We Should All Be Millionaires: A Woman’s Guide to Earning More, Building Wealth, and Gaining Economic Power

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 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.

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 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 show more 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.

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 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.

Inspiring. Lots of things to think about with money mindset, especially if self-coaching concepts are new to you. The pathway to success here seems to rely on having skills that are highly valued in the market (lawyering, business coaching), and doesn't offer much to bridge the gap if your skills are typically low compensated. The $10k in 10 days challenge seemed especially unrealistic.

Definitely a book that all women need to read early in their lives so that that they can make better decisions about finances and how they navigate the world.

I appreciated hearing the story of a low-income gal from Queens and the ways she struggled, made mistakes, and learned from those lessons.

I learned about some of the suggestions about outsourcing as much as possible years ago from Ramit Sethi, but without the dollars to pay someone to do these little things, it's harder for one to outsource and free up time that way.

The author has a very inspiring story, and I enjoyed how she wants to get women to be where she is.
