In Thomas J. Stanley's new book, "Millionaire Women Next Door"
Over the weekend I celebrated my birthday and was given Stanley's latest book as a gift. I have not had a chance to read it yet, only scan the front/back covers and table of contents. It looks very interesting and I want to share the back cover's most poignant statement:
"Most Americans are not free. They are chained to their paychecks ... The women profiled herein will not tolerate such an existence. They are a different breed. They are free. They are cultivators of wealth and satisfied with life. They are in control of their own destiny."
Ring true with many of you?

Stanley is a super author and I suspect this work will not disappoint either. His work on "the Millionare Next Door" destroyed a lot of myths. I wonder if this won't do the same and prove quite helpful.
Thanks for the recommendaton, Laurel!!
Thanks Joe -- my pleasure. I started reading it late last night -- 60 pages polished off -- and it is fabulous. It is a book I wish I would have written!
Chuck -- without sounding egotistical, I really must say I have found myself (again) in this particular book.
I constantly wondered what people were looking for when they asked me, "If you were given $5 million dollars, what would you do differently?," and my response is always, "Nothing." That's what many of these millionaire folks have in common: simplicity, focus, goals, a sense of loving what they do, perseverance, dependability, a desire to just simply succeed and in the process, staying true only to themselves, being sensitive, conscientious and as Stanley so decisively puts, "cheap," and I have been called that too!
I could go on but I am enjoying this book so much and wish for all people to read it. There is so much more to take in and learn. I can't wait.
If you have time, please share your cognitive skills workshop methodology here for others to benefit too or in a separate email to me. I welcome more on your approach. Sounds interesting and valuable. Many thanks ...
