Self Made ─ Becoming Empowered, Self-Reliant, and Rich in Every Way

For readers of #GIRLBOSS and viewers of Shark Tank comes a guide to becoming self-reliant, self-actualized, and rich in every way by activating your entrepreneurial instinct and working to attain happiness through financial freedom—from the self-made mogul, real estate investor, TV personality, and founder of the empowering Adelante Movement, Nely Galan.

What does it mean to be self-made? It means that you own a part of yourself that no one else can take away. It results in financial, mental, and emotional freedom. It means that if you stumble, you can achieve success and happiness for yourself all over again. Informed by her experience as a Cuban immigrant who learned that financial independence equals freedom, Nely Galan has been spreading that message to audiences across the country. She tells women to stop waiting for permission to go after what they want from their bosses, spouses, and companies. For her, success is defined by helping yourself and your family to a better life.Self-Made is a colorful, no-nonsense manual for aligning your money with your mission. Galan’s frank and feisty approach motivates women to:

‧ Get out of survival mode . . . where you’re one problem away from catastrophe.
‧ Make money: Learn how to invest $5 each week and become a millionaire.
‧ Change your mindset from instant gratification to goal orientation: Don’t buy shoes; buy buildings!
‧ Focus on the ultimate: to work because you want to, not because you have to; to be able to reward yourself and your children with things like an education, trips, and owning a home; to feel actualized, self-reliant, and self-made.

Dubbed the “Tropical Tycoon” by the New York Times Magazine, Nely Galan is a women’s empowerment advocate, an Emmy Award–winning television producer, and the owner of Galan Entertainment, a dynamic, multicultural media company that has created more than seven hundred television shows in English and Spanish and helped launch ten channels around the world. The first Latina president of a U.S. television network, Telemundo, Galan is also the founder of the Adelante Movement, a national motivational tour and digital platform that unites and empowers Latinas socially, economically, and politically. She is a sought-after speaker who has spoken at the Coca-Cola Company, American Express, JP Morgan Chase, General Electric, the Clinton Foundation, and the United Nations, among other companies and organizations.
