Product Information

So, here's the last thing. You think you have to do it alone. You do not. You do not have to do it alone. You need a team, you need a squad. This is my squad. They're cute, right? And they make it so that I can work normal hours, they bring their talents and their skill sets to my vision, to my business. Rodgers’ mission is to teach women—especially women of color—how to end the cycle of overworking, underearning, and financial stress, once and for all. Rachel is the host of The Hello Seven Podcast and founder of We Should All Be Millionaires: The Club, an online network for professional women. Her forthcoming book, We Should All Be Millionaires from HarperCollins Leadership will be released in Spring 2021. In this context, Rachel’s approach to money is like a breath of fresh air. While there’s a lot to be said for living well below your means, you also need to enjoy life. The two aren’t mutually exclusive. Delegate one task on your to-do list to someone (or something) else. Delegate to a family member, roommate, friend or an app like TaskRabbit. Clear something off your plate. Dog-walking, dinner-cooking, vacation-planning. Anything, big or small."

Hello, friends. This is Dellea, I'm the producer of The Million Dollar Badass Podcast, and I have a special episode for you this week. I'm sharing a talk Rachel gave at Craft and Commerce this year about women and money. Now, Rachel believes we should all be millionaires, because women making millions is key to solving the world's biggest problems. And most of us are under-earning, when we should be shooting for seven figures. The next time you think to yourself, for instance, “I’m no good with money,” be sure to follow that up by telling yourself, “I’m perfectly capable of becoming the smartest investor in the world!” So, I'm a diva, like Miss Beyoncé. And that means that divas hate when old white guys tell us what to do. We don't like that. And to be honest, I don't want anyone deciding my fate. Right? I don't want anyone making big decisions in my life but me. Only 10 percent of the world's millionaires are women, making it difficult for women to wield the economic power that will create lasting equality. Whatever is stopping you from having seven figures in the bank—whether it's shaky confidence, knowledge gaps when it comes to wealth building tactics, imposter syndrome, a janky mindset about money (it's okay, we've all been there!), or simply not knowing where to begin—this book shows you how to clear every obstacle in your way, show up, and glow up. I think Rodgers makes EXCELLENT points about why women having more money helps us all, and her conversational tone is relatable and her story is inspiring. If you are at a place in your financial journey where you need some cheerleading to believe you can do it, perhaps this is the read for you.

Who is We Should All Be Millionaires: The Club For?

Each chapter has hypotheticals or stories of real women and a section that compares “Broke Ass Decisions” and “Million Dollar Decisions,” mindsets, boundaries, etc.

In the same way I’d hate for other men to immediately refer to me as “bro” if I were a man, I also don’t appreciate women coaches trying to ingratiate themselves to me by using bullshit catchalls like “sis” and “boo” and “mama” when referring to me directly. Why most of the financial advice you’ve heard in the past (like “skip your daily latte to save money”) is absolute patriarchal nonsense. Insert old white guy, the branch manager. And I go stand in the spot, out of the way, right? Because I'm like waiting for him to come talk to me, and I'm all awkward in the bank. Like, people are coming and going, I'm trying to be unnoticed. And I'm just trying to get my story together and feeling really, I don't know, like, almost a little embarrassed and, you know, trying to think of what I'm going to say.

An eye-opening history lesson on how women and people of color have been shut out of the ability to build wealth for centuries - and how we can fix this. Move your body. Any way you want. Take a walk. Have a dance party. Attend a yoga class. Ride a bike. Whatever feels good to you. And if you're not able to physically move your body, do whatever else makes you happy. Talk to friends and family. Watch your favorite TV show. Read or listen to a good book. Sing at the top of your lungs to your favorite music. Anything that boosts your serotonin and gets those feel-good hormones flowing." We Should All Be Millionaires will forever change the way you think about money and your ability to earn it. And so he goes, and he talks to his colleague. And I see them poring over my accounts and bending over, looking at the screen. And I'm super embarrassed, and I'm thinking like, “Man, what kind of financial choices have I made over the last of couple weeks that they're looking at right now?”

It should be scalable. Your one-to-one service is not your million-dollar offer, okay? It needs to be scalable. And that means you could scale it by hiring a team, scale it by creating an intellectual property system, like a course to deliver it, but it needs to be a leveraged offer, okay? There’s also too much bootstrap mentality in this. And again, I could forgive this if she didn’t specifically try to cater to all demographics by explicitly saying this is for everyone, including the generationally working class. It clangs and it drowns the really wonderful messages (you can control your dignity, you can control how you speak to yourself). But I’m terrible with money. I can’t become wealthy. This is possible for other people, but not for me.” Clear instructions to figure out your Million Dollar Value and understand where your strengths (and weaknesses) lie, so you can make millions off of what you naturally do best.Why earning more money is not “selfish” or “greedy” but in fact, a revolutionary act that brings the economy into balance and creates a better world for all. It's tough to convince people of what I'm talking about, but hopefully someone will read this and buy something deeper on the subject of money and starting a line that leads to riches. You need to deliver on a big promise. Say it with me. No punk promises, okay? Again, together, no punk promises! You can deliver on something bigger. Don't hide. Don't be scared to really go out there and show people what you can do, show people the transformation that you can create for them. So, make a very big promise and then deliver on it. boys get talked to more about making money and investing while girls are talked to about saving money and being careful with it. Lots of sweeping generalizations like “boys get paid more money than girls for doing the same chores at home.”
