What if financial freedom isn't about working harder, climbing higher, or chasing more - but about designing a life that actually fits you? In The Business of Freedom, entrepreneur and author Maureen E. Gilbert shows women how to rethink money, work, and independence through the lens of ownership. Drawing from two decades of experience building businesses while raising children, Gilbert offers both the financial frameworks and emotional insights women need to create income on their own terms. This isn't another hustle handbook. It's a roadmap for women who want more than a seat at someone else's table - they want to build their own.
With honesty, humor, and hard-earned wisdom, Gilbert breaks down how to: Move beyond trading time for money and start building real leverage; Understand key financial concepts like EBITDA, Cap Rate, and ROI (without the jargon); Evaluate and buy a small business that supports your freedom and values; Structure deals that reduce risk and increase stability; Align your "inner team" - the archetypes and money stories that drive your decisions; Redefine success around authenticity, security, and peace of mind. The Business of Freedom is both a practical guide and a mindset shift - a conversation between ambition and authenticity, between the woman you've been and the one you're becoming. If you've ever wondered how to build a life that makes both financial and emotional sense, this book is your invitation to start.
