UPDATED REVIEW, APRIL 2006: I've just finished re-reading "The Wealthy Spirit", and yes, it's one of those books you'll benefit from reading more than once.

Chellie Campbell combines daily AFFIRMATIONS with practical ACTIONS to help you turn your money life around--for the better!

The affirmations help you to change the way you THINK about money, and let's face it, changing the way you think about ANYTHING is the first step to changing your actions.

The practical strategies, which include such basics as "Count Your Money" (keeping track of what you have, what you spend, etc.), keep you moving steadily toward your financial goals.

Chellie's daily motivation also encourages you to "Swim with the Dolphins" and "Avoid the sharks" and, by the end of the book, you'll know how to recognize both, and why to avoid some of these "fishy" characters if you want to be wealthy and avoid financial stress. (Hint: we all have some "tunas" in our lives--but we oughta throw 'em back in the water!)

This book is just plain FUN to read, and, more importantly, it offers real-world strategies that are EASY to implement.

Chellie's newest book, "Zero to Zillionaire" has just been released, and it contains 8 steps that can lead you to financial peace of mind.

Read "The Wealthy Spirit" first (or again!), and then prepare to dive into "Zero to Zillionaire".

In my first review of The Wealthy Spirit, I said: "Chellie will probably be the next Suze Orman--she's that good!" Once you've read her books, I think you'll agree!





Reviewer: Linda Painchaud-Steinman

Chellie Campbell is a wonderful storyteller and her daily affirmations are a pleasure to read. Like so many of us, my life is full to the brim and I have many demands on my time. I love the fact that her book is designed so that I can easily incorporate it into my life. All I have to do is just read one page to get a kickstart to my day! Now that I CAN do! Every day I find that I am entertained by a good story, I learn a lesson and affirm a positive statement that establishes my outlook for the whole day. It all so simple. That's the marvelous thing about THE WEALTHY SPIRIT. Chellie's book is deceptively simple but each daily segment is packed with so much depth. If you read this book and absorb its lessons through your daily practice, you will literally discover the truth of the maxim "change your thinking, change your life." I'm on day 40 and I already see the shift taking place in my life as I send out my ships, count my money and survive the storms. THE WEALTHY SPIRIT is helping me become a wealthy woman!

I have been a Chellie Campbell fan since we met years ago at a local women's networking function--so the fact that Chellie has written her book is NOT a surprise. However, others I know have done the same--and though I like the person, their book is bland,hard to stay with. Additionally, "money books" usually leave me feeling nervous and caged :-0!! INSTEAD, "The Wealthy Spirit" (like its author) extends a compassionate, funny helping hand. It reads and feels like another favorite book of mine, "Simple Abundance" by Sarah Van Breathnach. Chellie's writing is real. Her spirit soars in this book--and if you commit to reading one entry a day, it will pick you up and teach you to fly too. Well done, Chellie!

Chellie Campbell, the author of this incredible book, is something of a legend in this part of the country where she lives (Los Angeles), but for those of you who haven't yet heard of her work, I'd like to share a quick story.

I took Chellie's financial stress reduction class here several years ago and almost immediately tripled my income as she taught me how to "send out ships" and change my relationship with money, which I thought was good to begin with. Over the years my financial picture has only gotten stronger... Her advice is THAT good. This book is a perfect replica of her teachings and her writing is so beautiful that it's nearly addictive. Chellie has written what I believe will become a classic in the genres of positive thinking and money.

If you love Suze Orman, think of Chellie as the ultimate companion. The two are so totally different in their style, but together may just give you the ultimate whole.

I got this book from a friend in the real estate industry who told me that I should be using it to teach my clients. Boy was he right! This book is the best thing for keeping salespeople on track day after day. Its clear writing, profound insights and down-home wisdom get right past all the "yeah, buts" of the agents in the field. I use it as a regular part of my training. In fact, I close every new agent training session with The Waitress and The Short Order Cook, telling my agents that they will get what they choose to create and asking them "would you like to change your order?"

This book offers a page-a-day format for constant positive thought about your finances. Although I've never managed to read only one page in a day, I have found it to be invaluable for me in keeping my eyes pointed in the right direction for finding the next good thing to come my way. Chellie is an artist with words and brilliant in her presentation format. This book is a must-read.

The Wealthy Spirit is not a book about money. It is a book about how to live a rich, full, beautiful life and make money along the way, doing what you love. It is full of amazing, true stories of real people who, if you follow the principles they followed, will inspire you to your greatness. Each story starts with an amazing quote by someone famous and then each story is followed by an uplifting affirmation, that if repeated, will help the reader be happier and richer! The writings are so well done and poignant. I can't wait to give this book to everyone I know.

I loved this book. I carry it with me everywhere! I share the daily affirmations with family and friends. I even quote Chellie Campbell. I had the pleasure of taking her Stress Reduction Workshop a few months ago, and let me tell you it was worth every penny! I learned things about myself, my spending and earning habits even how I precieve my self worth!
Chellie's words of wisdom and goal setting has not only bettered my business life, it has altered the way I conduct my personal life for the much better! The cost of the course is a drop in the bucket when I stop to consider it's value: PRICELESS!

Reading "The Wealthy Spirit" has changed my life. I had read the book a few years ago when I was having trouble at my job, as soon as I started my affirmations, I started to get bonuses and raises. It really worked! I continued my affirmations through out the years, but recently had to switch jobs. I took the book out again and started re-reading it. I was able to land a new job, and even in a slow economy I have been able to not only reach, but also exceed all sales goals. I have recommended the book to both friends and family. It really changed the way I feel about money and success. I had not realized how negative I was about money, reading the book helped me understand that I could achieve my dreams & goals with hard work, believing in myself, affirmations and a little help from the man upstairs :)

This is a great book. But while I was reading it I did not have the dicipline of reading it the way it was designed. Instead of reading a page a day and focusing on that page, I would read and read and read. I then loaned it to a friend, and have not seen it since, so I need another copy.

Why am I buying another one? Well besides for the daily advice for how to bring wealth into your life, it seemed focused for lives that don't depend upon a weekly or bi-weekly paycheck. I was working for a business and so the money was coming from one source, now that I'm not working for a single company the money needs to be coming from multiple places, I feel this book would be suited wonderfully to my new circumstances.

This is not to say that this book is not for someone who works for someone else. But if you do, then you have to look at other ways of making money, perhaps you sell art on the side, or pursue an old hobby that will bring money in. Or whatever. I did not originally look at those avenues, and now I'm going to.
This one is worth it! (Twice!)

Well, I have to say, I love Chellie's book! I have read through it once already and have begun my second time around. My partner and I read a page each day to each other - what a great way to begin the day!
The stories are inspiring, touching and empowering and I love saying the affirmations throughout the day.
I am also a graduate of Chellie's Financial Stress Reduction Workshop and have to say the value of taking her workshop cannot be measured in dollars and cents! The synergy of the group and the support of the group is wonderful and it's great to see so many people taking the energy of money and making it work in a new and measurable way.
Chellie's teaching style and humor helps to support and honest, straight-forward and non-judgemental view of our own financial picture. The class and the book have helped me see how my financial life got to be the way it is and how I can change my circumstances and my experience with money. Now that's success!
If you cannot take the class, buy this book, read it and do the exercises beginning today - get a buddy to do it with you and have fun with your money!
