What You'll Get in this Book:

In You Deserve to Be Rich, the founders of Earn Your Leisure, Rashad Bilal and Troy Millings, will give you a complete blueprint for financial freedom. The key is to see money as a strategic tool for wealth development rather than an end in and of itself. You Deserve to Be Rich will teach you to:

  • Understand the psychological toll of growing up living paycheck to paycheck and healing from financial trauma

  • Explore income-building strategies outside of your 9-5, from investing in often-overlooked sectors to side hustles

  • Begin earning passive and residual income to control your time, working conditions, and lifestyle.  

  • Master the complexities of the tax and insurance systems and identify the (legal) loopholes you need to maximize wealth

  • Navigate the family expectations that can complicate financial planning and find ways to support your community

You Deserve to Be Rich is a first-of-its-kind playbook for beating the proverbial money game, whether you grew up knowing the rules or not.

Praise

“With You Deserve to Be Rich, Troy Millings and Rashad Bilal from Earn Your Leisure offer a powerful blueprint to get started on your journey building generational wealth. Like me, Troy is a former teacher—and it shows in the clear, actionable, and spot-on advice he and Rashad deliver in these pages. This book will be a great step to achieving the life you’ve always dreamed about.”
—Tiffany Aliche, aka The “Budgetnista,” New York Times bestselling author of Get Good with Money

“EYL has written more than just a financial guide—it’s a blueprint for breaking free from the systems that keep us broke and disempowered. They are giving us the jewels to take control of our money, invest wisely, and build generational wealth. A must read for anyone looking to level up financially and mentally. It’s food for your entrepreneurial spirit, but you have to do your own dishes.”
—Charlamagne Tha God

“Earn Your Leisure’s journey is a testament to the power of financial education. They remind us that being smart with money isn't just for the wealthy—it’s for everyone!”
—Steve Harvey

“For centuries, Black communities have not had access to critical resources to achieve financial empowerment. At a time when the Black-white racial wealth gap in the United States stands at 13-to-1, we have to deliver these resources at scale to our communities. That’s why Troy and Rashad’s work with Earn Your Leisure is so essential. We have a real opportunity with this platform to drive transformative and sustainable change for Black and underserved communities.”
Robert F. Smith, founder, chairman and CEO, Vista Equity Partners
