid-career. Marianna also shares insights and savvy strategies from various highly accomplished women like fashion designer Diane von Furstenberg and Congresswoman Marsha Blackburn.
