Broke at 40, Rich at 50

📖 From Jen Sincero’s book, You Are a Badass at Making Money…

I knew precisely zero things about making money until I was in my forties. My forties! That’s the age when most people possess things like houses and college funds for their kids and an understanding of how the Dow Jones works. Meanwhile, at forty I possessed a barren bank account, a deep wrinkle line between my eyebrows from stress, and a first-name basis relationship with Sheila at the collection agency.

Jen would have been about 50 years old when she wrote that book.

Her words a few pages later…

I’m now not only making seven figures as a success coach and author, but I’m writing a book on how to make money. Me, Jen Sincero, ex-shoplifter and scrounger for coins in couch cushions (other people’s couch cushions)

Most people think you are who you’re going to be by age 40, but Jen’s story proves that you can make significant positive changes later in life 🥳

According to Jen, here’s how it’s done…

You just have to be willing to do what it takes. And here’s what it takes: Agreeing to get really really really really uncomfortable. Over and over again. 

We’ve been raised to believe that you have to work hard to make money, and certainly there are times when this is true, but the real secret is you have to take huge, uncomfy risks. You have to do stuff you’ve never done before, to make yourself visible, to acknowledge your own awesomeness, to risk looking stupid.
