Create smart habits

The main thing that I took from this audiobook was that by making several small, smart habits with money, you would be on the road to creating a more stable financial future. There was a chapter about meal planning and another one about creating an emergency fund for a rainy day. The guide took a light-hearted, yet practical, approach to the sometimes sensitive subject of money.

A Refreshingly Honest Guide to Starting a Business

This audiobook cuts through the fluff and gets straight to what matters—how to actually build a business from scratch. The 7-phase approach is structured but not overwhelming, making it easy to follow without feeling like you're drowning in theory. I especially appreciated the insights on overcoming fear and self-doubt—something most business books gloss over. The real-world case studies were a great touch, showing what works (and what doesn’t) in a way that felt relatable. If you’re looking for a no-nonsense roadmap to making the leap from employee to entrepreneur, this is a great listen.

Relatable and Realistic

I thoroughly enjoyed this entire book- and it’s about financial tips and advice. This took the heavy and stress out of budgeting and financial planning. This is so relatable especially the part on budgeting- I liked that budgeting isn’t to shame yourself when you spend money but to see where you need to increase in some areas and decrease in others. I have been reviewing my finances without guilt which has been nice. Now I have an updated budget that I think will work better for me. The gives great financial advice that feels empowering and not overwhelming. I loved this book and I am having my college kids read it next. Highly recommend!

Such a Good Read!

This book was fantastic! I absolutely loved the author's humorous take on things—it made the experience so engaging that I listened to the entire thing in one sitting. The advice is down-to-earth and realistic; you can’t give up everything, but you also can’t expect to have it all without effort. I now feel more confident about saving and have a clear understanding of the steps I need to take. I’m so glad I came across this book—you really have to listen to it to fully appreciate its impact!
