Key Insights

We would all like a little bit more money in our pockets.

We envy the people who seem to have it all, and that creates negative energy surrounding our financial situations.

But, according to Jen Sincero in her book, “You Are A Badass At Making Money”, she explains that by tweaking your mindset a bit, you will realize you have the potential for financial success.

“Believe that you are worthy of financial freedom. Do something you love and then all you ever have to do is be yourself to succeed. If you sell something you love, then you just sell love, not a specific product or service, and that will show.”- Jen Sincero

After reading Sincero’s tips you will feel confident in your money-making potential and finally stop holding yourself back.

Our Relationship With Money

People have different relationships with money. There are people who are obsessed with money. And, others who despise it. Some people crave more while others feel almost shameful for having so much. Money is a very complicated subject.

And, while many people may think desiring more money is greedy, it’s not! It helps improve one’s quality of life because our society is built on money and that is simply how we pay for goods and services.

“RICH: Able to afford all the things and experiences required to fully experience your most authentic life.”- Jen Sincero

A common myth in our society is that money makes people turn into cold-hearted monsters. But, that’s just not the case.

By making money, people are able to gain financial freedom, which allows them to use their energy and their time for the things that matter to them most, such as family and friends or a personal passion.

Money is how activists are able to shed light on certain issues by holding events and galas. The issues are their passion, so they need the financial support to be able to contribute to it.

A lot of people’s thoughts about money go back and forth. When they are doing financially well, they like money. And, when their car breaks down or they need a down payment for an apartment, their attitude will turn negative because it becomes a stressor in their life.

Another myth in our society is that if one person gets rich, others stay poor. And, this just is not the case either. This myth is derived from the idea that there are not enough resources to go around.

But, let’s debunk this myth: If you buy lunch, you are not taking away someone else’s lunch. In reality, you are spreading the wealth by giving someone the job of making your lunch and as a result, they can afford lunch for themselves.

Sincero is too familiar with low-paying jobs that took up all of her time which resulted in a negative stigma surrounding her finances. But, since then she has discovered how to have a lucrative and healthy relationship with her bank account.
