Dear Dolphins,

ChellieCampbell, Professional Speaker and Author of The Wealthy Spirit and Zero to Zillionaire has been teaching Financial Stress Reduction® Workshops since 1990. The Wealthy Spirit was a book-of-the-week on the Doctor Laura Schlessinger radio show and a GlobalNet book-of-the-month selection. She has been quoted in Good Housekeeping, Lifetime, Woman's World, and Essence, and more than 30 popular books.

I love books. A great day in my young life was when my mom would drop me off at the library in the morning and pick me up in the late afternoon. I was always amazed at how many interesting subjects there were, and how could people write all that? At the time, I never imagined that I would write one myself…yet here I am, decades later, with two books published, mentioned in 42 other people’s books with several more in the works.

But let me give you a tip: this is just what happens during a lifetime if you just keep showing up. Things add up: the credits on your resume lengthen, your experience grows; you collect awards, friendships, and titles. Entrepreneur and author Heather Picken recently introduced me on her podcast interview and as I listened to her list all my credits, I thought, “Wow, I’d be impressed with all that if I didn’t know it took me about 30 years to do it!” My friend and author BJ Gallagher wrote a story about me for a new book of hers and at the end she quoted me as saying, “I’m 50 years old and happier than I’ve ever been!” I had to tell her, “No, no, I’m 60 now, darling.” She responded that she thought I might like to shave a few years off. I just laughed. “Nope. I fought long and hard for these years, and I’m proud of ‘em!”

The latest book I’m in is a wonderful compilation by Kathleen Smith and Liz Ireland. They have been working on “Women of Vision: Ordinary Women, Extraordinary Lives” for the last two years now it is no longer a dream, but a reality. Based on the bodacious lives of over thirty women they interviewed, “Women of Vision” is a practical roadmap guiding readers on a quest to create new meaning in their lives. It provides inspiration by demonstrating what is possible for any woman. Check it out on amazon.com or Barnes & Noble.com!

Happy New Year! Go create a future! LetÕs all shine in 2009!

Cheers,

Chellie

Risks on the Road Between You and the Emerald City

“Perseverance is a great element of success. If you only knock long enough and loud enough at the gate, you are sure to wake up somebody.”
—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

If you arenÕt winning enough in your life, itÕs because you arenÕt losing enough. ÒWhat?!Ó you may be thinking. ÒIÕm losing plenty, thanks. That canÕt be right.Ó

It is right. You have to take risks to win. And you don’t win every time you take a risk. Success is a percentage game—and it’s not even a big percentage. The difference between successful people and unsuccessful people is that successful people are willing to fail more often than unsuccessful people. They are willing to hear “no” and get rejected. Millionaire baseball players bat .300—that means they only hit three balls out of ten. But they make millions because most people can’t even hit that many.

The difference is that winners have an intense, laser-focused attention on the goal—and on winning the goal. They don’t see the goal as out of reach, they believe that they will attain it if they just do the right things. If they don’t know exactly what the right things are, they are willing to experiment, pay for lessons, workshops, coaches, and try different things until they happen upon the things that work, and then they do those things over and over and over, ad infinitum, until the goal is achieved. They send out a ship, and then they send out another one. And another one. And another and another and another. It doesn’t matter how many ships sink, how many people say no to you; it only matters how many people say yes. So keep on going until enough people say yes. You have to have this kind of determination not to quit and to keep going until the yeses arrive like the next ship on the next wave. Or the one after that.

So how do you remain undefeated in the face of lost ships? How do you garner the strength—mental, physical, and spiritual—to build another? And the one after that? How do you face mounting losses, over and over again?

It take passion, determination, and single-minded devotedness to purpose. When you're Dorothy and your goal is the Emerald City, you are willing to take any path to get there - your goal is all that matters. Determination is like an iron fist in your gut. You will not be dissuaded from your dream because there's a wicked witch on the road, or flying monkeys overhead, or a guard at the gate who denies you entrance between you and the Emerald City. You will never be one of those small people who are content to stay forever in Munchkinland. You will get to the Emerald City or die on the road to the Emerald City. And because you keep on moving down the road, life helps you out by sending you a Glinda, a Tin Man, a Scarecrow, and a Lion to give you encouragement and help you succeed.

Losing fires up winners. Their response when someone tells them they aren’t good enough, they can’t do it, or they’re a loser, is “Oh, yeah? Watch this!” They use the rejection as an energetic launching pad to redouble their efforts, sharpen their creativity, and prove the naysayers wrong.

Let me give you a tip: There’s no “there” there. There is no place to get to where you stay put “happily ever after.” Because after you reach your Emerald City, it isn’t long before you’re making plans for the Ruby City next. And the Diamond City after that. As soon as you get one goal, you just set another goal. Goals are not ends in themselves – they are just there to get you out on the road, meeting people, and experiencing life. Be passionate, follow your bliss, and the worst that can happen is you live a life full of great adventures. It’s all good.

ItÕs a New Year. The yellow brick road beckons you onward. Where are you headed next?

Go for it! Do it! Yes, you can!

Love and blessings,

Chellie

"Man has always assumed he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much--the wheel, New York, wars, and so on--while all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man for precisely the same reason."--Douglas Adams, "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy"
