📖 You are a Badass at Making Money by Jen Sincero

Topic: Money mindset | Rating: 4/5

Summary

The subject of money can spur a list of emotions. But mastering the money mindset allows you to tap into this wonderful resource that can assist you in living a lifestyle you want. I’ve listed to her other audiobook, “You are a badass” which I enjoyed. Her self-help books are comical and engaging.

Why I read this book

I have decided to resign from my job to purse my passions and side projects. After reading this book I was more at ease at the thought that whatever I want in life (including money) I can simply manifest it.

My 3 key take aways & quotes:

1. Money is good and abundant 💰

Money has done so many wonderful things. It’s enabled commerce, communities to be built, schools and hospitals. To taint it with notions of greed and scarcity isn’t fair and will only limit you from welcoming more into your life. Money is a renewable resource and because you get rich it does not mean others are worse off.

“What you can and can’t afford is all in your mind.”

2. Money is energy ✨

One beautiful thing that changed my perspective on money is that it is an exchange of energy. It can show love, appreciation, and commitment. Obtaining something for free versus something at a high cost has a different amount of energy attached to it.

“Money is a blank slate that gets its value from the energy and meaning we give it.”

3. Allow yourself to be rich 🤴🏽

Seems like an obvious one but many of us have a strange relationship with money all ingrained from our limiting beliefs. We hoard it, show it off or can’t seem to save any of it with the best intentions. After identifying your limiting beliefs and repairing your relationship with money, act as though it is coming your way. Let the universe guide you and be grateful for all the things it can do in your life.

“Mastering the mindset of wealth is choosing to think about money, and your reality in relation to money, in a way that will make you rich, not keep you poor.”
