A must read for women who want to be successful in life Sep 11, 2009
By Bob Waskiewicz
Patricia M, Annino has written a great book for Women who want to be successful in life.The chapters have everything from setting goals,Knowing your own worth,and taking risks.
Patricia writes that women spend a great amount of time focusing on the needs and wants of everyone else in there lives,but themselves.This is a key Strength,but also a key weakness.
She uses an example of the flight attendent telling you to put the oxygen mask over your own face first,before your young child.You have to take care of yourself first before you have the strength to take care of everyone else.
"Cracking the Money code" teaches you how to be as successful as Men.There's even websites for Image consultants and Strategic coaches to help even more.
The last page has a great quote from Carrie Fisher that sums up this entire book,"There is no point at which you can say,"Well I'm successful now,I might as well take a nap."
Strongly recommend for young women starting out Nov 26, 2009
By Jane A. Emerson
"Been There"
Ms. Annino's book was an easy read with useful insights. I am 50 and have lived through most of the scenarios described by Ms. Annino but did not implement her advice because her book hadn't been written yet. While I garnered advice that I can use now in my current workplace, I strongly recommend this work as must read for young women starting out in their careers. You may think you know everything about the struggles of women in the workplace but I thought the same - I was wrong. Ms. Annino uses her own career and its evolution to share and teach what she has learned the hard way. Her lessons are worth the time to read this book. You may think it doesn't apply today but I think you will find that, when thCracking the $$ Code: What Successful Men Know And You Don't (Yet)e situations hit you, you will remember and use Ms. Annino's advice.

 Cracking the $$ Code by Patricia Annino: a Quick, Informative, and Helpful Read for Women Professionals Oct 18, 2009
By C. A. Lajos
In this publication, Annino (B.A., Smith College, 1978; J.D., Suffolk University, 1981; LL.M , Taxation, Boston University, 1982; partner, Boston law firm of Prince Lobel Glovsky & Tye, L.L.P.; author of many articles and publications, not limited to Women & Money, A Practical Guide to Estate Planning and Women in Family Business. What Keeps You Up at Night?), a nationally recognized authority on estate planning with more than 20 years experience serving the estate planning needs of families, individuals, and owners of closely held businesses, sets forth a to-the-point, easy-to-read guide for women professionals, business owners, executives, and others hoping to jumpstart or get-ahead with their careers and earn more money. The author sets forth important "code cracking" lessons, strategies, and tips that successful men know, but women have to learn. In seven chapters, each of which is ended by a list of strategies covered within the chapter, Annino discusses knowing your worth, setting goals, getting and negotiating a contract, partnering, creating a professional image, taking risks, persisting, and many subtopics, not limited to delegating, marketing yourself, branding yourself, playing outside the box, finding mentors, building business, becoming web savvy, improving your time management skills, being creative, and more. She fills each chapter with many valuable insights gained from years of practicing law. While numerous other books have been written for women on the topics of moving forward and getting ahead professionally, this book distinguishes itself in terms of its no-nonsense, concise, personal approach to the subject by a woman who has ascended from the lower ranks of a business organization by means of experience. Lacking an index but including a table of contents and list of selected, recommended resources, this nicely-organized, well-written, and sufficiently well-documented, publication will interest mostly general readers and some women in business hoping to find a clear, quick, and sound introduction filled with useful advice. Not comprehensive or definitive, it belongs in many large public library collections as a supplementary resource.
Not a minute too soon Aug 30, 2009
By Barbara Reinhold
As an executive/career coach who has worked with women from Fortune 50 companies to entrepreneurs and artists, I could not recommend Annino's book more highly. She is a no-nonsense tax-estate attorney with a gentle touch, eager to share what she has learned from watching women of all ages sell themselves short when it comes to money. It's simple once you think about it, but it's real, and it's everywhere. Let Attorney Annino tell you what's really important about taking care of yourself financially--because no one else will!
