In This Issue:

Dear Dolphins,

I just had a big ship come in – a producer with ABC TV News contacted me to appear on their cable show “Good Money” on Monday, January 18th. (The show airs at 4:00 pm ET – check your cable listings or look for the video at www.abcnews.com/business.)

It’s very exciting, but what was really fun was to see how they heard about me – the producer saw an article on “Financial Tips for Freelancers” that had been written in 2007 – three years ago! So let me remind all you Dolphins out there not to get discouraged when your ships don’t come in right away. They’re all still out there sailing, waiting for the right moment to head home for your port and unload riches at your dock. All the efforts you’ve made at marketing your products and services live on and one day they will bring you the payoff. So don’t give up the ship! Keep writing and posting articles, keep blogging, keep networking, making sales calls, posting on Facebook, Twitter, etc. They all add up to a Spanish Armada of ships sailing out there on your behalf and you will reap the rewards. Sooner. Or. Later.

People sign up on my web site every day for information on my Financial Stress Reduction® Coaching program, and I keep track of their responses of how they heard about me. This is what they say: got your book at the library, heard about you from a friend, online search, you were mentioned in “Happy for No Reason” or someone else’s book, read an article on the internet, googled “financial stress”, heard you on the radio, saw you mentioned on another web site, etc. All those ships I keep sending out are paying off. Some now, some later.

We are only in charge of sending out ships. We’re not in charge of which ones come in or when. But I see the future and it is bright! Your ships are coming in in 2010!

I’m speaking at two upcoming conferences – Lisa Marie Platske’s event in Ontario January 22-23 and Debbi Chambers and David Neagle’s in Las Vegas March 2 – 6. The details are listed below under “Upcoming Appearances”. Let me know when you’re coming so I can be sure to look for you there!

Love and hugs,
Chellie

How to Solve Your Love-Hate Issue With Money

“Too many of us are not living our dreams because we are living our fears.”—Les Brown

People have funny relationships with money – studies have shown a majority of people believe money is a bad and corrupting influence. But at the same time they want to have millions of dollars to relieve their fear of financial insecurity! With that kind of ambivalence, it’s hard to make money and hold on to it. It’s been estimated that about 70% of lottery winners are broke within 5 years. Part of the problem is psychological, and part of it is just plain ignorance of sound money management principles.

Years ago I read a book on lottery winners and noticed that there seemed to be three things that all the lotto winners did – they bought a new car, took a trip (usually to Hawaii), and they all said the money “wasn’t going to change them.” Now, if you thought having money was a powerful force for good, wouldn’t you say, “Hey, this is really going to change me – I’m going to be a better person now!”?

Just this month, I read about Rob Anderson of Louisville, Kentucky who purchased a lotto ticket by mistake – he wanted 3 separate Quick Picks but the clerk printed out 3 Quick Picks on the same ticket. So he kept that ticket and bought 3 more individual tickets to give as gifts. Guess what? One of the numbers on the ticket he kept due to the mistake won him the Powerball Lottery of $128.6 million! When asked what he was going to do with the money, he said he was going to buy a new car and was thinking about taking a trip to Hawaii. (What did I tell you?) But the first thing he said was, "We're really grounded people. My wife taught me well, so to speak, to hang on to that dollar and see how far it gets you. We'll still clip coupons and still look for the clearance rack."

In other words, it “wasn’t going to change him.” See what I mean?
We all need to lighten up about money and believe in the good things it can do for us. It can be a powerful force for good just as easily as a bad influence.

Here’s how to solve your love-hate issue with money:

  1. Make a list of all the things you can do with money that will be good for you, your family, your friends, and the world. (This doesn’t mean to give it all away – that was the number one reason that lottery winners went broke.) Money can be a powerful force for good in the world!

  2. Say positive money affirmations every day like, “People love to give me money!”, “I am rich and wonderful” and “The more money I have the more money I give for both are infinite!”

  3. Write down your million-dollar budget. When you make your million, where will you spend the money? Remember that every dollar you spend is a gift to someone and is enriching others.

  4. Design your business plan to generate your riches. You have to either serve a lot of people for a small price or just a few people for a large price. Which one suits you?

  5. Send out those ships! You can’t wait for your ship to come if you never send one out! Or, as God said to the man in the story who kept praying to win the lottery – “Buy a ticket!”

"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"
