“Suze Orman Brokers Her Growth; Show ’Em: She overcame debt, doubters to become a hit with TV, books”
“Orman, whose 56th birthday is today, went on to become a top-performing broker and one of the most popular self-help financial advisers in America.”
“Her six best-selling books include “The 9 Steps to Financial Freedom,” “The Courage to Be Rich” and her latest, “Women & Money,” now in its fifth printing. She hosts the Emmy Award-winning “Suze Orman Show” on CNBC, writes financial advice columns and is a high-paid motivational speaker. She’s written, co-produced and hosted six PBS specials and hosts a show on QVC television.”
“‘She brings firepower on every front,” said her publisher, Julie Grau of Random House’s Spiegel & Grau, in an e-mail. “She’s beyond tireless.’”
“Orman began to see her work as a mission: to help people overcome a dysfunctional relationship with money.”
“Literary agent Amanda Urban, who didn’t handle how-to books as a rule, once recalled how Orman’s enthusiasm changed her mind. “‘She had such an authentic voice, and that’s because she completely cares about what she is doing,” Urban told Publisher’s Weekly.’”
