You need this book!! An amazing read, this will make you see money in a different way. The writing style is engaging and really helps you get to the root of any money fears you have. I read the Kindle version but will be buying a physical copy to keep around.

Excellent, easy to digest, read! I really enjoyed this book. There are so many ideas that Carolynn puts so well into words, and it really was a joy to read.On top of all of the mental aspects of money (and our relationship with it) that she covers, she also gives a bunch of tangible steps that you can take right now, to improve our relationship with money.And, i loved the questions at the end of each section! They are a great way to actually focus in on what's going in on our minds, and how that affects our reality.

Must Read! Like many I am jaded by the amount of self help how to books that are on the market. It seems there is a "quick fix" for everything, if you just read/follow the book. This book is not that book! From page one I felt a difference in the flow and story telling. I found this is a book I can relate to, the book felt it completely non judgmental. I know I have many more chapters in my own money journey and I am happy to have these easy to read practical ideas on how to get started!

Let me tell you something Stop what you are doing so that you can download and read this book. I spoke to me on so many levels. I didn’t have to start with a budget I’d never use. Don’t get me wrong- the self reflection was difficult but I am so grateful Carolynn put it in the book. I saw myself so much in all of the archetypes. Our relationship with money is fluid. What made me happiest is that there wasn’t any page on budgets.

You don't have to believe in the law attraction for this book to work. This book is actually fun to read and really gives a lot of useful advice when it comes to money. She includes shifts in thinking that make an immediate difference in your money mindset (example certain things I'd always been grateful for but didn't consider as "abundance" were immediately expanded in my mind) as well as journaling prompts and contemplative questions to yield longer term growth and change.I enjoy a great number of "woo" practices but some "woo" concepts really make me want to gag. What was great about this book was that even when I disagreed with certain premises, the concepts still worked. For example:- The author believes in the law of attraction. I personally do not, because I think it is a slippery slope to blaming people who live in poverty or conflict etc that they haven't been able to positively think their way out of it; despite this difference, I do agree that many of the ideas in law of attraction will yield a better mindset, which will lead to more abundance (if you are already living in a stable place in the world). The author mentions law of attraction as "true," but this book is NOT about practicing the law of attraction, and even if you feel as I do, the concepts presented by the author are extremely useful and applicable.- She explains in a simple way how money is "infinite" (a phrase that first made me roll my eyes as) that I'd never heard used before: Simply that the same dollar can be spent many times and bring benefit to many people. Based on this premise, she suggests was to cultivate your micro-community, which further builds a sense of abundance, again providing very practical advice on ways to cultivate an improved money mindset as well as a sense of community, which will likely lead to more opportunity for business and financial success.- She presents a set of money "chakras" that she explains everyone has within them, and that each one has pros and cons, but when they are out of balance, they can cause very negative habits with both actual spending practices AND mindset. It was very easy to identify which "Chakras" I tended to become out of balanced in, and the chakras are simply a visual image to understand the concept (not a literal or physical thing inside of us).The author also tells a lot of her personal story as she explains her approaches and ideas. I was actually super excited to read the book every night because I wanted to know what would happen next!! That was a fun surprise that I didn't expect in a non-fiction/self-help book!This book is clearly targeted at women business owners, due to the examples and the language (references to having a business, etc), however I would say that anyone who enjoys Jen Sincero's "You are a badass" or "You area badass at making money" or similar books that share personal stories as they relay great advice for making your life better will enjoy this book. (Carolynn Bottino does include some examples/references to more career-path choices, they are just less often than business type references - the ideas she present are useful to BOTH groups.)Overall, I recommend this book if you are interested in a simple way to identify your money mindset habits and want simple, approachable, and even fun ways to begin to shift those habits into a new approach that will help you identify abundance in your life with ease. I've read it through once, but I'm planning to go back through again and answer all the questions in the back of each chapter... I hope the author comes out with a guided journal someday!!!

Magical mix of practical & inspirational I love this beautiful and easy-to-read book. In it, bookkeeper Carolynn Bottino reveals what she's learned from being up in so many entrepreneurs' "business." In her years doing books and coaching women around their money, she's seen how EVERY possible Money Story we tell ourselves plays out in our bank account and in our lives. And she's determined to turn this often-heavy, taboo topic into one fueled with joy and clarity.She shares her own story and the wisdom she gained from working closely with wealthy women at a young age, along with how to navigate old beliefs like shame, greed, guilt and having to work so hard to make money. And she writes about what it takes to instill new beliefs about abundance, joy, and receiving money for what we offer.Because she's also very practical and has managed the books for hundreds of entrepreneurs, Carolynn also provides the nuts and bolts--the things she wishes every one who started their own business would do (super-handy)--and how to set yourself up with the container to create and receive financial success and abundance.Carolynn believes we all deserve a place at the table and after reading this powerful book, I believe it, too.
