Okay, friends, let's discuss the hot mess that is this book.

First of all, we do not have to hate rich people (or anyone) to make money. We do not have to mad at men, white people or people who initially have more of an advantage than you.

You can learn from those people without hating on them. (Hating on anyone isn't required to get rich.)

If I had read this book before making significant money, I would have thought that making money was certain a lot harder than it is. I would not have been inspired by this book. I would have given up.

First of all: Let's be clear, this is not a mindset book. Idk if this author is trying to pretend that she does mindset to capitalize on the success of other personal development books rooted in financial empowerment that came before her, but in all honestly, she is not... there. She just doesn't have an understanding of what money mindset even is.

Second, this is definitely more of a how-to book than a mindset book. The problem is, it's very very shockingly basic. Most money mindset books do just as good of a job of explaining retirement accounts, credit cards, etc -- yet they give us a foundation for the inner-work (so that we can sustain wealth) at the same time.

Now, I did go into this book a little biased. The original Rich as F*ck, by Amanda Frances along with her programs, absolutely changed my life and helped me to quadruple the earnings in my business and become a seven figure yearly earner. What I expected, was for Vivian to give the how-to that Amanda doesn't go as deeply into. The surprising part is that the practical basics Amanda covers in her full-blown mindset/manifestation book are more well-done and thorough than Vivian's book that is supposedly about that very thing.

Which would be okay, I guess, except Vivian is touting herself as the "real" financial expert.

I just don't buy it.

The energy of this book is *not* abundance or endless possibility. The energy of this book is bitterness, resentment, and full of lots of bad vibes that are definitely not... love.

I can't do such a hateful book when love and service based books (such as the original Rich as F*ck) are out there.

I'm not sure why this woman didn't just create her own title. By naming it something that already existed, it's like she's trying to pull Amanda's audience in and I just don't think any of us are going to stand for such gross energy and such a basic understanding of money with no -- literally none -- mindset, energy or spirituality to back it all up.

And the bathtub image on the back over -- ugh -- what a rip-off. Truly... so rude. Think for yourself, Vivian. Please.

This book was, quite simply, a big waste of my time.
