” To say Susan provides a hefty intravenous shot of positivity through everything she does, is an understatement. However, as we all know, positivity is a vastly abused and misunderstood word these days – so it’s important to contextualise Susan’s version of it. It’s an attitude of reality tempered by change and possibility – of newness and active engagement in making a difference in ones’ own economy.”
“This girl practises what she preaches, and she is on a mission to help women (and men) to gain financial independence, whatever that might mean to them. “It means different things to different people,” she said, adding that for one person it might mean the freedom to take Wednesdays off, or to earn another £5,000 a year, while for another it might mean making half a million pounds.”
“So I sat in a coffee shop and did all my figures, I worked out what I had earned and what I needed to earn to pay it all off and to be Financial free, even doing the exercise felt liberating, I took the first positive step to financial freedom and it felt good. I took my own advice and I got organised, I took Susan’s advice and got savvy.”
“The tone of The Savvy Woman’s Guide to Financial Freedom is very friendly, warm and conversational, as if all the advice is coming from a (very expert!) girlfriend over a latte.”
“She encourages positive thinking, and pushes you to work hard. Whether dipped into or read from cover to cover, this book has most of the answers. Follow Hayes’ advice, and you are well on the way to achieving financial independence.”
“Your book was not only the first step in financial guidance, it actually allowed me to think for myself in making steps 2,3 and beyond. This is, I suppose, the difference between your book and the other books out there that ‘promise’ to change everything. The ‘others’ miss the point that at the end of the day, it is imperative that the individual is not only told what to do, but they get to be in control and get creative with their own ideas and wants.”
“Last night I was able to see areas where I can cut my costs, and how I can do that. And for the first time after several months of going into over draft, this month, because of sticking to the budget, I had £311 left in my account. Now I can use that towards clearing off my credit card debt. In the past I could only pay a minimum amount on the card, now I know that if I stick with the budget I can clear that debt. I got the enthusiasm to start doing this from reading your book.”
