Rachel Rodgers

What I took away from this book is the author's conviction, from lived experience, that the current economic model in the US doesn't serve women or people of color. Period. And because this is my lived experience as well, it really resonated. But she doesn't take a rageful or poor-me stance, she just recognizes this fact and then does her own thing. And her own thing is to be an entrepreneur, and to give back to her community of women and POC by writing this book and providing business show more coaching for others.

Her message of 'if the system doesn't work for you, create your own system' is such an empowered message. Because the truth is, the system DOESN'T work for everyone. And that is the flaw of the system, not of the people. show less

I picked up We Should All Be Millionaires by Rachel Rodgers on a whim, thinking it might just be another business/self-help book, but it ended up being far more personal and practical than I expected. Rodgers writes with a boldness that feels both empowering and refreshingly honest, almost like having a candid conversation with a friend who’s also brutally successful. Her core message, that every woman has the right and ability to build wealth and claim economic power, is delivered with a show more mix of passion, humor, and actionable advice.

What I really loved was how she broke down not just the “how” of earning more and investing, but also the mindset shifts necessary to truly embrace financial ambition without guilt. The exercises and reflection prompts scattered throughout the book made it feel interactive, almost like Rodgers was guiding me step by step, rather than just lecturing from afar.

That said, there were moments where I felt the book leaned a bit heavily on motivational pep talks rather than deep financial mechanics. If you’re looking for detailed spreadsheets, investment strategies, or highly technical guidance, you might need supplemental resources. But for mindset, strategy, and confidence-building, Rodgers is spot-on.

Overall, reading this felt like a wake-up call and a pep rally rolled into one. I finished it feeling energized, challenged, and yes a little fired up to rethink my approach to money and my own potential for wealth. It’s a must-read for any woman who’s tired of playing small and ready to claim the financial power she deserves.I picked up We Should All Be Millionaires by Rachel Rodgers on a whim, thinking it might just be another business/self-help book, but it ended up being far more personal and practical than I expected.

Future Millionaire is the kind of book I wish students were encouraged to read in high school, or at least during their first year of college. Rachel Rodgers explains basic economic ideas in a way that’s easy to understand and really helpful for young people who want to set themselves up for success.

The first part of Future Millionaire really deep dives into how we can change our mindsets. One thing that really stuck out to me in the introduction is when she says, “You are not broke, you show more are pre-millionaire.” I really like that mindset shift from being negative to being positive, and most of the first part of the book really goes into depth on how we can do this. Some of the topics covered are thought work, setting boundaries, self-care, and how to build the best environment around you to achieve your dreams.

The second part of the book focuses more on the financial steps to becoming a millionaire, building on the earlier mindset shifts. Rodgers covers important topics like resumes, interviewing, negotiating salaries, budgeting, and investing. I think this book is especially useful for people ages 15 to 25, but anyone can learn something from it. At the end, she even shares 100 side hustle ideas to help you get started. show less

It was nice to read a personal finance/business book not written by a white man. I liked the sass, irreverent feminism, and the intersectionality of the text. Rodgers writes in an original voice, and I would like to find more books like this.
Some drawbacks of the book: not everything is actionable, as some topics are left very vague; the "tips" are only applicable if you're already highly educated and/or middle-class; some bits read like the blogposts written by online marketeers selling to show more other online marketeers; the emphasis on spending lots of money on buying consumer goods and hiring support staff.
Still, it was a fun and occassionally inspiring read. show less
