Marked it as finished at 28%, because it's just not "rilly" working for me.(less)

I found this book completely inspiring. The only thing I wasn't sure about was the author's attitude towards money - particularly her decision to buy a car she couldn't afford based on her belief that she would soon be successful.

I think, using the car example, her buying the car she wanted opened her up to other things that allowed her to afford the car.

For example, maybe after she bought the car she felt good enough (or aligned with) the idea of raising her prices of her business hence, she can now afford the car. (less)

I think that it's less about "inspiration" and more about, "are you ready to take action and control over your life?"(less)
