Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Mark A. Parks, Jr. and his wife Connie own MarCon Consulting, a financial services company that has helped hundreds of individuals and companies with financial strategies, accounting, and organizational design for over twenty-five years.

Mark has served as CFO for the 29th largest county in America (there are more than 3,000 counties in America) and he has managed the finances for one of America’s fastest growing cities. During his professional career, Mark has realized the severe disparities in people’s lives, especially women and he noted the difference centered around financial resources. The discovery contributed to Mark’s decision to write this book that focuses on women and investing. Mark embarked on this quest years ago after realizing his sister, an extremely well-educated person earning a high salary didn’t understand principles of investing. When he asked other women about investing, he discovered the need for this information was great and it was not related to any one demographic. Having read statistics that show nine of ten women will be responsible for their household finances at some point in their lives, Mark and Connie saw a huge opportunity to help improve the outcome of families. Educating women in mass could have an exponential impact on America’s family’s finances.

Mark served as the financial expert for the CBS affiliate in Cleveland, Ohio, WOIO, informing audiences about the impacts of the financial markets and he has spoken at hundreds of financial seminars including periodic Women and Investing Seminars. Mark’s caring approach has helped him get access to women who willingly share concerns about their most challenging financial issues and then trust Mark to help guide them through the challenges.

Mark graduated from Baldwin Wallace University with a BA Degree and the University of Phoenix with an MBA.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow!! The financial bible that every young woman needs -- older women will love it too!
Reviewed in the United States on April 23, 2021
I LOVED this book. This is something I will keep close to me and refer to as my life journey continues to evolve. There were so many gems throughout this book and the tone was very engaging. I couldn't stop taking notes of items I need to consider or add to my to-do list. I loved Mark's unique approach to educating women about money. He used stories to convey powerful life lessons and that's what kept me hanging on to every word. Mark went beyond the numbers to capture the story of real people that I could relate to. Get this book!! You won't be disappointed. An investment in your financial education will pay off well beyond the cost of this book. You're getting a million dollar education within the pages of this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Gift!
Reviewed in the United States on October 6, 2020
I'm not sure why women are willing to dive into very difficult and challenging subjects. We read about relationships, social justice issues, and of course health issues, but we struggle to dive into financial topics. This book was written for women and it is extremely well done! The interviews and personal stories are great and helped me to not only think about my financial situation, but to make changes. My 23 year old daughter is reading the book and it's sitting on the top of her desk and it is creased (so, I know she's reading it)! Perfect gift for a woman in your life.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent guide to understanding investments
Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2019
I started reading with a little bit of skepticism thinking I wouldn't find any useful financial assistance.. But I must say it blew me away. I was unexpectedly let go from my job on September 4th and dug into the various stories. I then switched my 401k over into another more profitable fund. I also opened up a mutual money market account instead of a regular savings account, opened an IRA and called my cable and WiFi carrier and received a $40/monthly saving.
I just want to say thank you for your book as it has helped me a lot with planning for the future and savings now.
So appreciative of you sharing your financial knowledge to assist others with crucial and important decisions.

Reviewed in the United States on December 14, 2020
I was a little skeptical. Having some knowledge already, I was curious if there would be something here for me. There are scenarios of every real woman you can think of. Easily digestible and unintimidating. This is not a financial recipe book but just enough to get you going.
There's no reason to wait to be financially responsible to yourself or your family Well, today I opened my brokerage account. It was the nudge I needed.
