Abundance Code: How To Bust The 7 Money Myths For A Rich Life Now, The Paperback – 23 Sep 2015

I read an advance review copy of this book, and this is what I wrote about the book:

“Have you ever wondered why money and success seem to come so easily to some people - when they have no more talent than you, no more skill, and they certainly don't work any harder than you do? Have you ever thought that you just didn't have the the knack for making money? Or you just don't have "money luck"? Here's the truth: your level of success is a direct result of your mental programming about money and success - and you had that programming subconsciously installed years ago by parents, siblings, and friends. And if you're like most people, that money programming is holding you back. The Abundance Code will peel back the layers of that faulty mental programming, and it will install the new success source code that will unconsciously and automatically put more abundance in your life.”

Now after getting the final version, I want to expand on my review...

I grew up in a very middle-class suburban home in the United States. I had supportive parents and a strong family structure, but I also absorbed many "money lessons" from my environment that were not helpful. I grew up believing that some people had some almost-magical ability to make money - and I definitely didn't have that ability. I thought it was something that you're born with, and I didn't get it.

Later on, after finding myself in dire financial straits with seemingly no other path forward... I started a fledgling business. As that business started to have some very minor success, I gradually realized that I had all kinds of mental programming around money that was holding me back. That's when I started a 20-year journey to re-program my mind around money, success, and abundance. I'm still on that journey... but I've achieved some rather significant success (a multi-million dollar business, a NY Times #1 bestseller, thousands of successful clients, etc.).

I give that background so you understand this - what Julie Cairns has done here is give you a shortcut to that 20 years of study I've done around money, wealth, success, and abundance. This is what I've seen over and over: you will never have real success unless you get your mental programming about money and success straightened out. Once you fix that mental programming (and we ALL need help in this area), it's amazing how fast the abundance flows. This book is your quick start on re-programming your brain to attract true abundance.

If you’re skeptical about whether or not your beliefs about money make any real difference in your bank balance (and believe me, I was too) - then this book just might rock your world. What starts out as a “rich girl to rags" story leads into a practical and heartfelt invitation to discover what’s holding you back from the wealth you want (and deserve).

“The Abundance Code” doesn’t read like a typical self-help book. It contains unanswered questions, admissions of guilt, and remembrances of fear - just like real life. Having gone from wealth to poverty and back again, the author shares her unique perspective on the mental and emotional patterns that cause us to either gain wealth or lose it.
She shows us how our “baseline” beliefs around money determine where we (and our bank balance) end up - and how, if we don’t master our mindset around money, we’ll continue to find ourselves back at the bottom rung of what we think we deserve.
***As it turns out, it doesn’t matter how much you KNOW about money if you don’t BELIEVE that you deserve it.*** [What - you don’t think you deserve wealth?… well, she blasts that out of the water, too.]

More importantly, the author tells us what to do about it. She shows us how to uncover and bust our money myths and “update our mental software” so that we can finally create (and maintain) a life of abundance. She helps us discover where our resistance lies and how we can finally stop “subconsciously sabotaging” ourselves.

The lessons in this book are universal - and apply whether you grew up with nothing or more than enough. Despite the author's depiction of multi-million dollar deals gone awry (which is something that I can’t relate to - although I'm starting to see why), her story takes us - even those of us without an investment portfolio - on a journey of self-discovery to determine how we’re unconsciously blocking our own potential for wealth. She teaches us how to stop fighting these beliefs - an how to effectively overwrite them, instead.

"The Abundance Code” is full of practical advice to help you discover how powerful your beliefs really are and how to start using them to your advantage. This book is about more than just money - it’s about believing in your own worth so that you can create the life you really want.
For anyone who wants more money in their bank account (and more fulfillment in their life, in general), I highly recommend it.

This is the type of education that should be mandatory in the world’s schools system. Julie Ann Cairns’ The Abundance Code is filled with true secrets to not only educate you on how to become more abundant, but is filled with actionable steps to get you there. Reading it I could feel my beliefs on wealth strengthen through her knowledge and years of experience. This is a must read for anyone looking to have more abundance in their life. I know it will go into my library as a book that I need to read again and again to maintain my beliefs, and to live The Abundance Code.

Julie Cairns has written a book with a message I wish more intelligent, hard-working people would take to heart: Financial freedom and opportunity are within your reach. Beginning with her own personal story, and incorporating insights from the fields of psychology, neuroscience, and economics, Julie outlines detailed steps for overcoming the beliefs that keep so many from achieving their financial goals.

I love how Julie Ann goes through all the 7 Money Myths in detail. This is a great book and I will continue to work on myself with these tools
