by Candy Valentino

You don’t have to be educated or connected to be wealthy How do wealthy people do it? Are they geniuses? Lucky? We tend to think something special must be going on because it looks like magic. But nothing could be further from the truth. Wealthy people have simply adopted six key, yet ordinary, habits … and they do them extraordinarily well. Candy Valentino opened her first brick-and-mortar store at 19―no college, no connections, no money―and built it into a seven-figure business before most of her friends graduated college.

In Wealth Habits, Valentino reveals all six habits, and shows you how you can put them to work for you: Long-term investing strategies How to recession-proof your business Ways to keep money out of the IRS’ hands What to teach your children about money How to establish financial protection and security The secrets to keep more of the money you make (so you can invest more)“Think and get rich” will only get you so far. It’s time to do and become wealthy… and set yourself up for a lifetime of true financial freedom.

Maybe I judged the book by cover and had too high of expectations for this book. If your looking for an intro to personal finance this isn’t the book. This book would be great for someone looking to start a business. The main premise is if you want to be wealthy you need to start a business, and the rest of the book focuses around that. I would have expected more of a discussion around personal finance and not business finance.

Some good (and hopefully sound) advice for business owners. But I didn't like the casual style of writing and the lack of conciseness. Finally just skimmed the rest to move on. I appreciate the book for getting me thinking about money in a new way.

If you do not know where to start, this is the book for you. As a person who knows I have to learn the ins and outs of certain subjects in order to build financial wealth I have no clue what to search for. Candy Valentino put together a great overview of the entire picture. This is a book that I will keep coming back to as I am further in my journey. She talks about different types of investments, licenses, insurance, real estate and more! I can revisit certain chapters to further my knowledge on the subject. If you already know about investing, licenses, and insurance than this book won't be much help. It is definitely beginner friendly.

[Susie Pettit]

Excellent resource for financial literacy and wealth building. The author broke down terms and practices in ways that you could take action from. As a cognitive coach, I also really enjoyed the mindset work and exercises in the book. Thank you!

[Nicholas Kotar]

Ok, but trying to do too much.

[Ella]

Not bad (audiobook)

[Brandy]

I enjoyed this book. Though I consider myself pretty well-versed in financial strategy and business, there were many good reminders and tips to learn from.

I skimmed through this book at the bookstore. I came across Candy V. via a podcast. Bravo to her in all her success!

[Rachael Melot]

Absolutely one of the best self help books I've ever read and I now buy it for every graduation gift of every young woman.

[Savannah Benefield]

Loved this book! I learned so much and will be keeping it close to reference back to you. A fantastic book if you currently own or are thinking about starting a business!

[Sam Johnston]

Lots of helpful information in this one.

A habit of wealthy people? Hiring a copy editor. This is something the author did NOT do.

All the typos made it difficult to read. I couldn't resist redlining my copy as I went.

I did enjoy the book and her story, but the typos (eft or etf) were sloppy and made me second guess the author's credibility.

This book was written in a very clear way and it was a page turner. Part story teller part advisor. It is something I think everyone should read to see how our money can work better for us and there are also some
life lesson tips on there as well.
