You are a Badass at Making Money
By Jen Sincero
“You have one glorious and brief shot at being the you that is you on Planet Earth, and the power to create whatever reality you desire. Why not be the biggest, happiest. most generous, and fully realised humanoid you can be?”
ABOUT THE BOOK
Megabucks author, life coach and self-help guru Jen Sincero wasn’t always a megabucks guru.
In fact, until the age of 40, she was scraping a living as a freelance writer, sleeping in a garage and spending her time arriving at dinners with friends ‘too late to eat’ because she couldn’t actually afford to eat anything that didn’t come in a tin.
Sincero was broke. And a bit sad. And now she isn’t. She is living her best life travelling and teaching and – crucially – raking in the dough doing a job that she LOVES. And this book is a manual as to how she got there, by 'mastering the mindset of wealth.'
Sincero calls herself a “motivational cattle prod” and believes that it is her job to help us get out of our own way, to ditch the limiting beliefs we have about ourselves, our worth and our ability to make money and to master that positive mindset and to start to shape a new (more lucrative) reality.
Whatever your current relationship to money, this book will help you:
💫
1. identify old stories and limiting beliefs you have around cash
💫
2. start to value yourself and your time more
💫
3. give yourself permission to dream BIG and think rich
💫
4. see money and getting rich as a force for good
💫
5. see that there is plenty of money to go round (and that you deserve a slice as much as anybody)
💫
6. attract a higher vibe lifestyle
💫
7. start shaping an exciting new life and future for yourself
“A healthy desire for wealth is not greed, it’s a desire for life.”
THE BIG TAKEAWAY
Wanting to be rich doesn’t make you a bad or ‘unspiritual’ person. Everything in nature is provided with what it needs to flourish, including us, and money enables us all to have happier, healthier lives, live up to our full potential, be better, do more and give more back.
Sincero says: "If you allow yourself to make all the money you need to flourish and live out your desires, it does not mean you are, or will become, a greedy, selfish, Earth-ruining bastard. You, just like all living things, are meant to take up space on this planet. Shrinking back and denying yourself the things that bring you great joy, living under a cloud of guilt, refusing to make an impact ain't why you're here."
