Who Says Money Is a 'Man Thing?'

Loral Langemeier

Not so long ago, men made and managed the household money. The man brings home the bacon was the traditional mindset. It created an apathetic relationship between women and money. How could you feel good and confident about something that you knew virtually nothing about? Many of us were conditioned this way.

I know, I was as a young girl. But I also figured out that if I were ever to achieve the wealth I wanted, I had to change how I thought and felt about money and overcome that conditioning. I was determined to do that. I did my own research on money, spoke to just about every wealthy person I knew and found mentors -- people who would teach me, guide me and show me the way.

For me, it all changed and became real in my first "grown-up" job. I was working with a number of men, and a few women, who were entrepreneurs doing what they wanted to do. They weren't restricted to working a set schedule, following another company's rules for business or confined to a limiting job description. And they were incredibly successful creating their own, unique business ventures. I wanted that for myself.

Women can't have it all? Says who? Within seven years, I've become a multi-millionaire with all the joy and support of a wonderful family, too. It takes commitment and it takes team.
