About this item

“You have to choose.”

This is what most success experts, personal development authors, and even religious leaders say. You must be one thing, or you must be another. You can’t have it all.

In Rich Routines, entrepreneur Steve Houghton rejects either-or success and embraces both-and. He argues that in a capitalist system, you get rich by enriching others—sometimes in the most literal sense. You get paid well by doing good. All dichotomies to the contrary are false.

Likewise, Rich Routines explains that you do not have to choose between a life of hedonistic pleasure or a bland and stale marriage. You don’t have to choose between a great family and a successful business. You don’t have to choose between faith-based values and monetary success. Nor do you have to skip your children’s lives so you can climb the corporate ladder.

You can have it all—in the right order. Rich Routines shows how to build towards financial wealth by starting with all areas of life that money serves: spiritual, physical, mental, and emotional. Build and follow simple habits in all these areas of life, and the rewards will be lasting.

Rich Routines is the perfectly timed audiobook for aspiring entrepreneurs who have big dreams beyond business, and you don’t want to sacrifice your health for wealth. No, you don’t have to choose!

    5.0 out of 5 stars An inspiring and motivating read
    Reviewed in the United States on November 9, 2024
    I preordered this book with so much excitement for it to be released. It was truly worth the wait. I have followed Steve and his family for years online and am daily inspired by the way they cultivate their daily lives and families to not only be successful but to shine their light with kindness and humility.

    This book is a true extension of who Steve is and his passion for being a leader of his family and community while building generational wealth and success. I am grateful he shared his heart in this book with us so we can learn from his example. The book itself is an easy but inspiring read packed full of relatable content to help you align yourself to your own purpose and to be successful in your goals. I am actually reading through it a second time now because there are so many great nuggets of wisdom to take in.

    After reading this book I feel more inspired and motivated to go after my goals and to help my family do the same. Thank you Steve for giving of your time to write this book and to share with us so we can all learn from your wisdom and carry it out into the world with our own lives. Truly grateful!

    5.0 out of 5 stars HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION
    Reviewed in the United States on October 23, 2024
    Having read countless self-help books, I can confidently say RICH ROUTINES stands out as my top recommendation. Its clear and actionable guidance is perfect if you’re looking to improve your life.
    Unlike many self-help books that are really trying to sell their other more expensive products, this book delivers genuine value, compiling crucial information in one convenient volume. Each chapter is packed with insights and practical steps that you can apply immediately. If you choose just one book to read this year, you should choose Rich Routines. It contains everything necessary for significant growth and transformation in an engaging format. I give this my highest recommendation!!

    This book is fantastic! Healthy, wealthy, and wise—why not all three? Steve Houghton teaches that true success means creating a balance across life’s key areas—health, family, career, and values—through simple, consistent routines. The book shows how you can achieve both personal fulfillment and financial success without sacrificing one for the other. I highly recommend it!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Inspirational and motivational
    Reviewed in the United States on November 9, 2024
    As someone who has spent years in the Early Childhood Education field, I find myself to be very mindful and intentional about how I raise my kids. But listening to Steve talk about ways he and Jen have created safe spaces for their kids to have open conversations really impacted me in a good way. I have never thought about implementing things as my kids get out of the early childhood stage. His book encouraged me to have conversations with my husbands about how we want to go about creating those same safe spaces. His book makes you want to do the same things, but in a way where he’s not telling you to do them the same way he’s doing it! (If that makes sense). He also reflects on how he has done things that we not perfect, and that gave him the opportunity to reflect and apologize and show his kids he makes mistakes too was highly motivational. Listening to Steven’s words at the end and how highly he speaks of his dad brought tears to my eyes. I hope someday my children and family think so highly of me. Bringing joy, and fun into lessons of the Lord and encouraging following Him, and the importance of following Him are also things I plan to implement as well. Weekly family night is also a fabulous idea that allows families to be intentional about creating uninterrupted family time. I simply can not recommend this book enough. It is an easy read, or an easy listen. I have even read along as I was listening to his soothing voice!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Deep Wisdom on Personal Life, Family Life and the Outside World
    Reviewed in the United States on December 4, 2024
    The importance of what Mr. Houghton imparts cannot be understated. This book is easy to read and digest even though each chapter offers so much wisdom regarding routines and consistent habits in life with regards to family wellbeing, physical wellbeing, financial wellbeing, spiritual wellbeing, personal well being and more. Mr. Houghton shares very personal stories from childhood to now, which when I read them, were transformative for me, ie the "converter" story and the teen driver story (not about his son but a complete stranger and the absolute impact kindness can make to changing the course of one's trajectory in life). I carry this book in my purse and read it on the school pick up line and at home in between all that has to be done. I will be gifting this to my two high schoolers and various family members. I've ear marked and annotated like I'm still in school and it's great!
