You Are a Badass at Making Money: An Honest Review

You are a Badass at Making Money

I have to admit, it has been a while since I have done a book review.  Although I am constantly reading, I have not been “WOWED” by a book in some time.  That was until You are a Badass at Making Money.  I always knew I had a struggle with the “money mindset” but I never knew how to get over it until this book.  Let me review how it helped!

My Childhood

As the youngest of three children in a blue collar neighborhood, my family never wanted for anything.  My mother was a stay at home mom and my dad was a state trooper.  We lived in a small house in which I shared a room with my sister.  We always had food on the table, we had a nice trailer and traveled about 4 weeks out of the year, and we had the best Christmas’s ever! But even though we didn’t struggle, my dad would always say “money doesn’t grow on trees”.  My mom would cut coupons and my parents were very frugal.  And there is nothing wrong with that!

Later Years

As I got older and started earning my own money, I was good with saving money and making what I earned go a long way.   Then I became a stay at home mom and started an in home day care biz.  Unfortunately, my husband’s career changed and he decided to start his own business too.  20 years later and a great deal of “worrying” about if it was going to snow, my anxiety was through the roof and all I did was obsess during the winters if it was going to snow!  We did great during our “high season” but snow was never a guarantee.  Then my hubby was on disability last year for five months.  Talk about anxiety!!  But I knew I needed to make changes.  Because constantly worrying about money is not a healthy state, especially when you are building another business of your own!  And remember, we attract what we think about. So as I was obsessing over things and worrying about money, clients were paying late, it wasn’t snowing, the whole shebang!

Mastering the Mindset of Wealth

Now don’t get me wrong, we aren’t millionaires, yet!  But we are doing very well.  I started reading and implementing the tactics of what I was reading in late December.  And honest to God, things started shifting within a week.  It was the weirdest thing!  And don’t get me wrong, there were times when I faltered, that is for sure!  But I was able to change my worries into gratitude. Instead of, “OMG another truck repair????”  I would take the situation and say, “it is a good thing we caught that now.  If we hadn’t it might have been a lot worse”.  Everything has a purpose or a reason.  My hubby’s disability last year, was a hardship.  However, I was taught how to let go.  He was taught how to trust that everything will get done, without his presence!  And so many other things too.  Of course, I might not have realized it at the time, but I look back now and realize it was the best thing to have happened to us both as we learned so much from it.

Affirmations and Mantras

One of the things I loved about You are a Badass at Making Money was Jen Sincero’s humor.  More than once during the book she stated, if I can do it, anyone can!  And she is right.  It takes practice, writing what you are grateful for and affirmations. DAILY!   She also gives not only her own story, but other peoples stories who were able to take a crappy life and turn it around.  She provided suggested money and life mantras. There were also tips on how to create the best affirmations for your situation!

Feel It

I would have never found this book had it not been for a very good friend, but I have to admit, it has changed our lives.  But you need to fell it and believe it.  You need to believe you are worth it! Because lip service isn’t going to get you to where you want to be!  Whether you believe in God, the Universe or whatever we can all have the life of our dreams.  But if we don’t believe it and change our mindset to match our dreams, then it will never happen!

Conclusion

I absolutely loved this book!  It truly opened my eyes to my own faults on how I thought of and dealt with money.  Many other things too! And I am not ashamed to share that.  Because currently 2019 is the best year ever!  Not only financially but also all our dreams and hard work are becoming reality.  I hope you love this book as much as I did!  It truly did change our lives!
