“We’ve begun to raise hell and use our voices, but we need to start playing a different game. A game we can win.”
Rachel Rodgers, author of the best selling book We Should All Be Millionaires, is chiefly concerned with action. Yes, she provides a great pep talk here and there but she follows each chapter with actions that will move you that much closer to actually achieving your financial goals. I’ve found myself rereading this book every year since 2021. It’s that essential in a motivating and practical way.
Highlight #1
Be her/him now
In order to upgrade your self-image, who you believe yourself to be and what you think you’re capable of achieving, you need to start following through on actions that a person “like that” would take. Identity shifts precede the acquisition of great wealth.
million dollar decisions framework
Million dollar decisions (or MDDs as Rodgers calls them) create time, energy, space, and options. Using the acronym W.S.A.B.M. (We Should All Be Millionaires), she asks targeted questions such as “what shoulds are coming up” and “what will you have more of if you [make this decision]” to guide you to making the most productive, fulfilling, and enriching choices that ultimately effect your bottom line.

applied takeaway
rich thoughts lead to fat pockets
From the title alone, together Rodgers and the reader stick a flag in the sand and insist that we should all be millionaires. Although the book works hard to dismantle limiting beliefs around making millions, it also pushes you to go from theory to reality.
