Why most of the financial advice you’ve heard in the past (like “skip your daily latte to save money”) is absolute patriarchal nonsense. I get that women deserve more pay--they do, but this book is more talk about herself and how much money she has then anything else. There was some tangible advice, though I would have enjoyed this book more without the overplayed, cloying “girl boss” language. For a book that’s meant to empower women, it sure demeaned itself with all of the nonsensical “put on your sparkly tiara” and “grab your Chanel bag” crap.

We Should All Be Millionaires will forever change the way you think about money and your ability to earn it. Earning a million dollars requires a lot more than just 'a positive mindset.' This book is an honest, realistic, and inspiring look at what it really takes to become an extremely high-earning woman. Rachel Rodgers will give you a million-dollar attitude with a bank account to match.' Of course, you're going to have to make some mindset shifts, right? To get there. What got you here is not going to get you there. You're going to have to change your mind. That is the biggest thing that you have to change. You already have the skills, you already have the ability, it's just your mindset, right?

This is not to mention that you’re constantly battered with media messages telling you women are financially incompetent. You're not bad with money. You live in a society that is determined to make you think that you are. Don’t believe the hype: there are countless studies showing that women are actually better at investing than men. Rachel is the host of The Hello Seven Podcast and founder of We Should All Be Millionaires: The Club, an online network for professional women. Her forthcoming book, We Should All Be Millionaires from HarperCollins Leadership will be released in Spring 2021.

So! There’s a lot to like about this book. Take away the money focus & you have a strong, inspiring self-help about getting rid of shame and respecting yourself. I especially liked her bit about debt - debt represents all the ways you care about others and yourself. And you shouldn’t be embarrassed about caring. When one of my best sisterfriends introduced me to Rachel Rodgers years ago, I had no idea that a million dollar business was even possible for me. I couldn’t imagine telling someone that I charge five and ten thousand dollars to work with me. My nervous system is going into overdrive now just thinking about it. It’s not about how I perceive my worth or value. I’m really good at what I do and I get my clients results. It’s the idea that I could show up as myself and have that kind of money coming to me every month in less hours a week that I would have given any “good job” that’s out there, without the microaggressions, without being overworked, undervalued, underappreciated, and underpaid, without having to dim my light or play small, that is mindblowing to me. So, I'm like, holy shit, what's happened? And just so you guys have some context, this is my husband. He's super-hot. He doesn't cry. We've been married for 11 years. I've seen him cry maybe once or twice, so I knew something was serious. It's tough to convince people of what I'm talking about, but hopefully someone will read this and buy something deeper on the subject of money and starting a line that leads to riches. Only 10 percent of the world’s millionaires are women, making it difficult for women to wield the economic power that will create lasting equality. Whatever is stopping you from having seven figures in the bank—whether it’s shaky confidence, knowledge gaps when it comes to wealth building tactics, imposter syndrome, a janky mindset about money (it’s okay, we’ve all been there!), or simply not knowing where to begin—this book shows you how to clear every obstacle in your way, show up, and glow up.

Why earning more money is not “selfish” or “greedy” but in fact, a revolutionary act that brings the economy into balance and creates a better world for all. Rodgers’ mission is to teach women—especially women of color—how to end the cycle of overworking, underearning, and financial stress, once and for all.

I know I want to be financially successful, have a number in mind of where I want to be, believe I deserve and am capable of achieveing it, and am here for practical, tangible advice as opposed to more psychological encouragement. I am also not super engaged in the idea of owning my own business or side hustle, which is pretty central to wealth generation in this book. the people at the homeless shelter that you want to help would probably rather you create a job for them then serve them dinner.” she talks a lot about creating jobs for people. First off, no one is inherently good or bad with money. You aren’t born with an abacus attached to your hand or the natural ability to work a financial spreadsheet. Being “good with money” is an acquired skill. You can learn how to manage your money, make financial decisions, and take calculated risks. The Club claims your income will increase by at least 30% in the first twelve months and encourages members to have big money goals. A breakdown of her household staff, much less Chrissy Teigen's, didn't feel super relatable, but hey! That's kind of the point here I think. But if the point of the book is to be rich enough, or aspirationally rich enough, to hire help, is the point of the book truly that we should ALL be millionaires...?And guess what? You're doing your clients a disservice. You cannot serve them as well as you would with a squad to help you. Okay? So, again, always evidence. I'm a lawyer, okay? I like proof. So, here's the proof. So, a lot of you probably have experienced a moment like this, yes? Where somebody else was in control of your financial situation. Where some outside force was deciding whether you could afford your mortgage, or your daycare, or pay your car note, whatever important things, maybe even a medical bill.

Women often feel like this because they’ve bought into damaging narratives that permeate society. These narratives stop them from believing that they’re capable of making money and managing their finances themselves. Why most of the financial advice you’ve heard in the past (like “skip your daily latte to save money”) is absolute, patriarchal nonsense. Hello Seven is run by women, and primarily for women of color, however all gender identities are welcome. Before diving into how to become a millionaire, Rodgers shares her own story and helps us understand the barriers our own lives and society has placed in our way to building wealth. Women especially are taught to save small and not spend, because we are naturally over spenders. Rodgers calls BS and shows us that we are constantly undervalued and thus undervalue ourselves.The first part of this book is a story about her life, one which I found no interest in. We all have hard lives but this means nothing to how we become wealthy other than the motivational factor that we never want to be in a bind again where money is missing. And so I left the bank after talking to the branch manager. I got in my car. I had a really good cry, sobbed like a baby. And then I went home and I got to work. And here's what happened. So, I'm a diva, like Miss Beyoncé. And that means that divas hate when old white guys tell us what to do. We don't like that. And to be honest, I don't want anyone deciding my fate. Right? I don't want anyone making big decisions in my life but me.
