For far too long we have romanticized the notion that struggling and suffering are somehow noble, and having the finer things in life comes at the cost of your character-but this view of money will hold you prisoner at various levels of poverty, creating gaps in your relationships and causing you to struggle in almost every area of your life. This compelling, step-by-step guide will totally transform your relationship with money! No longer will you struggle to get by. No longer will you envy others who have what you want. No longer will you lie awake at night wondering how to make ends meet. We are in dire economic times, and dire times call for drastic measures. In this provocative and revolutionary tale Janine Elias reveals the level of debt you carry or the level of riches you hold have nothing to do with the economy, your job, or your education and that being rich is actually an inside job. Clarity of purpose and determination are all that stand between you and all the money you want. Kill Robin Hood and it's yours for the taking!
