Product Description

Zero to Zillionaire is a scale. We are all on that scale somewhere-some of us are drowning near Zero and some of us are riding the crest of the Zillionaire wave. Why is that? Why do some people sink to the bottom of the ocean, some people float to the peak at the top, and the majority tread water in the middle? After accident of birth places a person somewhere on the scale, what is it that makes some stay where they were born, and others rise on the scale? Or fall off the scale? Why do a lot of wealthy people have no spirit and why are a lot of spiritual people are broke?

This book will help you understand your place on the scale and how to move up the food chain. You will learn how to implement the 8 successful steps:

1) Daily routines change your mindset and your future
2) Figure out what you really want
3) Take action-how to bring home the zillions
4) Surround yourself with people who make you rich and happy
5) Keep score in the money game
6) Your zillionaire time frame starts now
7) Make success out of failure
8) Lighten up-the whole idea is to have a great life!

You can qualify for Zillionaire status, with wealth in your work, happiness in your home, and a balance between the two. Follow these principles and you will have a balanced checkbook, a balanced schedule, a balanced spirit, and a balanced life. You can be a Zillionaire: someone who has a zillion dreams, is taking a zillion actions to make them come true, makes as many zillions of dollars as possible, has a zillion friends, is doing a zillion good deeds, taking a zillion naps and a zillion vacations, and having a zillion adventures in a long, fun-filled life!

From Booklist
At first glimpse, it seems like yet another Suze Orman wannabe. But don't dismiss Campbell's second book (after The Wealthy Spirit, 2002) without a more in-depth perusal. Rather than another lengthy explanation of how to build monetary wealth, Campbell expounds on the eight strategies to accumulate emotional and spiritual wealth while simultaneously saving some and spending some. Most of all, she promotes this Talmudic quote: "A person will be called upon to account, on Judgment Day, for all permitted pleasures he might have enjoyed but did not." She begins with thinking the right kinds of thoughts (80 percent of an average human's are negative), continues with visioning (descriptions from home to connection with the world), and ends with the reminder to pay rent for the space you occupy on Earth. Along the way, her analogies are sharp and visual. For instance, dolphins are the positive ideal, with sharks (con artists) and tunas (or victims) nipping at fins. A wonderful reaffirmation of what life should be. Barbara Jacobs

Customer Reviews

Wonderful book -- full of imaginative ideas!
I loved Chellie Campbell's last book, "The Wealthy Spirit" so much that I bought 100 copies to give to clients and people who come to my financial planning seminars. I am so delighted to see that this new book is equally wonderful.

If you think being a zillionaire is only about having a lot of money at the sacrifice of a rich personal life, don't buy this book as you will probably not like it. But if you are like me and think that being a zillionaire is about having money AND having deep friendships and a lot of fun in your life, you will really love this book!

Chellie uses a lot of little analogies and stories that are really charming and memorable. For example, she talks about sending out ships to bring back your treasure. Everyone's ship is different, depending on how you make your living. I found myself being irritated with 100+ emails per day to deal with until I started using Chellie's more positive approach and looking at each email as a tiny canoe that gets my name in front of someone once again. Amazing how just that one little mental twist has made email time a whole lot more enjoyable.

As a practicing Certified Financial Planner(tm) I really admire the chapters on counting your money and being more effective with your time by being more focused and deliberate. There is also a fabulous opening chapter about the importance of your mental attitude in achieving financial wealth. The more years I have been in practice, the more I realize how important it is to stress this component of wealth building.

There is a great chapter on surviving the storms when your ships are sinking. In my opinion, this terrific chapter alone is worth the price of the book. Everyone has storms -- knowing how to survive them and not be miserable along the way is definitely a topic almost all of us can use.

If you want an exceptionally enjoyable book to read, along with an amazing variety of ideas you probably haven't considered before, then this is the book for you.

Inspiring book from an inspiring writer
There are many books on financial fitness out there, but this is the first one I have read that made me feel like the author was my friend and coach speaking directly to me! What a pleasure to know there was someone in my corner -- like a cheerleader -- who also knows her stuff. Chellie Campbell helps the reader to get himself or herself into the right frame of mind and then helps the reader to pick the right goals. She reminds you to hang out with people who make you happy in addition to sharing how to deal with the difficult ones (like a family member who is a shark). Keeping score is important and I think my favorite chapter was to Lighten up on the way to Enlightenment. This book makes getting control of your finances a challenge to be inspired by, and gives you a positive outlook model to aspire to.

Inspiring AND Practical ...
ZERO TO ZILLIONAIRE is a great follow-up to THE WEALTHY SPIRIT. Chellie's voice is that of a kind yet tough friend who will tells you like it is--- even when you don't want to hear it. She's been there, done that, and isn't taking any excuses. For those of us who have "issues" in our relationship with money and wealth, ZERO TO ZILLIONAIRE is filled with practical tips and the inspiration to take an active role in managing and expanding our finances in positive and spiritual ways.

Oh, and BTW, it's a little scary: the affirmations DO work, whether you believe they will or not. Thanks, CC, for this kick in the pants.
