“Executive coach Burke sets out to learn what makes super successful women (in this case, self-made millionaires) different from the rest of us, and discovers that her subjects have much in common with each other: many grew up in middle-class or poor families and had to overcome some kind of childhood trauma. Burke shares insights from a number of these superstars in the hopes that their journeys will help others, with discussion of work styles, personality characteristics, relationship skills, mentors, leadership techniques, life detours, and the importance of resiliency. Readers will find sage advice for overcoming challenges, achieving goals, and maximizing opportunities.”

“Dr. Jude Miller Burke draws a compelling and well-researched map to wealth. This book is full of wisdom for everyone looking to break from old paradigms surrounding money and unlock the secret to financial freedom.”
— Emily Bennington, author of Who Says It’s a Man’s World“A fascinating topic and book full of interesting facts. I found myself underlining things and bending the corners of pages down. Interestingly, one of the things that almost all the women millionaires had in common was childhood abuse and some severe life adversities.”
