"I decided to join the Million Dollar Year and the Wealth Building Accelerator because I was tired of feeling confused, angry, ashamed and scared about money. When I started the course, I started writing an affirmation, “I am thrilled with my wealth and finances,” which felt impossible to me at the time.

"I decided to join the Million Dollar Year on impulse after watching a free webinar that really spoke to me. But even the way I joined, spending money I didn't necessarily have without any forethought or planning, was so exactly why I needed the course so badly. Although over 40 with two young children of my own, my relationship with money was so dysfunctiona..." Read more

"I joined the MDY because i realized my relationship with money was mostly avoidance-based. I had no insight into my monthly spending other than keeping above water. This program has forced me to confront my poor money management and take control of my finances. It’s not easy and it’s uncomfortable, but definitely worth it."

"I decided to join the million-dollar year after I heard Laurie say (I'm paraphrasing) - if you can't manage $100, how will you manage multiple six figures, even millions? That hit hard, so I joined immediately afterward. I can confidently say that it's the best investment I have ever made! They should teach this in schools. Now I know what comes in and wha..."

"I joined the Million Dollar Year because I needed to get a better handle on my finances. Doing the MDY self study allowed me to study at my own pace and get clarity about ways to be more in control - to pay down debt, invest more, and give more to charity. I still have a little ways to go, but I feel more confident have made a lot of positive changes!"
