Hodder & Stoughton You Are a Badass at Making Money: Master the Mindset of Wealth: Learn how to save your money with one of the world's most exciting self help authors

I’ve read and loved Jen Sincero’s books for many years now. She is a brilliant writer and an amazing soul. This is a must-read! I’ve read numerous books on money and wealth, this one is by far the most relatable. It will make you think. It will challenge you. And it will give you great ideas on how to start working on your relationship with money.

I've mostly been reading books on how to be the best version my myself and making money has never been my primary goal. I've earned a decent living and am not a huge spender, but the book (recommended by a friend) made me realize I need to change my views on money and what it can do or me, my family, and my community. I really needed this book and here's why.... None of us grows up unscathed by the crap life throws at us - good and bad. What is super helpful is the book starts off by asking the right questions. These questions are provided at the end of each chapter - especially diving early on into why we have certain relationships with money. For example, the author shares her story about how she didn't want to be rich because she equated her father's love with him needing to give her money to help her out. She was afraid that being rich would impact that dynamic, and essentially take away his love from her. The author, of course, tells this much better than I do here - but it's her personal stories that make this book make me go...hmmm, wonder what's keeping ME from being a bad ass rich *itch. My dad controlled all the money in our house and as a result I tend to hoard everything and am afraid of risking being controlled by money (and men with money) like my mom was.... and you can see the irony here as I am being controlled by this bad relationship with hoarding resources. The information in this book is helping me change all of that, including the language I used to describe my relationship with being a badass at making money - there is a very helpful chapter called "watch your mouth" on this. The author dives into topics such as valuing your time and energy - she provides an example of why you shouldn't be offering life coaching for free. I had just recently consulted on strategic direction for a friend's business and when she offered to pay (multiple times) - I just told her I loved helping her drive her business forward. Long story short, the strategic direction wasn't as valuable to the company because I didn't charge them anything, and it also reduced me being hired again as they felt badly not paying me - even though they loved the direction I provided to them! So the book goes into being a badass at letting go of devalued habits that reduce your ability to make money. I turned this around while reading the book by contacting my friend, sending her a long overdue invoice that she had asked for, and then her company asked me to come back to help them implement the strategic direction I had provided to them. KaaaChing$$$$ I suddenly turned an awkward situation into being a badass at making money. What I loved about this book is that it has given me tangible - "go get it" - advice that I put into play while reading the book. I now have a "you are a bad ass at making money" journal to compliment my gratitude journal and it reminds me there is no need to hoard resources as I really am a badass at making money. I held a garage sale last weekend and was so happy to let go of so many resources while seeing how happy it made neighbors and new friends to find fun stuff that had simply cluttered my home - plus I was a badass at making money that then allowed me to indulge in an amazing spa day! A newly found friend is an insurance adjuster - just as his father was. He told me he used to go out with his dad to review insurance claims when he was 8 years old . His father died when he was a young man and he's an adjuster primarily to make his father proud ... meanwhile, he knows he could be making more money being more than an insurance adjuster (the guy has other talents coming out of his ears!!!). We talked about this book. Just me sharing some of the stuff I had learned has already launched him into reading the book, and I cannot wait to see what he does by letting go of his deceased father's "expectations" of how he should earn a living. His knowledge of home damage and rebuilds, his talent for calming people under the stress of loss, and much more make him a great candidate for better paying opportunities or even starting his own consulting business ... or whatever the heck makes him happy and a badass at making money. He's currently way under payed based on what he has to offer the universe and what the universe has to offer him. My humble opinion is there is nothing but good that can come from reading this book, and although it echoes intentional manifestation of goals (like Tony Robbins and just about every other "not your guru" coach)... it's different in that it dives specifically into addressing deep seeded things that are holding you back from being a badass at making money. I'm a God loving/believing person, and this book does talk about the Universe (this can be defined as your God if you are a believer) having our back - so it can be leveraged in parallel with whatever you believe in. There is a course that can help you put the wonderful examples and direction provided in this book into practice. It's an 8 week on line course available on the Jen Sincero website. My humble opinion is it's helpful to read this book first, then consider joining the course if you need the guided direction to achieve a specific goal (starting a business, ending a bad relationship with something, etc.). Prior to this book I read Jose Silva's book on Mind Control and the exercises from that book plus this book are hugely impactful. Both drive home the need to control our destiny with simple exercises that really do work. I highly recommend both books with the Mind Control book being read before this one - I devoured both books in an uninterrupted "it's all about me" weekend. So hope this review helps you decide if this book is worth it for you... It's already made a big impact on my previously messed up relationship with money (and resources), and my ability to be a badass at making money. It's more than being rich - it's about reaching your full potential by leveraging money to work for you - not vice versa. Here's to you being a badass at making money!

It's an amazing read, the author is funny as hell and so helpful. Everything in the book is useful and empathetic to the reader. Great confidence builder and great life coaching advice! Makes you feel like a million bucks!

I absolutely loved this book! From the very first page, it was an exciting journey of shifting my beliefs around money. Jen Sincero’s writing is fun, engaging, and deeply insightful. Reading it daily felt like a motivational boost, pushing me to think bigger and take action. I also love the green cover—it perfectly reflects the abundance mindset the book teaches! And after reading, I listened to Jen Sincero’s podcast with Lewis Howes, which was equally enlightening. Learned so much from her! Highly recommend this book if you’re ready to level up your money mindset and attract wealth with confidence! #MoneyMindset #JenSincero #YouAreABadassAtMakingMoney #AbundanceMindset #FinancialFreedom #MustRead #MoneyBeliefs #PersonalGrowth

Muy buen libro. Llegó bien embalado y rápido

I couldn’t get past page 50. It’s a book about/directed to people being afraid of making money? I thought it would help people make money and keep that money. Not practical at all, seems like a “you need to manifest your money” thing and the stories she presents don’t make any sense - what does a story about being afraid of eating a calamari thinking it would be a worm has anything to do with helping you make money? It doesn’t make any sense and I couldn’t finish it. I don’t understand the positive reviews.
