You Are a Badass at Making Money - Master the Mindset of Wealth

If you loved Jen's first You Are a Badass book you'll love this book too! I've already read it once and did the exercises and plan on reading it again and again! If you're looking for step by step how to make money guide or how to get out of debt fast this is NOT for you. There are plenty of other books out there for that. This book is definitely a different approach to looking at money but it connected with me. I highly recommend if your looking for a new outlook on how to look at your money situation!

This is the best book I've read all year. I've listened to numerous motivational speeches and read a ton of books, but none of them has revved up my belief in myself than this book has. Jen's perfectly timed anecdotes and analogies had me laughing out loud (literally) while at the same time visualizing how I'm squandering my gifts and my time. I am now thoroughly convinced I am a badass at making money and will do everything in my means to be rich.

This was one of two books I chose to take to the beach. The other was Thich Nhat Hanh's Creating Peace. Other than the poor choice of two books (I constantly tried to rationalize that making money would allow me to give to those in need), both are inspirational and helpful. My advice is to pick one ... otherwise it's just a bunch of cray running around in your head.

Love, love, lover Sincero's style of writing! Engaging, entertaining, and clear. I also love that she doesn't just talk about the need to change your mindset and getting caught up in theory, but gives practical examples, strategies and techniques to help you begin rewiring your thoughts. I recommend you do the exercises when you read about them. Stop reading, reflect, write it out, really take in and process what she says, and then continue reading. Take margin notes, highlight, use post-its for the "aha" nuggets you might want to post else where. If you plow through the book, which is tempting b/c it's so entertaining, it'll just be a good read. You won't change anything.

I simply love Sincero's style. She is blunt, humorous, practical and well knowledgeable. This book is very practical and self reflective, so if you are looking for a book that will just make you feel good...this book is NOT for you. But if you are looking to Do good and TAKE ACTION to get rich and heighten the quality of your life...this book is for you!!

Jen Sincero cuts through the gloop we stick the subject of money in and sets you gloop-free to gather plenty of cash. As she says, you use the tool of money for great good or ill, your choice. As the author of Blue Rope I appreciate her bright, fierce, fun use of language, as well as the fact that it's just fine if I make money from my writing, thank you very much. Let it inspire and guide you on your own passionate journey. Brava!

I absolutely love this book. I just bought a copy for my daughter.
Jen has a totally down to earth way of writing which is funny and informative.
Having just lost my husband this book is just what I needed. Good advice and a lot of humor.
I will be following Jen's advice and hope to become a Badass.

This book is amazing. Anyone who doesn't like it, is clearly not on the path to break through their blocks to have success int heir life. I not only have been transforming the heck out of my own finances, thanks to this book, I'm using it as a text book for my group. If you want to really create the life of your dreams, this funny, practical and inspirational book gives you all the tools you need.

I took notes while I read this book. Not just on the writing prompts at the end of each chapter, but also I quoted her from the chapters. I felt like my mindset changed as I read this. I have a new mindset of wealth & what I desire to have. Thank you Jen Sincero!

This book promises to deliver and it does. I tripled my income in the first 3 weeks and continue to see it growing every week. Take the time to do the exercises Jen gives you and trust me (and the Universe) that you WILL SEE RESULTS. If you follow the advice there is absolutely no way you can fail. This book has changed my life and I recommend it to anyone looking to change theirs. This chick knows what she's talking about, presents it in a way that's really, really easy to understand and do, and if it weren't for her kick in the pants I'd still be wondering how I was going to pay the bills this month. Buy the damn book already and start making some serious money!

This is a great book from no nonsense Jen Sincero. I do like the original You Are a Badass book a smidge better, but that's most likely because I am resisting the change required to really master the content in You are a BA at Making Money!!! Highly recommend for anyone who needs a good swift kick in the rear when it comes to your career and finances.

Basically this book pushes the same philosophy as "The Secret" or "The Laws of Attraction". How does the author make her fortune? Basically by being a self-help guru who bilks others out of their money. Maybe you want to run a small business and NOT become a self-help guru. Is there advice for you in this? Not really. It's mostly a blueprint for how to set up one's own life coach/money guru business. I know it might seem crazy but I think we can't all become life coaches. She also calls Ayn Rand "great" in this which honestly made me want to toss the book out of my 5th story building. There is some helpful advice about changing one's attitude about money but overall it's just more recycled magical thinking. The author is very fortunate that this has worked for her, but I doubt 99% of the population could suddenly become life coaches. I wonder how many of her clients have felt ripped off or were unsatisfied by her coaching?

I love her writing style. This book will help anyone wanting to get their mind and heart sorted on Money. It has lots of take aways and exercises at the end of each chapter that you need to take action on to reach your full potential.

Absolutely love Sincero's views on the universe and making money. I have been applying some of these techniques prior to even reading the book and they work, so I'm excited to have more in my arsenal. Thank you Jen!

If you are not experiencing the financial fitness you desire, then you’re in luck. Jen shows you EXACTLY how to make money—and lots of it! This genius book makes you WANT to eat the financial kale and Brussel sprouts necessary to make the money you desire. It helped me immediately— and I can provide results ;)

While I believe Jen Sincero’s strategy is right for everyone, some readers might not subscribe to the power of positive thinking. That said - I read this book in bits while commuting around NYC, and it always made me feel energized, and reinforces the motivational words we need to coach our inner workings. This is a great supplement to other money books

Great book for motivation and helping to change your mindset for making money! This book does not have money making ideas or tips but does help you think about money in a new way but it can be repetitive at times

As soon as I read Jen Sincero's first Badass book, I went online an pre-ordered this one. And I LOVE it. While I don't always make time to meditate, when I sit and read this book it feels like meditation combined with a pep-talk. The ONLY thing I've noticed that gets me sometimes is the suggestion that she had credit cards to lean on, such as putting a deposit down for a coaching session. At the moment I'm maxed out and don't have those option. BUT, reading this has helped me brainstorm additional ways to make some extra money AND has reminded me that "How is not my job", as they say in The Secret.

If you're a fan of the law of attraction, and struggling financially, READ THIS BOOK. Her no nonsense, best friend giving you a pep talk, style of writing is refreshing and real. More often than not when a suggestion is made, if my first thought is "Right, how will that work??", odds are her next sentence is "Now you're probably wondering how that will work..." She's good about addressing excuses and doubts you're probably having. Sincero is very authentic and you can tell she's been there, this isn't some high and mighty "expert" who has no clue what it's really like.

Haven’t started reading yet as I just received it but I’m very excited to start!! She’s a great author and I loved her other book she wrote “you are a badass how to stop doubting your greatness and start living an awesome life” Received the book within 2 days with the store prime and in perfect condition!!

I enjoyed the inspirational message but wish there were more technical pieces like in the accounting chapter. Overall, a solid read to recharge and move forward knowing that the universe is working for you.

All of the concepts are ones we've all heard and read before from countless others in the past. There is nothing new here. But it's good to receive the age old, sage advice again in Jen's unique voice! I highly recommend it if you find yourself in a period of struggle and need to be reminded that you have the power to change your circumstances (and you always had the power) and you need some encouragement, inspiration and motivation!

I've read Sincero's other Badass book a few years ago, and it has been a transformative force in my life. I read through the book one time on launch day, and within the next week or two I'll be going back to re-read and complete the questions, mantras, etc.

If you think you should be making more money than you are - and you are tired of your own BS, this will give you a clean pathway to success.

WOW, this book is amazing. I love Jen Sincero as an author, I can relate to her writing so much...I am an 80s/90s kid and her sense of humor and logic just resonates with me completely. She incorporates so many examples within her own life and relays them in a way that makes total sense, of how to face your fears and everything that makes you uncomfortable about making money. I ordered this book on Thursday, and it wasn't supposed to get here until Monday, but it just happened to show up yesterday. (Saturday). I've been sick with a cold and have been able to just read all weekend, and I feel so enlightened. Jen talks about how you should always have the tenacity and feeling as if the best thing ever is right around the corner, how you should be able to just feel it in your bones.. I feel that this book came at the right time for me, I'm planning on reading it again and doing the exercises daily. I know deep down this is the catalyst I need to help change my life. I would love to have Jen as a personal coach, the book does however, make you feel like she's coaching you personally. LOVE IT!

Common sense talk about how to get out of your own way and be who you want to be, with the added bonus of being laugh out loud funny. Thank you, Jen Sincero, for sharing this information. I am officially ensmartened!

The original "You are a Badass" is my favorite book, and I read a lot. I read it, then listened on Audible, a number of times. Hearing Jen read it was especially inspiring. I got the chance to meet Jen briefly and hear her speak on her book tour, and it's obvious that she's authentic and consistent with her writings, and highly motivating. I picked up the new book, read it, then picked it the Audible version. Like the first book, this one offers practical, easy to understand, and inspiring advice on how to be your best self, including your relationship with money. I HIGHLY recommend this book.

You know who's a badass? Jen Sincero. This woman. Lordy. Her first book "You Are A Badass" quietly and completely rocked my world. She took the strongest elements from decades of self-help/life-transformation books and reinterpreted them into a funny, inspiring, "get off the damn couch and change your life already" book. She does the same with this one. I like how she talks about how we talk about money. I like how she talks about making money and what that means psychologically and spiritually and psychically. So, yeah, it's worth the few bucks. Get off the damn couch and get it already.

Simple message: get started, make a plan, be prepared to face challenges, believe in yourself, you deserve success, and have the tenacity of a goat, told via sometimes interesting personal stories. Basic plan, things you have most likely heard before or somehow you just universally know.

Here two of the nuggets of wisdom you will get from the book,
* "There is no such thing as too much awesome."
* "One of the biggest obstacles to making lots of money is not a lack of good ideas or opportunities or time, or that we're too slovenly or stupid, it's that we refuse to give ourselves permission to become rich."
* A test of faith is like playing chicken with the Universe

Well, the first one is obvious. And as for the second one, I will just go ahead and give myself permission. Oh that fixed it.
I'm rich now.
The third one makes no sense to me.

Now, if you'd like to read over 300 pages of that repeated over and over and you need someone to tell you that you are the greatest ever and that money is lovely and that the Universe loves you (whatever that means for an inanimate object to love you) then by all means drop the $12 plus on this and read it.
__No Ideas On How__
However, if you're looking for any ideas about how to actually make money, then don't waste your time or money.
Have you ever heard of the word, platitude ("a remark or statement, especially one with a moral content, that has been used too often to be interesting or thoughtful." )? That is what the book entirely filled with.
I couldn't believe it when I got to the end and all I had read was that money is good, the universe loves me, and money is on its way.
So, this just wasn't for me.

I wanted to like this book. Hell, I wanted to LOVE it. I like the title and the author’s writing style. I love the book’s implicit promise, that I have untold money-making skills deep inside me, just waiting to break free and bump me into a higher tax bracket. But no, I didn’t like it – I’ve read it before, and so have you, probably.

Ever read a book that claimed the Universe wants you to be happy, successful, and rich beyond your wildest dreams? Ever read a book that assured you that the Universe is filled with unlimited abundance, and was waiting only for you to claim your fair share? Ever read a book that promised the only limits to your wealth were those of your imagination? Then yes, you’ve read this book under another, older, title.

As I read about the Universe and its giddy eagerness to shower wealth upon me, it occurred to me that the Universe, though undoubtedly generous, is a fickle creature; its abundance is accessible only to some. Would the Universe still have my back if I lived in Somalia, Haiti, or North Korea? Would wealth be mine – provided I step way outside my comfort zone, of course – if I were reading this book in Afghanistan? For that matter, how would I know how to access this endless abundance if I’d never learned to read? It has its favorites, this Universe.

The book reminds me of the ministry programs you sometimes see on late Sunday nights. Plant a seed, say the very reverend pastors, and God will bless you with a harvest of success. It’s gotta be a big seed, though – at least a few hundred dollars’ worth – or God’ll know you don’t have the guts to be rich! Write your check out to the good pastors and they’ll drive their Mercedes while you wait for that harvest. Sincero tells the story of spending $85,000 (yes, that’s three zeros) for several months of one-on-one coaching by some prosperity guru. That’s one hell of a seed! In all fairness, it seemed to work for her (she reports making seven figures nowadays), but how many others were fooled into thinking “the bigger the seed, the bigger the harvest” and have nothing to show for their efforts but crushing debt?

I truly hope that some readers will be encouraged to go set ambitious goals for themselves, go past their comfort zones, take risks, and shout out to the Universe that they’re ready to be rich. Maybe a few of them will actually realize their dreams. The rest of us, though, can start a little nest egg with the money we save by not buying this book.

I had heard an interview Jen had done. She talked about how she used a mentor to find success. I was way more interested in her story and how she actually did it, then all the silly anecdotes and stories she tells. None of which I found very inspiring. Her actual story seem so much more interesting and yet she really doesn't explain much about what she really dead to become successful.

I read and enjoyed Sincero’s previous book, You Are A Badass, largely due to her refreshingly irreverent tone. So I was disappointed by this follow-up, in what seems like a money grab to cash in on her success and name recognition. You Are A Badass At Making Money is a lighter-than-air, irresponsible money guide that teaches magical thinking and not much else.
When I say magical thinking, I mean the sort of affirmation-heavy pseudo psychology that was New Age pioneer Louise Hay’s stock-in-trade. The savvy thing about Hay’s type of advice is that it carefully loads the blame onto the reader (or debtor in our case) so in the event of failure, the spiritual life coach can just say, “You weren’t visualizing hard enough” or “ You didn’t want it enough” or “you didn’t write down your dreams every day” or some other BS. It removes all accountability from the “coach”. Louise Hay was controversial for telling people that they were at fault for their own illnesses; soured thoughts created their cancer and so on. This book takes that and tweaks it for the money desperate. It ends up making you feel bad without really having a plan for changing anything.
Beyond being just unhelpful, some of Sincero’s advice here is downright dangerous: upping your game by spending money on yourself; like buying a sweet car, or investing thousands in some seminar. Many of these coaches and programs feed off of the desperate and offer the same type of touchy-feely pop psychology.
Ultimately, I did find three pieces of practical (two of them questionable) advice in these 288 pages. All together, they could fit on a single index card:
First, hire a coach. For $85,000 dollars. This is what Jen did, and though she argues its reward somewhat unconvincingly, this advice is strangely suggestive because I starting researching coaches halfway through the book. Then I realized hiring an expensive coach is probably not what I should be doing. I’m guessing many people would just say “hmm, I need a coach but don’t know any coaches—wait. How about Jen Sincero?” Luckily, her online one-size-fits-all modules are available for $$$ dollars.
The second concrete piece of advice in this book is to invest in actively managed funds. This is not very smart advice, especially for someone just beginning to invest. Low cost index funds are a much better choice, and I’ve got Warren Buffett backing me up on this.
Remarkably, her final piece of concrete advice is actually legit: meditate. This is something everyone from Tibetan monks to the Seattle Seahawks have practiced and scientific research has shown changes in the brain that improve resilience and lower reactivity: basically, ways to be calm and think clearly. Unfortunately, Jen keeps this to about two sentences and breezily moves on to the next chapter.
You may close this book and wonder how you just read 288 pages and learned next to nothing of value. No concrete advice, just a lot of magical thinking. Leave money around the house so you see it and it feels like abundance? Help. Even Jen’s fast and hilarious writing style starts to stall out mid-book. The jokes don’t hide the fact that there’s nothing here to learn, nothing really to gain from this book.
I’m no money guru, but I offer this. Rather than daydream and drop dollar bills around your apartment, instead, do these things: Live below your means. Pay off your debt. Start an emergency fund. Start a retirement account. Invest in low cost index funds.
At this point (if you bothered reading this far) you may wonder who the jerk is writing this review. I actually have some real-life experience in this department. After years of a successful career, spending mindlessly, burning my savings, I hit a wall financially and had to cash in my retirement to pay my debts. After realizing I had no real model while growing up of how to save, invest, or for that matter, run a business, I started researching blogs and books on all things money. I read 11 books on personal finance over the next year, and within 2 years paid off my debt, started an emergency fund, and for the first time in my life, invested in the market with some knowledge of what I was doing. For those of you looking, here are some resources that are actually helpful:

The 9 Steps to Financial Freedom - Suze Orman
This is the book that got me started, made me go back and think about my relationship to money, how my parents dealt with it (or didn't) and really begin the process of realizing what I had been doing wrong and what needed to happen. Good general book though it doesn't really address being a freelancer.

The Money Book for Freelancers, Part-Timers and the Self-Employed - Joseph D'Agnese and Denise Kierman
Then came this book, which is a godsend for freelancers. Figuring out how to set up your business, pay debts, set aside percentages for taxes, ER fund, retirement.
Clear, conversational and funny, but also really detailed and smart. If you read only one of these I'd say start here.

I Will Teach You To Be Rich - Ramit Sethi
This guy is brilliant and hilarious. Not aimed at freelancers but it’s a breezy and still detailed take on a similar topics in the other books. His irreverent style is great and fearless, especially when he gets into investing talk and you realize the experts know little more than the rest of us.

If You Can - William Bernstein
Investment advice for the young (or not young who are playing catch up). You will read it in one day. It can be downloaded for free.

The Millionaire Next Door - Thomas Stanley and William Danko
Landmark study of American millionaires that came out in the 90's, this book still kicks ass and surprises. It rocked people's idea of who was creating real wealth, and is still very relevant today. This book was a big wakeup call to me, as it shows that many millionaires live under their means, have true wealth but don't show it by buying new cars and big houses. Great book.

BLOGS

The Simple Dollar
This is probably the one I read the most on a regular basis. Very honest and down-to-earth, the articles cover a wide range of topics, and I keep checking it weekly to remind myself of the things I read in the above books. Great and helpful blog.

Good luck!

Waste of money and time. The author does nothing but repeat herself about thinking positively and how money isn't bad..Seemed to me that the author read The Secret and copied the positive thought theory but added Money isn't a bad thing.. which ah never have met a person who thought money was a bad thing.

Lot of similar advice from the other badass book. You probably only need to read one or the other. The first book has a chapter on money which is a condensed version of this book. If you're short on time I'd go re-read that chapter and call it good. The first book made me laugh and tear through it. It felt fresh. Unfortunately, much like movie sequels, this book relied too much on the original (down to the vocabulary and the advice) and failed to endear itself to me. Nevertheless, it served as a good reminder to keep a positive attitude toward life and be bold to change your world.

First off- I did not buy this book from the store or any of its partners. Thank god. I waited for months for the digital copy from the library so at least I sill have that money in my pocket!!! Second- I don’t normally write negative reviews but in this case I just can’t help myself. Mostly because I’m at a loss to understand why it is such a well received book. But in all seriousness the writing style began as witty and funny but quickly became blah blah boring- same thing over and over. Once the author launched into the “universal being” and if you get very specific about what you want and the dollar figure you need- somehow the “universe” will hear your cry and provide. As long as you believe. Sheesh. She should be selling snake oil under a tent somewhere. If you want good money advice then read Meet the Fruglewoods. Or JL Collins. Or Mr Money Mustache. Or Dr Seuss!! I made it through half the book before throwing in the towel. And I never don’t finish a book- no matter how bad. Until today. Good for her that she is rolling in money but my time is better spent in actually working than in wasting time finishing this book. Ridiculous that it’s even considered a must read financial self help book

lots of "you can do it!" and no specifics. really just a long drawn-out set of "feel good" chapters but no tangible takeaways. don't waste your money - keep it - and you'll be more of a BADASS than you'd ever imagine.

There are much better finance books out there than this. Aside from the meaningless anecdotes, the corny jokes, and the low effort writing style (all of which I was willing to put up with to learn a few tid-bits if possible), the book talks down to its readers. The chapter on how you have to submit yourself to a higher power and if you don't you're just being "grumpy" made me put the book down and walk away. First - what in the hell does what I believe in matter to making money? I'll tell you: nothing. And, even if it is your personal big key to success, you think it's just me being "grumpy?" Well let me tell you lady, I thought about this issue for years to come to a personal conclusion on what I believe in. Even if I wanted to, I couldn't just flip a switch and say cool, i'll start believing in a higher power.

So in conclusion, thanks for nothing. I just hope my review prevents other people from wasting money on this naive, simplistic, impractical book and maybe, just maybe, the author can get off her high horse, pull her head out of her ass, and write an actual practical and helpful book on making money and personal finance.

DUDE I WISH I HAD READ THIS BOOK TWENTY YEARS AGO! except it wasn't out then. Along with The Abundance Book by John Randolph Price, this is hands down the best money mentality book I've read in a LONG time. SO INSPIRING. YESSSSSSS. Get this book if you're ready to change your life. And even if you're not, if you want to want to be ready, get this book.

This book is full of law of attraction ridiculous banter. Changing our relationship to money: ok, yes. But there are zero actionable steps and no good advice in these pages. She even says we should try buying something expensive to see what it feels like. No no no. I’m exhausted by the “I got my dream life by becoming a life coach” story. Common sense, budgeting, research, learning about finances: these are good ways to improve your situation. Instead, she suggests we put ourselves into debt then figure out how to pay it off later! Go ask some rich friend to lend it to you! Create urgency and get hungry like a pack of wolves for that money! Ugh. No.

As with the first book, I have to admit: I was not really that impressed with this one. Here’s what I will say about it: The author is really friendly and enjoyable. The advice she gives is mostly good, I admit, though there was a bit too much pushing about “hiring a coach” (which she is now too) for my taste. However, the part that really didn’t jive with me is that she really emphasized that we all were born with unique talents that the universe wants us to nurture and pursue. Well, here’s the thing: I’m an atheist in that I don’t believe in ANY sort of divine or universal power and I certainly don’t believe that there is a “universal intelligence” that cares about what I do or don’t do with my life. This feels a bit too powerless to me and completely against the whole… empower yourself to make more money thing. Basically, it’s just way too hokey for me. I did, however, learn a few tips and tricks to changing my mindset about money and why I think the way I think. I also got excited and set some real financial goals for myself, which felt good. If you enjoyed her first book, this is a good follow up. But for me… it’s just not what I enjoy reading, I guess.

The last sentence in this book should read, "Haha, just kidding. If you you really want to make money rewrite The Secret and sell it. Like me!" If you think you can make money by believing you deserve it, I think we would have a lot more millionaires. I think this book is really for rich people to read to feel better about themselves. "Yes! I do deserve this money! I wanted it, believed it and then received it!" You can save your money, not buy this book, and just go pray for money. It will have the same results.

I'm SO glade I checked out this book from the library and didn't spend any of my hard-earned money on it. it. Reading it was a waste of time! I kept reading the book hoping it would get better, but it didn't. I wouldn't recommend this book unless you think money is evil and you want to try to change your opinion about money. I don't think money is bad or evil so this book wasn't helpful for me.

It seems to me a narrative descriptive book of all the personal process by which the author walked to transform her minset of limitations, and the actions that worked her to transcend her financial situation towards a better, more expanded prosperity.
It contains small boxes that highlight key ideas, success stories and small exercises to change our perspective on the relationship we have with money. Although many of the concepts are widely known and treated in other books, it is a recurring theme, I consider it a fluid review of the subject and the different angles to consider, as well as at times the author is funny.
What I found most valuable about this book is that experiencing a process of transformation requires courage, perseverance, facing your fears and your own limitations, and the fact is that few manage to advance through these internal obstacles. It is popularly known that to get different results involves going beyond your known reality to a new reality where you learn to do things in a way still unknown, but it is possible to learn if you decide to allow it. Few people compromise enough not to turn around before the ego's first resistance, their own conditioning, to go to an area where you do not have total control, where you have to risk being open and present, adapt to every moment and flow into the new perspective, and to some extent be vulnerable because you do not know the rules of the game. I admire people who dare to walk through this process.
The author describes it very well: “For me, the combo of forking over such a gigantic chunk of change and the realization of just how big and visible I could/would get if I applied myself at this level launched me into an alternate reality. The possibility of the money and the success felt really really really real for the first time, and it freaked the Little Prince right out of me.
This is the feeling you’re going for when you make a huge leap in your life: equal parts excitement and terror.”
My gratitude to the Publisher and NetGalley for allowing me to review the book

Jen Sincero, like me, loves to write. She became an entrepreneur in her 40s, has the same attitude about hard work as I do and has gotten past her mental blocks so I can relate very heavily to Sincero. She believes that she can train her mind to attract the ability to earn money and keep it. Practice the law of abundance if you will. The book is a delightful listen on Audible where she narrates the book. Her stories are funny, allowed me to think about my attitude, and what I may be attracting and her advice is spot on.

I loved her motivational stories about herself, her family and others like Jim Carrey. She has many success stories about clients that have taken her advice as a coach. I could not believe that she spent $85,000 on coaching after borrowing the money to pay for that coaching from a friend.

Her discussion of the universe (or a higher power) is a similar belief that I have. You attract what you put out into the universe. If you are negative, then negative things happen. If you are positive and believe then eventually, success comes your way. Success is in you, and the universe wants you to succeed. I had several aha moments throughout the book and listened over and over to individual chapters. It is time to get rid of the doubts, fears, and excuses that relate to money and know that my bank account is open and ready to receive earnings from my hard work.

I read her book. My internal beliefs and mindset surrounding money is changing for the better. I grew up poor and sometimes that minimalist attitude is still there. I put my abundance affirmations on post it notes. I put dollar bills everywhere in the car, my bedroom, my laptop bag, and the kitchen. I honestly am trying to change my mindset which according to Sincero is an inside job. The very next day after I did this I had a check show up in the mail for an overpayment. I hope that is the start of many more checks and ACH transfers showing up.
You Are a Badass at Making Money: Master the Mindset of Wealth

Rehashed. Anyone who has been around self help since the 80s has heard and read every bit of this before. Even the stories are worn out, like the monkeys being trapped with hands in the jar because they won't let go of the grape inside. It's Wayne Dyer, Deepak Chopra, Shakti Gawain, Abraham Hicks, "The Secret", 'What the Bleep Do We Know", and most definitely like Martha Beck ("Steering By Starlight". I was appalled at at just how much had been lifted from all of these, absolutely nothing fresh or original, not in terms of ideas, insights, stories, or exercises. And the language; I kept wincing. Pass.

I'm so glad that Jen read this herself instead of hiring some outside talent. I'm not finished with the book, but I'm already learning that I have a lot of money issues that have to do with prior programming, and of course, since this is my first read by the author, I want to pick up her first best-seller. I also plan to get the physical book after I finish the audio version because the assignments at the end of the chapters are difficult to find otherwise (as in, I have not figured out how to use bookmarks in audible).

No useful information. This is one of those self help books where you are just supposed to tell yourself what you want to happen and then it will just magically happen, as if you could continue telling yourself you can fly and that would make it so. Staying positive is one thing, but it would take nothing short of magic to go from making 40000 to over 6 figures in less than a years time simply because of a change in mindset. Examples of this given in the book are very hard (if not impossible) to believe.

Jen Sincero is such a true-to-character writer. I truly appreciate that. After her first book, I'll be honest - I was a little over the language and the edge with which she writes. But THIS BOOK. It has changed my life. I own the physical copy. I own the audiobook. I listen and read and take notes on repeat because it inspires me to think outside the book and realize that money is just the energy we put into something. Conscious, calculated, but truly ENERGY. It is a currency of exchange. And when you can get rid of all the stories you have about money, and when you are free to just have and make and use money, it is a whole new way of living.

GET THIS BOOK.

This book was recommended by someone I respect. I was disappointed. It was about half new-age, half motivational, and a bit of concrete advice. I should have guessed from the title that the author thinks she's all that and would have the vocabulary to share with her audience. I finished (listening to) the book only because I did not have anything else to listen to in the car.

Money is often a word which worries and challenges us. Jen Sincero takes a different path with YOU ARE A BADASS AT MAKING MONEY. This book works on your attitude and inner thoughts to position you for wealth. To some people, the contents of this book lands in the fantastic woo woo New Age area. There are a few four-letter words which shock some readers as they listen. Yet Sincero has been broke and made the journey from not making money to making money—and this book is filled with practical information for every reader. I appreciated the emphasis on positivity, affirmations and gratitude. It provides solid information for every reader. As I listened to this book from cover to cover, I found lots of great insight and value. I recommend it.

Ughhhh I had such hopes for this book cuz everyone loved it so much. Note to self:
If I ever wanna hire a coach and this book is something she raves about- do not hire that coach.

2. I am glad i borrowed this for free from the library

3. This is a good book for beginners. Not if you’ve already studied tons of mindset work, law of attraction, etc

She has some good points in the beginning of the book but the rest is kinda unbearable to listen to. Super duper long stories about her mom and the word twat. Like why cant she just get to the point? Cuz the book will be 30 pages long thats why.

I read and enjoyed Sincero’s previous book, You Are A Badass, largely due to her refreshingly irreverent tone. So I was disappointed by this follow-up, in what seems like a money grab to cash in on her success and name recognition. You Are A Badass At Making Money is a lighter-than-air, irresponsible money guide that teaches magical thinking and not much else.
When I say magical thinking, I mean the sort of affirmation-heavy pseudo psychology that was New Age pioneer Louise Hay’s stock-in-trade. The savvy thing about Hay’s type of advice is that it carefully loads the blame onto the reader (or debtor in our case) so in the event of failure, the spiritual life coach can just say, “You weren’t visualizing hard enough” or “ You didn’t want it enough” or “you didn’t write down your dreams every day” or some other BS. It removes all accountability from the “coach”. Louise Hay was controversial for telling people that they were at fault for their own illnesses; soured thoughts created their cancer and so on. This book takes that and tweaks it for the money desperate. It ends up making you feel bad without really having a plan for changing anything.
Beyond being just unhelpful, some of Sincero’s advice here is downright dangerous: upping your game by spending money on yourself; like buying a sweet car, or investing thousands in some seminar. Many of these coaches and programs feed off of the desperate and offer the same type of touchy-feely pop psychology.
Ultimately, I did find three pieces of practical (two of them questionable) advice in these 288 pages. All together, they could fit on a single index card:
First, hire a coach. For $85,000 dollars. This is what Jen did, and though she argues its reward somewhat unconvincingly, this advice is strangely suggestive because I starting researching coaches halfway through the book. Then I realized hiring an expensive coach is probably not what I should be doing. I’m guessing many people would just say “hmm, I need a coach but don’t know any coaches—wait. How about Jen Sincero?” Luckily, her online one-size-fits-all modules are available for $$$ dollars.
The second concrete piece of advice in this book is to invest in actively managed funds. This is not very smart advice, especially for someone just beginning to invest. Low cost index funds are a much better choice, and I’ve got Warren Buffett backing me up on this.
Remarkably, her final piece of concrete advice is actually legit: meditate. This is something everyone from Tibetan monks to the Seattle Seahawks have practiced and scientific research has shown changes in the brain that improve resilience and lower reactivity: basically, ways to be calm and think clearly. Unfortunately, Jen keeps this to about two sentences and breezily moves on to the next chapter.
You may close this book and wonder how you just read 288 pages and learned next to nothing of value. No concrete advice, just a lot of magical thinking. Leave money around the house so you see it and it feels like abundance? Help. Even Jen’s fast and hilarious writing style starts to stall out mid-book. The jokes don’t hide the fact that there’s nothing here to learn, nothing really to gain from this book.
I’m no money guru, but I offer this. Rather than daydream and drop dollar bills around your apartment, instead, do these things: Live below your means. Pay off your debt. Start an emergency fund. Start a retirement account. Invest in low cost index funds.
At this point (if you bothered reading this far) you may wonder who the jerk is writing this review. I actually have some real-life experience in this department. After years of a successful career, spending mindlessly, burning my savings, I hit a wall financially and had to cash in my retirement to pay my debts. After realizing I had no real model while growing up of how to save, invest, or for that matter, run a business, I started researching blogs and books on all things money. I read 11 books on personal finance over the next year, and within 2 years paid off my debt, started an emergency fund, and for the first time in my life, invested in the market with some knowledge of what I was doing. For those of you looking, here are some resources that are actually helpful:

The 9 Steps to Financial Freedom - Suze Orman
This is the book that got me started, made me go back and think about my relationship to money, how my parents dealt with it (or didn't) and really begin the process of realizing what I had been doing wrong and what needed to happen. Good general book though it doesn't really address being a freelancer.

The Money Book for Freelancers, Part-Timers and the Self-Employed - Joseph D'Agnese and Denise Kierman
Then came this book, which is a godsend for freelancers. Figuring out how to set up your business, pay debts, set aside percentages for taxes, ER fund, retirement.
Clear, conversational and funny, but also really detailed and smart. If you read only one of these I'd say start here.

I Will Teach You To Be Rich - Ramit Sethi
This guy is brilliant and hilarious. Not aimed at freelancers but it’s a breezy and still detailed take on a similar topics in the other books. His irreverent style is great and fearless, especially when he gets into investing talk and you realize the experts know little more than the rest of us.

If You Can - William Bernstein
Investment advice for the young (or not young who are playing catch up). You will read it in one day. It can be downloaded for free.

The Millionaire Next Door - Thomas Stanley and William Danko
Landmark study of American millionaires that came out in the 90's, this book still kicks ass and surprises. It rocked people's idea of who was creating real wealth, and is still very relevant today. This book was a big wakeup call to me, as it shows that many millionaires live under their means, have true wealth but don't show it by buying new cars and big houses. Great book.

BLOGS

The Simple Dollar
This is probably the one I read the most on a regular basis. Very honest and down-to-earth, the articles cover a wide range of topics, and I keep checking it weekly to remind myself of the things I read in the above books. Great and helpful blog.

Good luck!

Waste of money and time. The author does nothing but repeat herself about thinking positively and how money isn't bad..Seemed to me that the author read The Secret and copied the positive thought theory but added Money isn't a bad thing.. which ah never have met a person who thought money was a bad thing.

Lot of similar advice from the other badass book. You probably only need to read one or the other. The first book has a chapter on money which is a condensed version of this book. If you're short on time I'd go re-read that chapter and call it good. The first book made me laugh and tear through it. It felt fresh. Unfortunately, much like movie sequels, this book relied too much on the original (down to the vocabulary and the advice) and failed to endear itself to me. Nevertheless, it served as a good reminder to keep a positive attitude toward life and be bold to change your world.

First off- I did not buy this book from the store or any of its partners. Thank god. I waited for months for the digital copy from the library so at least I sill have that money in my pocket!!! Second- I don’t normally write negative reviews but in this case I just can’t help myself. Mostly because I’m at a loss to understand why it is such a well received book. But in all seriousness the writing style began as witty and funny but quickly became blah blah boring- same thing over and over. Once the author launched into the “universal being” and if you get very specific about what you want and the dollar figure you need- somehow the “universe” will hear your cry and provide. As long as you believe. Sheesh. She should be selling snake oil under a tent somewhere. If you want good money advice then read Meet the Fruglewoods. Or JL Collins. Or Mr Money Mustache. Or Dr Seuss!! I made it through half the book before throwing in the towel. And I never don’t finish a book- no matter how bad. Until today. Good for her that she is rolling in money but my time is better spent in actually working than in wasting time finishing this book. Ridiculous that it’s even considered a must read financial self help book

lots of "you can do it!" and no specifics. really just a long drawn-out set of "feel good" chapters but no tangible takeaways. don't waste your money - keep it - and you'll be more of a BADASS than you'd ever imagine.

There are much better finance books out there than this. Aside from the meaningless anecdotes, the corny jokes, and the low effort writing style (all of which I was willing to put up with to learn a few tid-bits if possible), the book talks down to its readers. The chapter on how you have to submit yourself to a higher power and if you don't you're just being "grumpy" made me put the book down and walk away. First - what in the hell does what I believe in matter to making money? I'll tell you: nothing. And, even if it is your personal big key to success, you think it's just me being "grumpy?" Well let me tell you lady, I thought about this issue for years to come to a personal conclusion on what I believe in. Even if I wanted to, I couldn't just flip a switch and say cool, i'll start believing in a higher power.

So in conclusion, thanks for nothing. I just hope my review prevents other people from wasting money on this naive, simplistic, impractical book and maybe, just maybe, the author can get off her high horse, pull her head out of her ass, and write an actual practical and helpful book on making money and personal finance.

This book is full of law of attraction ridiculous banter. Changing our relationship to money: ok, yes. But there are zero actionable steps and no good advice in these pages. She even says we should try buying something expensive to see what it feels like. No no no. I’m exhausted by the “I got my dream life by becoming a life coach” story. Common sense, budgeting, research, learning about finances: these are good ways to improve your situation. Instead, she suggests we put ourselves into debt then figure out how to pay it off later! Go ask some rich friend to lend it to you! Create urgency and get hungry like a pack of wolves for that money! Ugh. No.

As with the first book, I have to admit: I was not really that impressed with this one. Here’s what I will say about it: The author is really friendly and enjoyable. The advice she gives is mostly good, I admit, though there was a bit too much pushing about “hiring a coach” (which she is now too) for my taste. However, the part that really didn’t jive with me is that she really emphasized that we all were born with unique talents that the universe wants us to nurture and pursue. Well, here’s the thing: I’m an atheist in that I don’t believe in ANY sort of divine or universal power and I certainly don’t believe that there is a “universal intelligence” that cares about what I do or don’t do with my life. This feels a bit too powerless to me and completely against the whole… empower yourself to make more money thing. Basically, it’s just way too hokey for me. I did, however, learn a few tips and tricks to changing my mindset about money and why I think the way I think. I also got excited and set some real financial goals for myself, which felt good. If you enjoyed her first book, this is a good follow up. But for me… it’s just not what I enjoy reading, I guess.

The last sentence in this book should read, "Haha, just kidding. If you you really want to make money rewrite The Secret and sell it. Like me!" If you think you can make money by believing you deserve it, I think we would have a lot more millionaires. I think this book is really for rich people to read to feel better about themselves. "Yes! I do deserve this money! I wanted it, believed it and then received it!" You can save your money, not buy this book, and just go pray for money. It will have the same results.

Jen doesn't pull any punches. Unless you're bold and willing to take big risks, the universe ain't gonna reward you with big bucks. She's brutally honest. For example, if wifey or hubby isn't down with you taking out a big loan for that business you think is your ticket, or that expensive life coach, or whatever, you gotta convince him/her to go along or... Well, you'll just have to think about divorce. Ouch. And those friends of yours who live frugally and proudly? Drop 'em. Their vibes are bad for getting rich. If you're too timid or too old (guilty here), this book won't help. The ideal beneficiary would be an energetic, bold single person under, say, 50. But you've got to sincerely buy into the Wayne Dyer-esque notion that the universe provides for those who risk big for the big bucks.

Don't expect any actual money-making ideas or schemes here. There are none. What this book does is analyze your attitudes toward money and, if they're messed up, help you fix them. Then, with some good tips from Jen—a funny, clever writer— it's up to you to claw your way out of your comfort zone and take some huge leaps of faith and trust that the universe will provide. Although I know her approach is not for me, I appreciate that Jen communicates that there really is no free lunch.

I'm SO glade I checked out this book from the library and didn't spend any of my hard-earned money on it. it. Reading it was a waste of time! I kept reading the book hoping it would get better, but it didn't. I wouldn't recommend this book unless you think money is evil and you want to try to change your opinion about money.

GET THIS BOOK.

Like everyone, I have a side business that I'm building. I have read so many self help and business books I could quote theorems at you... but no one has struck me like Jen Sincero.
Do what she says. Every word. I thought I wasn't going to be able to make both my car and student loan payments this month, but not only will I, but I'll actually be able to put some into savings! "Money loves you, why not love it back?"

If you're looking for an entire book on platitudes, this is it.
If you've read the back cover of "the secret" then you've read this book. I'm all for the rah rah speeches and believing in yourself and all, but at some point practical and actionable steps are nice. You can probably skim through it at a bookstore (still might be a waste of time) and get the same affect.

Listening to the audio version and enjoying it immensely. Jen is as great a narrator as she is a writer. A lot of fun and motivating as well. Will be sending an email to my publisher friend asking for money along with the title of assistant editor of his magazine that he offered me yesterday. Thanks ! I wouldn't have thought to do it before as I was enjoying writing the articles and makes no profit himself. I suggested that he get your book.

Note: some concepts are similarly used in the yellow book You Are a Badass.
Also note: this book FOCUSES on the energy around money, making money, and why you haven't been making money.

I recommend her audiobooks over plain text.

Wow! I love this author's style (writing and personality). This $ book is fun, highly motivational, and life changing. After reading it (well, listening to it), I made the goal to make $1,000 extra within a month and am already half way there 5 days after setting the goal. May the abundance continue and grow. I got the audible version and want to listen to it several times to absorb all of the information. Thanks, Jen!

I love this audio book! I've listened to it several times and each time get so many new valuable insights. I would highly recommend this book if your relationship with money is poor and you live paycheck to paycheck. Heck, I would even recommend this book if you are making boat loads of money. I think that everyone can really benefit from such a gem.

I pre-ordered on Audible and waited anxiously for this day to arrive (dramatic much? but I'm so serious.) I am only one chapter in and I have already had so many "aha" and "omfg" moments! I have read many personal development books (including her first) and improved my life significantly after implementing what I learned, so I'm pumped to see how my net worth is going to increase after practicing what I learn in Jen Sincero's latest book. Jen Sincero, thanks for creating this for us.

This book is 100% about positive-thinking and 0% about practical money advice. Do you want to know how to become rich? Save money, get out of debt, stick to a written budget, plan and save for future expenses like retirement, kids' college, etc. Visualizing the universe sending you money won't do it. Skip this book unless you just want to hear someone say vaguely positive things like "think positive" and "step outside your comfort zone". Waste of time.

Some mildly inspiring stuff. The rest is just very non-specific, generic "inspirational" advice that I didn't find helpful. There are only so many ways you can say, "change your beliefs about money and believe in yourself" before it becomes repetitive and obnoxious.

I loved Jen's previous book, You Are A Bad Ass. If possible I loved this one even more. As a dreamer constantly thinking about getting my side hustle off the ground, I found this book to be exactly what I needed to stop thinking about it and switch to action. Ms. Sincero's hilarious writing style was a perfect fit for me. I found myself laughing out loud at some of her personal anecdotes. I know I will be rereading this book again and again. Please keep writing more books :)

I love Jen's way of writing-straight forward and to the point. And this book did not disappoint. True to Jen's style and knowledge of what a life of success requires, she was spot on. I have spent the last month recommending this book to everyone, but I do point out that her language could offend some. But she tells it like it is and I am not offended by that.

It was OK, but her writing style is rubbish. In parts it's like reading a text message ("WTF", for example). Also, I am listening to the Audiobook and I swear if she says ECK-CETERA (it should be ET-CETERA) again, I am going to delete this.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS BOOK!! I just finished reading it for the first time and I'm already making a second pass through it. I love Jen's writing style and the book kept me engaged and excited about reading what was next whenever I had to put it down. I love that she gives practical tips and I laughed quite a few times while reading it due to her humorous tone which is greatly appreciated while reading about something that is serious. I've already recommended the book several times and I'm sure it will be one I continue to refer to in the future. Finally I loved all of the exercises she put throughout the book as well! I HIGHLY recommend this gem of a book!

I absolutely loved this book. I'm new to the money mindset scene and Jen was the perfect writer to reset my view towards creating abundance. Her sense of humor, her stories, her overall message were exactly what I needed to hear! I'm excited to read it again with my journal in hand to really get down with the Q&A and get some money up in here.

Her first book was REALLY great, but this was an awesome follow-up if you want to make more money. Or, if you have a dream but have put it off because of the story you tell yourself that it is impossible because of (fill in the blank.)

Listening to this book has motivated me to make large, scary changes in my life so that my new private therapy practice can be successful. I owe so much of my newfound confidence and determination in becoming a successful business owner to Jen, because she speaks from the heart and from experience.

I like this book, she get's to the point of it and gives key examples of how she's gone through some of these same lessons. I like the mantras! a great way to retrain your thinking and acknowledge limiting principles in your life

Already applying this mindset to my life and manifesting real money - THANK YOU!!!!! THANK YOU JEN SINCERO!!! You are the reason I have an amazing relationship, a badass life and a badass bank account. This book has been just as good as the first one, I can't thank you enough for everything you've shared with the world. You really are incredible!

Excellent, clear audio and advice. Easy to listen to while working around the house. I love it, and it has given me such good advice, I am implementing it's advice immediately. I will share this with friends. Thank you. First I read her book " You are a Badass,", and it prepared me for the audio sequel. Thanks.

There are some books that simply rehash. Jen has a way of assimilating knowledge and presenting it in a clear and badass way! Some of her phrases are so new and fresh takes of things that immediately resonate as truth, it's easy to treat her words as scripture.

You are a badass at making money: master the mindset by Sincero. This book was recommended by another coach who left me with nothing after months of positive affirmations. Unfortunately the same has happened. I wrote down all the affirmations around money though I must admit I have decided to revise a school textbook which I wrote around 2011. Of course, retrieving the publisher file took a few days - on another computer - and my usual computer was on a go-slow. If you have a better mindset than myself, then check it out. Being bipolar doesn't help.

it seems more of book for a rich kid who has there money from other places not really helpful those who came from being poor never found money as gross or never wanted it sounds like rich people stuff not bad read but not a buy

I pre-purchased the Audible version of this book just last night. I received it immediately in my Audible list this morning and began listening to it. I am already halfway through it; listening to it while I work at home today. Jen Sincero, I didn't know how well you could top You are a Badass. You are a Badass at Making Money is SO good. It is SO good! I will be purchasing the hard copy as well to follow along more closely, and scribble and highlight the crap out of it. Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge with us, Jen. You are an inspiration, and your words continue to add to my momentum as I only look to my future.

I had the pleasure of meeting Jen Sincero many years ago when she was a badass freelance writer; her talent was as undeniable back then as it is now and it's thrilling to see how she has launched her career in a big way and is helping others to do the same. She is a magnificent storyteller and I especially enjoy listening to this book on Audible because she has the delivery of a stand-up comic. Her authenticity makes this book inspirational and motivational and it is filled with practical content that can be put to use immediately. I wish her the best and know that this book is helping many people. I've already recommended it to several friends.

I read this in one sitting, not because it was awesome but because I kept looking for some content. Lot of wasted words and personal stories which were more on the childish side then a professional level. I have been reading business books for 40 years and have to say this one was not worth the 30 minutes...don't waste your money. The author kept complaining how she never made any money and it is clear why after reading (skimming) thru this.

I hated it . . . I paid for it, so considered listening to her for some more time.

Realized . . unless you wanna know how a woman thinks . . . and you are interested in such things. I felt this is not for me.

I appreciate her success though.

Although the book gets most of the things right, I couldn't stand the ultra-casual language it's written in, it's almost like listening to a drunk person. I think the book is aimed at mass markets but having read multiple similar books like The Science of getting rich, I felt that the slang words and blabbering commentary made me feel like I'm reading something unintelligent. I should've known better by the book's title but hey, you don't judge a book by its cover, right?

Great Read. Purchased according to other reviews and now agree with all the praise this author receives, can totally relate. She is a great writer and this book has definitely got me motivated in the right direction to become a successful entrepeneur. I would advise that every female( and male too) add this read to their library. Book came exactly as described and in a timely manner. Will purchase this again to give to my family and friends.

This book is amazing! I am truly grateful for such a good read! Just started reading today and can’t wait to tell all about it! Eager for more- the book is very authentic and enlightening! Many thanks to the author- Jen Sincero for making a positive difference in the lives of others!

Blows apart the frequent limiting beliefs around money with hilarity and inspiring storytelling. And one is left with an empowering, self loving, heart centered paradigm about money and how it truly can be a force of good, peace, love. I highly recommend this book. To everyone.
