Excerpts-
From the book
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...
Reviews-
February 27, 2017 Sincero, a success coach and motivational speaker, follows up the bestselling You Are a Badass with this peppy, if slightly flaky, envision-yourself-rich guide. Sincero, a freelance writer who was perpetually broke well into her 40s, describes working hard to change her attitude and get past her mental blocks about money and her own ability to attract it, earn it, and keep it. She guides readers through a similar process of cultivating a mindset conducive to garnering wealth. Her self-help approach asks readers to believe in the kindness of the universe (or a higher power), cultivate self-honesty, visualize success, meditate, and repeat affirmations. Backed up with success stories from those who’ve taken her advice, Sincero counsels readers that the secret to success is inside them—and the universe is on their side. Her friendly, cheeky tone should appeal to existing fans and younger get-rich-quick seekers, though the visualization message feels a bit too dated to garner a whole new audience.

In this follow-up to You Are a Badass, life coach and speaker Sincero takes on money and wealth. Contrary to popular belief, money is not good or bad. Rich people are not evil. It's OK to love money. It's even possible to attract it, and there's more than enough to go around. In summation: you can make money...if you could only just get over yourself. Sincero shares numerous, quotable anecdotes in her signature witty, yet self-deprecating, style as we follow her from living in a one-car garage to her current success. Each chapter includes exercises and mantras for obtaining wealth while having fun in the process. This is not a practical, numbers-crunching guide for readers seeking advice on selecting mutual funds or how to pay off debt. Instead, Sincero explores intangible forces that influence our financial habits and beliefs, including circumstances, faith, and gratitude. By changing your internal dialog and surroundings, asserts the author, you can tap into the universe's energy to overcome crippling excuses that prevent you from becoming wealthy. VERDICT "Badasses" will be inspired by this feisty, unconventional guide to crafting a prosperous life (and bank account).--Jennifer Clifton, Indiana State Lib., Indianapolis
