Think Like a Breadwinner - A Wealth Building Manifesto
by Jennifer Barrett
n Think Like a Breadwinner, Jennifer Barrett challenges the traditional mindset around women and financial independence. Drawing from her own journey of shifting perspectives and financial habits, Barrett inspires readers to reimagine what it means to take ownership of their financial future. Through relatable stories, actionable advice, and empowering insights, she breaks down how women can build wealth, make confident financial decisions, and live life on their terms.
This book is more than a financial guide—it’s a call to action for women to prioritize their long-term well-being, redefine success, and embrace the role of a breadwinner in their own lives. Whether you're looking to boost your confidence around money, improve your financial literacy, or create a path toward greater independence, Think Like a Breadwinner is an inspiring read that equips you with the tools to take control.
Perfect for our book club of driven women in the appraisal profession, this read will spark insightful discussions on breaking through limiting beliefs, building financial security, and paving the way for future generations of women to thrive.
The book will be discussed throughout the January, February, and March.
