The Money Queen’s Guide is a book written for the woman who has it all, but often struggles with the ability to balance her success with her future needs and goals. The Money Queen’s Guide will help readers to plan out their financial lives and plan for growth and success, while avoiding the pitfalls that can derail financial security along the way.
