Publisher Description
One of the few Black women to break into the boy's club of Silicon Valley offers her secrets for how anyone can build a legacy of wealth and impact.
Having lived nearly her entire life below the poverty line before going on to attain wealth and success as an entrepreneur and investor, Arlan Hamilton knows that money is power—but not for the reasons most people believe. Money is power, she says, because it provides us with options: to pursue our passions, take risks, and change our situation in life.
In Your First Million, Hamilton argues that entrepreneurship is the quickest path to attaining that power—particularly for those who haven’t had much of it in the past— shows how anyone—no matter what they look like or how much money they have—can tap into all the new tools, platforms, and sources of funding available to get their million-dollar idea off the ground.
Readers will learn: how to identify unmet needs in the market, raise money in ways that preserve ownership, choose the right collaborators, create multiple income streams, and turn their unique knowledge and experience into a profitable businesses—while reinvesting in their communities and empowering others to do the same.
If we can change who gets to decide what new ideas are worthy, and who gets to turn those ideas into reality, not only can we change our own circumstances—we can change the world.

Inspirational
From one Black Lesbian Entrepreneur to another, I knew I wasn’t trippin’ about wanting to shake things up in my industry. Respect Sis ✊🏾
Excellently Done!
I have listened AND read (making notes) this book and at age 60+ I have learned more in these few days than I have learned most of my life. Not just learned to have knowledge, which I am a lifetime learner, however learned to implement. I feel I can make that million before I take my place in the “upper room”.
I have brought multiple copies of this book and given them out, especially to my younger ones. Each one teach one.
What a blessing you are Ms. Hamilton.
So Good I Bought the Audiobook AND Hardcover
If you don’t already know about Arlan — her backstory, what she’s fighting for, what she believes in, where she’s headed — grab this book now. The chapters are short, but impactful — perfect for ADHD readers who learn best from digestible, small-but-mighty chunks of content. I have a hard copy to take notes in and will read along while I’m listening to the audiobook for a deeper learning that sticks for books like this.
If price is holding you back, just want to let you know that you WILL earn it back (and then some) IF you follow practical tips shared in her book and/or Arlan’s FREE content (YouTube, YFM podcast, etc.) and ACT on it. If you have trouble with motivation or self-doubt about a business idea, this book will teach and inspire you to take action and make $$$$.
