I treat money disorders – spending bulimia and income anorexia. I became a Money Coach in 1990 when I started teaching the Financial Stress Reduction® Workshops.
I am the author of three books The Wealthy Spirit, Zero to Zillionaire, and From Worry to Wealthy published by Sourcebooks.
NEWEST VENTURE!: I always had a dream that I could gather a fabulous group of people to read my page-a-day book The Wealthy Spirit together and help each other achieve our goals.
Now we’re doing it in “The Wealthy Spirit Group” on Facebook.
Every day, I do a 10-minute motivational video from that day’s page to inspire and help people to live rich - inside and out!
It's too fun! I have people from all over the world including England, New Zealand, India and Singapore and we’re having a fabulous time! It's pretty new but I have over 150 members now. Would love to have you join us!
Poker is my hobby; after I was invited to speak at the Women's Poker Association conference in 2018, I took first place in the California State Ladies Poker Championship No-limit Hold'em Tournament at the Bicycle Club Casino.
My new book has a chapter “The Amazing Things I Learned About Business From Playing Poker!) Other interests include birding, science fiction, fine dining--especially deserts but had to give those up while I lose weight--and being a "Grantie" to my sister’s grandkids.
And, it's good so far! Very motivational - not just about money, but about life and getting to where you want to be in the world! I definitely recommend it!
I had a lot of mixed feelings about this book. There were certainly some useful pieces of information and ways to frame things, just like any other 'self help' book. But it was also mostly filled with fluffy pieces of meaningless text, just like most other 'self help' books too.
The book starts off by highlighting the importance of positive thinking. This is always something good, and I do think it does make subtle differences that reflect on our body language and state of mind, which do make a significant difference in how successful we are. It clearly is not enough, but it is pretty important.
The next main idea is the metaphor that you have to send out lots of 'ships' to bring you back treasure. It is a nice way of putting a well known truth, that until you actually try and do something about your dreams, you are not going to achieve anything. Furthermore, you are much more likely to succeed the more times you try (sending out more 'ships'). You will fail more than others, but the difference between successful and unsuccessful people is that the former fail far more frequently.
Finally, the book makes a distinction between 'sharks' (hyper-aggressive cheating type people), 'dolphins'(positive people that work hard), and 'tunas' (people with low self esteem that always feel sorry for themselves and complain). Basically try to be a dolphin, and keep sharks and tunas out of your intimate group of friends.
In the end, she could have probably said all the important information in like 15 pages and squeezed out all the fluff. Then again, that would probably be a much more technical read and not at all what the author intended.
