Above All Else, Succcess in Life and Business

Did you believe you had life figured out at a young age—only to realize you still had a lot to learn as hardships and loss became the norm? Author Nancy Butler knows how you feel. She married at age 15, had two children, and sixteen years later, she found herself in the process of divorce without any child support or alimony. Having limited professional skills, she set out to find a career that would not only support her children, but would also help other people. Told in practical anecdotal fashion, you will be inspired by Butler. Grow with her during her struggles as a young bride, and then mother. Learn from her as she finds a profession in which she not only finds success, but also helps countless people design their own future plans. Laugh with her as she shares funny moments from family life. Hurt with her as she loses her father and other loved ones, and then honors their legacies. Rejoice with her as she finds a second chance at love. Butler built her financial planning business to close to $200 million in assets under management and then purposefully chose her successor before leaving the business to pursue other endeavors. She has been quoted in many local and national publications including the USA Today and The Day. She has been a speaker for major corporations such as Pfizer, General Dynamics, and Dow Chemical. And she has been a guest on several live TV and radio shows.

At age 31, while in the process of a divorce with no childsupport, alimony or other source of income and only $2,000 to her name, Nancymoved herself and her children 70 miles and started her own business in anindustry she knew nothing about.  

At the new location she was offered a salaried position at ahigher pay than she ever had before but realized they were hiring her at "thetop of the ladder" leaving her no place to grow.  She knew she did notwant a job - she needed a career, so she proceeded to start herown financial planning and asset management business.

After building the business to approx. $200million in assets under management, Nancy sold her practice in 2007.
