I received an email from Joe Vitale this morning and I just had to paste it here for you.
In Joe’s email, he “dispels seven money myths” that the negative media likes to spoon-feed you. And once you understand them, you will not only get through the financial crisis - you will prosper even more in the future.”
Also, I’ll be releasing the interview I did with Joe (and Dr. John Demartini and Mike Dooley, all from ‘The Secret’) in 8 days about their insights on how to raise happy, successful, thriving kids and teens.
In my interview with Joe, one of the things I talk to him about is how to raise prosperity minded children.
Here’s Joe Vitale’s email: What do you think? leave a comment, if you would!
SUBJECT LINE: I’ve never seen anything like it.
I’m literally getting mailing after mailing from people panicking over the world economy, wondering how they’re going to cope with it.
And my heart goes out to each and every one of them. In fact, at one time I actually was homeless living on the street. I know the feeling of being scared.
The theme in all these mailings is that money seems to now be viewed more from a negative perspective than a positive.
This really got me thinking hard and I figured it was time to do whatever I can to help change people’s perspective back - regardless of the apparent financial crisis playing out in the negative media.
So…
I decided I’d like to dispel seven money myths that the negative media likes to spoon-feed you. And once you understand them, you will not only get through the financial crisis - you will prosper even more in the future.
Here they are…
1. Stocks are not as secure as acting on ideas. Moneymaking ideas are gifts from the Universe; act fast on them and you can prosper fast. (Don’t simply entrust your money to others - have faith in your own ideas and take control of your financial future.)
2. Saving is not as powerful in attracting money as giving. The more money you give, from a heart of love and to wherever you feel inspired, the more you will receive. (And this is not just true of money - you can also give your time to helping others.)
3. Planning for your retirement isn¹t as powerful as living now with an awareness of your future. Putting off your enjoyment of life is pushing away your current prosperity. (When you save for a rainy day or delay enjoying your life now, you do yourself a disservice. After all, none of us know exactly how many days we have left on this beautiful planet.)
4. Investing in something like real estate isn¹t as rewarding as investing in yourself. The more you expand your awareness and education, the more you can see the opportunities to make more money. (The more you invest in yourself - the better the return you’ll get when you take action on what you learned.)
5. A belief such as money is the root of all evil will block prosperity. The lack of money is actually the root of all evil. Being detached but respectful toward money will help you attract it. (Remember that right now, even during all the financial chaos out there - someone is getting wealthy and attracting a fortune.)
6. Scarcity is a function of the mind; so is abundance. Human creativity can solve any problem and find ways to profit along the way. (If you can block out the negative media and what the masses are thinking and doing - you may be surprised what you can accomplish. Sometimes you have to zig, while others zag.)
And finally…
7. Practical spending isn¹t as wise as enthusiastic spending. When you buy something that helps you feel good, you increase your energy vibration, feel better about yourself, and tend to do more things to make more money.
So…
If you find yourself stuck and feeling powerless in the midst of all this financial chaos, and want immediate help to get yourself back on track financially, click the link below to learn how you can get help.

I want you to remember that you are already wealthy and you may not even know it. People all around the world would be envious to be in your shoes.
Count your blessings everyday and be grateful for all that you already have whether it be a home, car, savings, your family, or a best friend with a shoulder you can lean on during rough times.
I encourage you to share this email with anyone else you think needs a helping hand through this financial chaos.
Love,
Joe

End of Joe’s email.
Well, let’s look at this in terms of how to model prosperity-mindedness for our kids. One thing that comes up for me a lot is, I’ll tell my kids “We are prosperous. We are abundant,” and then I’ll turn around and say “No, we’re not going out to dinner tonight because we’re trying to save money” - and then they’ll basically call me a hypocrite!
My teenage son will say something like, “If we’re so rich, how come we can’t afford to go out to dinner!”
To answer my own question, I’m thinking maybe instead of saying “We’re not going out to dinner tonight because we’re trying to save money,” I could say, “Your stepdad and I choose not to go out to dinner tonight,” or I could say, “Your stepdad and I just went out to dinner yesterday and today we’d like to eat home.” Or, “let’s plan a day when we can all go out to dinner together as a family. What are some of your suggestions for restaurants?”
Hmmmmm, I think I just answered my own question…but I’d love to hear your feedback on that or anything in Joe’s email…
