We Should All Be Millionaires by Rachel Rodgers
I’ve somehow read a lot this month, yet not read enough. I picked up We Should All Be Millionaires by Rachel Rodgers and loved it.
We Should All Be Millionaires is part success story for Rodgers herself and part motivation/mindset coaching for the reader. WSABM is geared toward women and explains why women, especially Black and Brown women, are consistently underpaid and overworked. I could quote all the statistics about unpaid labor at home and uneven divisions of labor within the household, but you know it. Women typically do way more free work, and we get paid less in corporate America for the same work as men.
Once you learn the history and stats, Rodgers dives into how our invisible scripts affect our lives and how we think about money. Do you make Millionaire Decisions, or do you make “Broke Ass Decisions?” Can you buy back your time by hiring a housekeeper or nanny? How does a little splurge, like regular haircare, make you feel, and does it help you make more money?
While there were not a lot of tactics in this book for getting out there and building a business (try Ramit Sethi for that), I enjoyed the positivity, mindset, and encouragement this book offers women. Check out and see what you come up with for ways to build a side hustle or a full-blown business!
