“Power attracts money, powerlessness repels it. Money flows through people. “

“When you are powerful you attract people.”

“Women made up over 51% of the working population in 2008 . Layoffs were needed yet women will work for free and give up their vacations. I had men calling in making over $250k and couldn’t get another job. Women would work wherever they could.”

“Corporations know we put ourselves on sale. Never ask a yes or no question. Walk in knowing your worth. I want a 10 or 15% raise. Which will you give me.”

“Don’t compare yourself.”

“Women need to demand as much as men.”

“Everyone used to have the American dream to buy my own home. Then 2008 and happened and people wanted to sell. You have to know to live your own American dream.”

“You need a 20% down payment, and then afford the insurance, mortgage, and an 8 month emergency fund. You need a buffer.”
