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.

The Main Event of the World Series of Poker is being played in Las Vegas as I write this. But I am not playing in it. My poker ships (chips) sank last weekend when I played in some smaller events to try to win my way into the $10,000 Main Event. So this year, playing in it was not in the cards (pun intended).

Don’t you just hate it when all those beautiful ships you built sink instead of sailing in filled to the brim with beautiful treasures? Rats! Sometimes it’s our fault – we didn’t put the right sails on it, we forgot the rudder, or neglected the hole that was too near the water line. And sometimes it’s out of our hands – an unseasonable storm blew in at just the wrong moment, our investor partner pulled out and left us short of funds, or some other ship caught the wave in front of us and swamped us in her wake.

So what do you do when things don’t go your way? Do you get mad, curse your fate and everyone else’s ships? Cry on the dock and moan, “Why does this always happen to me?” Go home and sulk and give up your dreams, thinking you’re a loser so you might as well give it up?

This is the difference between winners and whiners: Winners have just as many ships sink as whiners do. But they know it’s just part of the numbers game: 80% of your ships will sink, but success is in the 20% that sail home with the treasure. And those 20% successes will more than pay for the 80% failures (as long as you’ve done your business plan and budgeted properly). That’s the risk-reward ratio of success.

Winners are accomplished at the 3 Ds: Drive, determination, and discipline. That’s what gets them back out in the harbor after a disaster.
So when a ship sinks, remember that - and send out another ship! When your ship comes in, your fortune will be made!

Playing The Numbers

“You have to find something that you love enough to be able to take risks, jump over the hurdles and break though the brick walls that are always going to be placed in front of you. If you don't have that kind of feeling for what it is you are doing, you'll stop at the first giant hurdle.”—George Lucas

Terry and John were stuck.

They had worked hard on their new consulting business – designed the program, the workshops, the coaching, the speeches. The web site, the ads, the email lists, the brochures. They had targeted their market, networked, handed out business cards. Then they fiddled with everything, readjusted, redesigned, redeployed. Hours, weeks, months went by as they delayed and discussed and tweaked.

Meanwhile, no money was coming in.

All this activity was designed to create a profitable business - while the phone on their desk gathered dust.

You know that phone – the one with the money in it. The one at the other end of which is your prospect, your customer, the person with all the money to hire you, pay your fees, and praise you, write you testimonials, and send you more customers! The one that can say “Yes!! Yes! I want you, I need you, I love you, and here’s the money! When can you start?”

The problem is, he isn’t going to call you. You have to call him. And there’s just one catch: before you find him, you have to call a bunch of other people who are going to say:

“Not now”

“I’m not interested.”

“I have to ask my _____.

“I don’t have the money.”

“I don’t have the time.”

Yada yada yada. And we soooo don’t want to hear that! And so, to avoid that disappointing confrontation, we don’t pick up the phone.

Terry and John weren’t picking up the phone. And so they were running out of money. When they came to me, I smiled. Then I told them to pick up the phone. Yeah, I know, it’s a Web.2 world, and everybody wants to figure out the perfect suck-you-in ad or email campaign so that other people will be moved to pick up the phone and call you. Well, you can do some of that, and some of that works. But you have no power and control over it – you send the email and wait. Now your prospects are in control of your money and your life and they don’t know what your timetable is. So I told Terry and John to start smiling and dialing and to keep track of the numbers of how many people they called and how many people said yes.

Terry did it. When I saw her again the next month, she was a changed woman. She looked strong and confident, as people do who face a challenge in a powerful way. Her power was written on her face and in the energy of her body. She had walked through her fear and opened up to just having lovely conversations with people that might be interested in her service or give her a referral. She said she repeated 50 of my affirmations before every call, and that she was scared picking up the phone, but she did it.

Just do it. You’re not in charge of the response on the other end of the phone. You’re only in charge of making the call.

She hasn’t sold her program yet, but she will. If you call enough people in the right target market, you’re going to make some sales. It’s a numbers game. And Terry is playing the numbers.

1. Write the number of calls you made this week here _____.

2. Write the number of sales you made this week here _____.

3. Write the amount of money you made this week here ___________.

The simple math of business is this: a bigger number in line one = a bigger number in line two = a bigger number in line three.

Next month – what to say when you make the call. (Hint: it had better not start with “Hi, let me tell you about me and my great stuff.”) For the complete “It’s Not Cold Calling – It’s Gold Calling” report, join the Dolphin Club today and get this and other reports and bonus gifts free with your membership at www.chellie.com.

HOW TO MAKE $200,000 A YEAR AS A WORKSHOP LEADER WITHOUT LEAVING YOUR HOME!

The Financial Stress Reduction® Workshop Certification Program is about to begin! Having created the 8-week Financial Stress Reduction® Workshop in 1990 and taught it for the past 18 years, I have been delighted and amazed at the transformations participants have realized in their lives. People have doubled their incomes in the course, opened successful businesses, paid off debts, gotten married, and left unfulfilling jobs or relationships behind them. Here are a few of the testimonials about the course:

“I have tripled my income and finally got that saving program going. Do not miss this workshop. Give Chellie 8 weeks, do what there is to do in the workshop and you will get huge benefits.”
---Mimi Donaldson, Co-author, Negotiating for Dummies and Bless Your Stress
310-577-0229, www.mimispeaks.com

“When I first took Chellie’s class I was worried that I could not pay my rent. After Chellie’s class, using her principles and my new career direction I doubled my income in the first 6 months and with in two years was a million dollar producer in my industry. The following year I bought my first home that is now worth over 1 million. That’s a long way from the apartment that I didn’t have the rent for. Warning…Only take Chellie class if you want to be financially successful.”
—Gaye Kruger-Ribble, The Company Image, Inc.

“The tenets of Chellie’s The Wealthy Spirit and the Financial Stress Reduction Workshop are absolutely the backbone of my business. Fortunately, I took the class right as I was opening my private practice, and it saved me a lot of the “first-year-in-business-in-the-red blues.” Smartest money I ever paid. My peers are shocked and amazed at how fast I grew my business and how much money I made in thank you for the stand that you are for financial abundance for us all.” Update July, 2006: ”Our sales in 2005 went to $2M and we're on track to do the same in 2006!! Thank you so-o-o much for your brilliant ideas and your ongoing support. You're THE BEST!”

As the years went by, I wrote two best-selling books published by Sourcebooks - The Wealthy Spirit and Zero to Zillionaire I have received thousands of emails from all over the world declaring that its message helped them with life and money mastery, and many asked how they could participate in a workshop, since they couldn’t come to Los Angeles for 8 weeks. It became clear that I needed to train other people to teach the workshop and now the time is here! Now you can become a Certified Dolphin Leader of the Financial Stress Reduction® Workshop at our first training March 26-30, 2008 at the spectacular Portofino Hotel and Yacht Club in Redondo Beach, CA.

I am so excited to expand the reach and vision of the work and join with you in helping many more people to be happy, successful, and rich! Contact me at Chellie@Chellie.com or 310-476-1622 and I will be happy to help you!

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"
