You Are a Badass at Making 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!

This book I could read over multiple times! There was so much great info mixed with humor which is a great thing. Recommend it to everyone

“If my broke ass can get rich, you can too,” exclaims the #1 New York Times bestselling author, Jen Sincero. The author is known for her down-to-earth humor and motivating like a cattle prod. That’s exactly what I experienced while reading. She’s a hoot rooted in spiritual badassness! She reframes limited thinking and replaces it with the truth about your badassery. Her purpose is to help people on their self-development journeys to remodel their personal and professional lives. Whether you haven’t figured out how to make money yet, tried and failed, made it but lost it, or need a jumper cable restart, Jen says, “ You can make loads of money, even the I’ma-buyin-everyone-I-love-a-house kind of money if that turns you on.” She believes in living large and in charge. Money can be a shameful, inappropriate, but also a hot, and alluring topic. People think they’re naturally supposed to know everything about money. $he debunks that in her book by flat out teaching you four steps; 1) wake up to what’s holding you back 2) make new powerful choices about what you focus on 3) smarten up about money 4) go for it like you ain’t never gone for it before. Each chapter ends with a few questions making sure your belief system is in check to receive your deserved riches. If you’re not, she provides exercises for that too keeping you on track. Sincero insists, “If you have a troubled or conflicted relationship with money, you have the ability to heal it, transform it, and become such awesome pals with money that you wake up one day to find yourself standing in the middle of life you’ve always wanted to live. Start making this change right now.” Her message is to believe you can because just being you means you’ve already struck gold.

There is a thrill when you do a marathon,any kind of marathon from 26 miles to 12 miles,even a run from the living room to the bathroom,there is a excitement that you get, you feel, you are thankful for, and I am very grateful for Jen Sincero and her brilliant writing."You Are A Badass At making Money;Master The Mindset of Wealth",I have taken so may notes and insights as I just finished it just now and wow, what a book,While this may not touch the issue that you have money here's now to put it use, it does tackle the issue of the one thing is may prevent one from place the money into investing and that's the mind and how we humans place so many obstacles and blockages from obtain that "golden ticket". In a refreshing way, Jen,writes about the ways the mind may suggest to you that what you are attempting is only for those who have done it before,make the money and now living the life of good. She writes with a edgy as in badass way to get you moving, toward your dreams and goals. It's not just I want the money to pay my living condition,but something more its' what you want to do with the money,is it help others,create a organization in the abuse of women,children,animals,etc. And when that idea hits,follow it with a passion to its end and along the way you will find those right people who have done what you are doing and willing to help, you don't go out climbing Mount Everest because there is nothing on TV, it's WHY you want to do it and WHY you feel about. I just finished it and it's a glorious book with insights,guides and that badass amount of love that we need so much of these days. Thank You Jen, Thank You!!!

I liked reading this, and I really enjoyed the stories that Jen shared throughout the book (both her own and from others), as well as what each chapter focused on. But despite enjoying what she wrote, the book just didn’t get up to 5 stars for me. I would say it's a 4, 4.5 for me. It had been a little hard for me to get into the chapters and understand the message rather than just reading the stories. So that’s probably what dropped the rating for me. I would still reread this, but it’s not a “wow” book for me.

*Just to preface- this book is not just all about making money to be rich! That is actually not her core intention, but rather a semi- uncomfortable, potentially way too clarifying of a lens through which you may uncover the true core beliefs you hold about yourself and your value to this life. Anyway, I am now low key obsessed with this woman and went back to read (listen to) her first book “You are a Badass” after this one because it was that good. Her writing style is so easy to get in to and she’s hilarious without going over the top trying to be funny (in my opinion). She is super relatable. There are so many aspects of her story that it would be very unlikely that the average person doesn’t identify with any of it. For me, there were so many parallels. Also, for me, it really did not come off like a self help book where she is the one on the outside who has it all figured out and has a bunch of one-size-fits-all steps wrapped neatly in a book for her faithful followers to act out. Instead she grounds everything from her experience and does a great job expanding from it to a universal level by way of open ended questions and verbalizing some all too accurate thought processes that may ensue as the reader attempts to answer them for themselves. Every chapter ends with very pointed self reflective questions so that you can figure out concrete actions steps from her inspiration into your own life. I’m not rolling in monetary riches yet, but this book really did help clear the mental path through the bullshit beliefs that I have let hold myself to living from a place of lack rather than one of abundance... and THAT is the first key to living a free, healthier life. Anyway. Obviously this book gets all the stars from me 💫👌🏻

I purchased the print edition on Amazon.ca and liked it so much that I purchased the Kindle edtion here on Amazon.com. I purchased this book out of curiosity because it had hit the "New York Times" bestseller list. As a international best-selling author whose books have sold over 1,000,000 copies, I like to figure out why a book does so well. Results don't lie, of course. After reading about two-thirds of the book, I can say "You are a Badass at Making Money" is a great book and I can see why it has done so well. But this book is not for the Dummies of this world. It's a book for creative, motivated people like me who don't suffer from the victim mentality or the world-owes-me-a-living syndrome. Jen Sincero incorporates her great sense of humor throughout the book. For example, while talking about money and the energy it represents Jen says, " . . . the fifty bucks you make by raking leaves for the lady across the street has a very different energy than the fifty bucks you steal out of some guy’s pocket on the subway." Incidentally, Jen Sincero was broke and in debt, in her words, doing things like buying food at dollar stores, until her 40s. After getting her act together, she now makes seven figures a year. This book has motivated me to get back to my creative projects and earn some real bucks again. You will hear about this later. Just a note that I don't really need to make more money. I just want to show that opportunities abound and that it can be done by a person my age. I want to show people that at the age of 72 I can still create works that will help me earn over $500,000 in one year. The best I ever did was have a pretax income of $339,000 in 2015 but Jen Sincero has motivated me to hit the half million mark.

Jen Sincero's "You Are a Badass at Making Money" is an absolute gem of a book that combines humor with invaluable financial wisdom. Sincero has a knack for delivering solid advice in the most hilarious way possible, making it not just a guide on money mindset but also an entertaining read. Her witty writing style kept me laughing throughout, which is quite rare for a book on this topic! Beyond the humor, the insights she shares are truly transformative—challenging old beliefs, inspiring action, and making the journey to financial success feel both accessible and exciting. If you're looking for a fun yet profoundly impactful take on money, this is the book to read!

loved it! easy to read but interesting stuff

Lo que más me ha gustado de este libro es lo interactivo que es. No es solo teoría; trae ejercicios prácticos al final de cada capítulo que te ayudan a aterrizar las ideas y mejorar tu relación con el dinero. Se disfruta bastante, aunque apenas vaya al 70%. En mi defensa, me estoy tomando mi tiempo con las dinámicas para que el decreto con el universo pegue con todo y funcione al 100% 🧘🏻‍♀️✨😂. Btw compré la versión en kindle ;) 10/10

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

Please trust me when I say this is probably one of the best books I've ever read. I have read all her books (I think!!) This one is my favourite. I've reread, scribbled on the sides, made notes. Created 'Canva' single page note cards as 'one liner's' that I felt were super important and stung me right between my eyes... BUY A NEW copy of this book so you can make this your own (jot, put sticky notes, do more jotting!) Don’t just skim it and expect to walk away with money pouring over you actually *READ IT*. Don't expect it to be dust, it’s a mindset overhaul (YOURS!!!) If your expecting others to do the work for you, get a different book darlin!! Will you get rich?? THAT'S UP TO YOU. BUY the book....!! 😘
