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

January 24, 2021 Melanie Hawken

Rachel Rodgers

Book Review

Rachel Rodgers, founder of Hello Seven, and the author of We Should All Be Millionaires, is on a mission to coach women to scale their businesses and their lives to seven figures, and she says it’s time for real change to happen. While ninety percent of the world’s millionaires are men, only ten percent are women, making it difficult for women to wield the economic power that will create lasting equality.


Women deserve the economic power and equality that comes with wealth, and we all have it in us to be millionaires. So says author and entrepreneur, Rachel Rodgers, whose new book We Should All Be Millionaires details a realistic, achievable, step-by-step path to become a millionaire within the next three years. Whatever is currently stopping you from having seven figures in the bank—whether it is doubt, feeling overwhelmed, imposter syndrome, trying too many things, or simply not knowing where to begin—this book shows you how to clear every obstacle in your way.

We Should All Be Millionaires will forever change the way you think about money and your ability to earn it. Rachel Rodgers—mother of four, attorney, business owner, and self-made Black millionaire— shares the lessons she’s learned both in her own journey to wealth and in coaching hundreds of women through their own journeys to seven figures. Inside, you’ll learn:

  • Why earning more money is not “selfish” or “greedy” but in fact, a revolutionary act that brings the economy into balance and creates a better world for all.

  • Why most of the financial advice you’ve heard in the past (like “skip your daily latte to save money”) is absolute nonsense.

  • An eye-opening history lesson on how women and people of color have been shut out of the ability to build wealth for centuries—and how we can fix this.

  • How to stop making broke-ass decisions that leave you feeling emotionally and financially depleted, and start making million dollar decisions instead.

  • Why aiming to earn $100K per year is not enough, and why you need to be setting your goals much higher.

  • The crucial ingredients you need if you are serious about becoming a millionaire: including your million-dollar vision, million-dollar squad, and more.

  • Strategies to bring more money in the door and fatten your bank account immediately.

Author quotes

It’s time to construct an entirely new attitude about money, claim your power, and build the financial security that you need and deserve.

We live in a world that is extremely imbalanced when it comes to women and money.

In virtually every profession, women are lagging behind men financially. Working just as hard—or harder—but not earning nearly enough

We want to build a world where men and women have equal financial power, a world that is fair, equitable, and balanced. Achieving this goal is why we do…everything we do.

Her mission is to to share the belief - no, the reality - that we should all have economic well being.

Why LoA loves it….

There has always been lots of talk about creating a level playing field where women can achieve their full potential in business and start building their wealth for the future. But to do that requires a big vision and the tools to take a viable idea to market and structure a business that is growth focused from the get-go. Rachel Rodgers in her new book inspires and instills a belief that if you have a millionaire mindset and are surrounded by like-minded successful women who have a proven track record in building growth businesses, then everything is possible. — Melanie Hawken, founder & ceo of Lionesses of Africa
