This book is dedicated to my beloved sister,
Angela, whose consistent cheerleading, reminders
that I am smart and can figure it out, and
occasional loans when I couldnt make payroll
have gotten me to where I am today.

Angela, I couldnt have become a millionaire or
gained the knowledge to write this book without
you. Thank you for being the best big
sister in the world. I love you.

We must overcome the notion that we must be regular. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary and leads you to the mediocre.

America doesnt respect anything but money. What our people need is a few millionaires.

MADAM C. J. WALKER

I believe every woman should want to be a millionaire.

If you agree with me, this book is for you.

If you strongly disagree with me, this book is definitely for you.

Every woman needs to see at least seven zeros in her bank account, at the bottom of her own balance sheet, and in her cumulative net worth. Every woman needs to know what it feels like to wield economic power. Thats how we make change. Thats how we serve our children. Thats how we serve the world.

I want you to know what it feels like to be a millionaire. To own a home with no mortgage. To have the freedom to leave a job you dont love. To have more time to spend with your favorite people doing things you enjoy. To have more time to rest.

I want you to know what it feels like to be a millionaire. To have more than you need and be able to put that surplus money to work for your children, my children, and our childrens children. I want you to know what it feels like to solve community problems like providing for kids who cant afford school lunch or creating a community garden by simply writing a check. I wrote this book, because thats not the world were living in right now.

The data is daunting: Women are afraid to ask for the money they deserve and need (and are less likely to get), afraid to make more than their partners, and afraid that having a career means not meeting their familys needs. Screw the thigh gap, lets talk about some other gaps: white women make 79 cents compared to a dollar made by a white man, and Black women make 62 cents.

We are going to change all of this, and this book will show you the way. In this book, we are going to cover things youve never seen before, and I am going to teach you how to:

• Build serious wealth.
• Increase your income significantly within one year.
• Get on the path to becoming a millionaire within three years.
• Stop getting in your own way.
• Increase your power, peace, and joy.

And, most important, how to start making Million Dollar Decisions and the exact steps you need to take to get on the path to millionaire status, no matter your current situation or earnings.

Heres what you will not see in this book: me telling you to stop drinking your three dollar latte or to stop being a shopaholic (these are the ridiculous messages women are inundated with by so-called financial gurus on a daily basis). Heres what I will tell you: how to start making a lot more money. You will learn how to add income streams without hustling all the time and start generating an extra $1,000 or $5,000 per month. In this book, youll learn how to expand your income rather than contract your expenses.

And heres why: whether we like it or not, money is the source of real power in society.

Theres very little any of us can doto get paid for the true value of our work, to make our own decisions, to control our lives, and much less to move women, marginalized communities, and society forwardwithout the freedom that money can buy. Your options in life are likely to remain limited if your resources are also limited. And, yes, this is a sad state of affairs. I, too, would love to live in a world where that wasnt the case, but that world doesnt exist. And so, sisters, to claim more power in the world, we need more money.
