The Better Life Book: Lessons Learned on the Road from Rags to Riches - Tapa dura

Raised in a three-room shack with no running water in rural Canada, Rosemarie Francis was under pressure from her alcoholic, abusive father to aim for a job at the local chicken-packing plant. Instead, she put herself through college at night, bought her first house at 18, earned her CPA designation at 21, and rose through the corporate ranks to create a life of magnificent wealth and accomplishment. It wasn&;t easy to reach so far beyond the confines of her limited upbringing, but Francis is living proof that it can be done, and in The Better Life Book, she shares her secrets.

Whatever your goals, Francis argues that your ability to reach them rests on getting the basics right. Without these in place, she says, all the planning in the world will not get you where you want to go. With its plain-spoken warmth and sincerity, the book is a down to earth, common sense approach to self-development that anyone can follow to achieve the life they want.
