The Reality Slap : How to thrive financially in a gender bias system

Having worked in the financial service sector for some decades, Lisa has seen the realities of many women’s financial future and you may be surprised to know that these differences between the “haves” and “have nots” are often quite small. Small but extremely powerful. She believes that by addressing those differences, we will pave the path to living a life beyond our wildest (financial) dreams.

It’s Lisa’s mission to change this by providing a reality slap of the facts, combined with a practical action plan of how to create a bright and abundant financial future. It is her desire to create this change by enabling women to be conscious and deliberate creators of their financial destiny.

The Reality Slap is a call to action. It’s written as a reminder that women’s financial future depends on them. There are factors working against women, simply because of our gender. But there are actions we can take to counteract those factors. It’s up to us to do something to secure our financial future. This is written as both a reminder and an action plan.

A Women’s Guide To Wealth: What my Mother needed to Know.

Lisa Barber’s life changed when her father died suddenly in a workplace accident when she was just 13. He was just 49. Her family suffered untold devastation. Barber was one of four kids and her mother, who had a “big heart”, also looked after foster children.

“You grow up really quickly after something like that and I wanted to help out mum as much as possible,” she says of her childhood in Toowoomba. The family’s grief was only made worse by immense financial strain. Her dad hadn’t organised a will and they were put at risk of being homeless. It had a “profound” impact on Barber and set her on a path as a financial adviser.

Lisa launched her first book dedicated to her mother— A Woman’s Guide To Wealth: What My Mother Needed To Know, written with the intention of providing access to the foundations of financial security and wealth accumulation. The tome is about helping people make the most of their plan A life, while empowering them to choose a plan B that will go a long way to financial security. It’s designed to help women gain control and confidence when dealing with finances, and using money as an enabler to live the life they want.
