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!

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!

This book 'Rich Routines' covers all phases of life with the most solid advice you will ever read. It discusses, relationships, marriage, spirituality, parenthood, how to save money and how to wisely invest. This isn't some fluffy feel good life advice book, it's solid tested and proven advice.

How do I know this? The author, Steve Houghton is someone I got to know many years ago when he and his wife Jennifer, first moved to Dallas, where I lived at the time. We met at church. They were young, fresh out of BYU University, and excited with their new opportunity, an opportunity he found out quickly he didn't like, you will read all about that in the book.

My late wife and I became like a big brother and sister to them. We had young boys the same age who enjoyed playing together, we'd invite them to dinner and send them home with leftovers to stock the fridge, as we knew they were being very frugal, a trait we greatly admired and did our best to follow.

Shortly, Steve founded his business and very creatively managed to raise money to buy note packages from failed banks back in the Resolution Trust Days. He turned a small sum into a fortune. He wanted to buy apartments which I specialized in brokering at the time but, my advice to him was don't buy them, too much headache. "What should I invest in" he ask. Now this is where I've said for years I gave someone a million dollar idea I didn't follow myself. "Invest in mini warehouses, that's the trend of today." Well today he owns thousands of warehouse units and they are all cash cows. He was already on the trail to educate himself on mini warehouses when I gave that advice, I think I solidified it in his mind.

Steve never hesitates to give back, he owns and pilots his own helicopter, recently donating his time and helicopter to fly supplies into the disaster area of Asheville NC.

This book is a valuable read for anyone of any age and I encourage you to please obtain and read it, not just because Steve is a friend of mine, but also because you are a friend of mine, even if we’ve never met, and I know you will find the information contained valuable to your own life. I just ordered copies for my kids and I told them to read it cover to cover with highlighter in hand, and to review it often. I encourage you to do the same, read it, buy it for loved ones as gifts, it could be the best gift of their financial and family life.

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!
