How to Build Your Million-Dollar Life with Rachel Rodgers
Ambition 2.0
Community and Accountability Drive Momentum
Rachel stresses joining communities, sharing goals, and using accountability to form habits and accelerate progress.
When it comes to money, most of us were taught to work hard, focus on saving, and not take any financial risks. In this episode of Ambition 2.0, Rachel Rodgers (self-made millionaire, founder of Hello Seven, and author of We Should All Be Millionaires and Future Millionaire) is here to replace that belief with something way more powerful.
Rachel and Amanda get into why wealth is built on risk, not by simply “working harder”, how women are socialized to budget instead of build wealth, and the exact mindset and practical moves that helped Rachel go from living in a low-income household as a child to running an eight-figure business.
You’ll hear them talk about:
-
Why “making money is easy” is the belief Rachel wishes she’d adopted at 25
-
The biggest limiting belief holding ambitious women back
-
Why wealth comes after betting on yourself—not just by investing in stocks and real estate
-
How to know when it’s time to hire help (EA, VA, house manager, childcare, etc.)
