Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.

If you’re ready to make more money, you can. I don’t care how many times you’ve tried and failed or if you’re so broke you’re selling your bodily fluids for bus fare or how often you’ve found yourself center stage at the checkout counter, feigning shock and indignation: “Are you sure? Declined?! That’s impossible. Can you run it one more time?” No matter how out of the question it may seem for you at this moment, you can make lots of money. Even I’ma-buy-everyone-I-love-a-house-and-a-gold-tooth kind of money, if that’s what turns you on.

I’d also like to point out that there’s nothing horribly wrong with you if you haven’t figured out how to do it yet. Money is one of the most loaded topics out there—we love money, hate money, obsess over money, ignore money, resent money, hoard money, crave money, bad-mouth money; money is rife with so much desire and shame and weirdness it’s a wonder we can utter the word above a whisper, let alone go out and joyfully rake it in. (Have you been brave enough to read this book in public I wonder? With the title in full view?)

It reminds me a lot of how we’ve been conditioned to deal with sex, another gold medalist in the Topics That Totally Freak People Out Competition. When it comes to having sex and making money, you’re supposed to know what you’re doing and be all great at it, but nobody teaches you anything about it, and you’re never supposed to talk about it because it’s inappropriate, dirty, not so classy. Both money and sex can provide unthinkable pleasures, birth new life, and inspire violence and divorce. We’re ashamed if we don’t have it, we’re even more ashamed to admit we want it, we will do things/people we’re not nuts about in order to get it, and I know I’m not the only one who has caught myself fantasizing about a stranger dressed like Batman coming up and giving me some on a bench in Central Park (am I?).

The good news is if you, like most people, 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 the life you’ve always wanted to live. And you can start making this change right now. All you need to do is wake up to what’s holding you back, make new, powerful choices about what you focus on, ensmarten yourself about money, and go for it like you ain’t never gone for it before. Which is what this book will help you do.

I personally transformed my financial reality so quickly and massively that everybody who knows me well is still wondering what the hell happened. And believe me when I say if my broke ass can do it, you can do it too, no matter how rickety or hopeless you may feel right now. Because I knew precisely zero things about making money until I was in my forties. My forties! That’s the age when most people possess things like houses and college funds for their kids and an understanding of how the Dow Jones works. Meanwhile, at forty I possessed a barren bank account, a deep wrinkle line between my eyebrows from stress, and a first-name basis relationship with Sheila at the collection agency.

For the vast majority of my adult life I was a freelance writer, forever scrambling for work that paid an insulting nonamount considering how time consuming and challenging it was. Had I actually done the math, I would have realized just how free my lancing was, but I instead chose to be in denial of the facts, work harder, complain more, and just, you know, hope that I’d somehow magically start raking in the dough or get run over by someone rich who would then have to take care of me for the rest of my life. My watertight plan for getting out of financial struggle was partly a result of having a whole lotta hang-ups about money (money is evil, rich people are gross, I have no idea how to make it, I’d have no idea what to do with it even if I did know how to make it, etc.), and also because I was trapped in a perpetual state of indecision. I knew I was a writer, and I also knew I wanted to do more than sit alone in a room in my robe and type all day, I just didn’t know what it was I wanted to do. And rather than just picking something already and seeing where it led, I chose to bite my nails down to bloody nubs and wallow in the I Don’t Know What the Hell I Want to Do with My Life quagmire. For years. As in decades. It was so painful. And devastating. And utterly paralyzing. This is how I found myself at the ripe old age of forty, living in a converted garage, in an alley, in fear of requiring dental work, excelling at financial mediocrity in the following ways:

·         Eating/drinking/filling my pockets with anything that was free, regardless of whether or not I really liked it or needed it.
·         Walking countless blocks, in flip-flops, to save five dollars on valet parking.
·         Employing duct tape, instead of professionals, to repair things like leaking pipes, busted shoe straps, fractured bones.
·         Meeting friends at a restaurant for dinner, ordering a glass of water, tap is fine thanks, I love the tap in this city, before explaining to the table how I’m really not hungry, I’m stuffed actually, and then the free bread is placed on the table and disappears into my mouth in a blur.
·         Choosing between phone service and health insurance.
·         Spending excruciating amounts of time purchasing anything, from a TV to a bedspread to a wooden spoon, in order to thoroughly investigate every possibility of a cheaper option, a forthcoming sale, a coupon code, or to entertain the question, “Is this something I could perhaps make myself?”

If I’d put the same amount of time and focus that I put into freaking out about not having money, cutting back my expenses, finding the deals, haggling, researching, returning, refunding, redeeming, rerouting, rebating, into actually making money, I would have been driving a car with working windshield wipers years before I actually did.

This making money thing is not about never again making wise, informed purchases or rejoicing in a good sale or filling up on bread. It’s about giving yourself the options and the permission to be, do, and have whatever lights you up, instead of acting like a victim of your circumstances. It’s about not pretending everything is cool, I love having three roommates, none of whom know how to use a sponge or a goddamned broom, instead of focusing on making more money to afford yourself your own place for fear you’ll be judged or you’ll suck at it or that it’ll be too hard or no fun or out of your reach. It’s about creating the wealth that affords you the life you’d love to live instead of settling for what you think you can get.

The human ability to rationalize, defend, and accept our self-imposed drama is bananas. Especially because we have all the power within us to choose and create realities that totally kick ass. We see it all the time with people who are in miserable or even abusive relationships: “He’s just so sad and sorry after he cheats on me. It breaks my heart. Plus, the make-up sex is superhot.” We see it when people insist on staying in jobs they hate: “I spend my lunch breaks weeping in the stairwell I’m so miserable. But the health insurance is amazing.” Meanwhile their spirit and their time on this Earth are quickly swirling down the drain.

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 realized humanoid you can be?

She's A Hoot!

Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2024

“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.

The BEST under $7 you can spend to Rewire your Money Consciousness!

32 pages in and WOW!!! This is the Real Deal.

For many of us, we don't lack the opportunity or skill or luck to make an Abundantly FEEL GOOD, LIFE IS GREAT Type of Money or Lifestyle.

It is in Our BELIEFS and Subconscious Programming about Money (from a very young age and ongoing til now!) that keeps us STUCK and in the SAME Mediocre/Poor/Poverty loop that we can't seem to get out of, no matter the number of courses/classes/exercises we do on Wealth/Money Making.

I PROMISE YOU....It is ALL in your Mindset and Mental Programming.

Unless and Until you UNLOCK IT and GET RID OF THE Gibberish you have about Money, you'll never get to the Life that you would ABSOLUTELY LOVE (in all areas of life).

THIS BOOK will do that for you, so that "money" will never be an issue anymore, so that you can LIVE THE LIFE YOU LOVE!!!

This is such a Relatable, Easy Read..

THANK YOU JEN SINCERO, the Hero!!!

It's the simplicity and interactive excercises inside that does it for me. Manifestation when put into scientific terms can come across confusing. The Author, Jen Sincero, does a phenomenal job at simplifying the concept and providing ways to integrate money manifestation into your daily life.

Empowering, Though Repetitive Success Stories

Reviewed in the United States on April 19, 2024

Verified Purchase

Jen Sincero’s 'You Are a Badass at Making Money' has genuinely impacted my approach to personal finance and self-investment. The book is brimming with energy and encouragement, which gave me the courage to make significant investments in myself and my ambitions. The practical advice and affirmations provided are grounded yet inspiring, guiding readers to not only dream big but also to take concrete steps towards achieving those dreams.

However, while I appreciate the numerous 'they did it, so can you' success stories intended to motivate and demonstrate the universality of the book’s principles, I found myself eventually skipping over these anecdotes. While initially uplifting, they began to feel repetitive and somewhat distracting from the core messages of the book. Each story, while inspirational on its own, started to blur into the next, making them less impactful over time.

Despite this critique, the book remains a highly motivating read that pushes you to believe in your financial potential and to dismantle the mental barriers you might have about money. For anyone looking to change their financial mindset and cultivate a wealth-oriented approach to life, this book offers robust tools and affirmations that can indeed spark significant changes.

A Money Book for Creative, Motivated People

Reviewed in Canada on June 8, 2021

Verified Purchase

I purchased this book out of curiosity because it had hit the "New York Times" bestseller list. As an 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.

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 me 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.
