There are so many aspects to women owning financial power, starting with careers, 401k planning and knowing how to advocate for our worth.  Today's guest is Barbara Best, founder and principal of CAP STRAT and founder of the CAP STRAT Women's Forum.

Listen to this interview with host Natalie Benamou and Barbara Best as they discuss  how you can "Own Your Financial Power".

Tips to Advocate for Your Worth: >> Prepare by focusing on what you can control. >> Do some research and for the role. >> Get a sense of what an appropriate wage scale is by asking people you trust like your board of advisors. >> Make others aware of your contributions and what you have done to deserve an increase.

Own Your Financial Power: >> Maximize your investments with your employer's 401k plan. >> Increase your contributions annually. >> Leverage your Health Savings Account. >> Be engaged with your own finances. >> You don't have to be an expert to be engaged.
