Melissa Treviño, an MBA student at EGADE Business School of Tecnológico de Monterrey, recently published her book Money Boss: Conviértete en el jefe de tus finanzas (Become the Boss of Your Finances), which offers tools to improve personal financial management.

Treviño shares that the book was written to help readers achieve their financial goals and make the most of their money, regardless of their stage in life.

With Money Boss, the author also seeks to convey the message that: “Finance doesn’t have to be hard or complicated. We can all improve our financial situation if we turn to the right sources and apply the basic principles I outline in my book.”

Professionally trained in finance, Treviño identified a significant knowledge gap in personal finance in Mexico. This insight led her to launch El Peso del Dinero, a blog that aims to explain financial concepts in a simple and useful way.

As she continued to publish content, people began reaching out with questions and requests for personalized advice. This close engagement with her audience inspired her to write Money Boss, maintaining her blog's same clear and approachable tone.

The author shares that her motivation to learn and teach about finance stems from personal experience: “My family wasn’t privileged, and at one point, we faced major financial difficulties that triggered abrupt changes in our lifestyle.”

Treviño noted that her experience in the EGADE MBA strengthened her interest in creating a positive impact. The academic environment gave her the tools to structure and share her knowledge with a broader audience.

“As I see it, EGADE gave me the foundation to find more ways to share what I know and to become a driver of change in my community and my country,” she said.

As part of her outreach efforts, Money Boss was presented at major literary events including the Monterrey International Book Fair, the Guadalajara International Book Fair, and the Coyoacán International Book Fair.

The book is available on Amazon in both print and digital formats.
