Dear Parents,
I am presently in Prince Edward Island on a wonderful two week vacation with my 6 and 4 year old and my ever supportive husband. We are having an amazing time!
My husband and I went last night to see the newest island musical, “The Nine Lives of L.M. Montgomery”. It was a musical biography of Lucy Maud Montgomery’s life. Maud (as she preferred to be called) was our famous Canadian author of the beloved, “Anne of Green Gables“ book. The musical was absolutely incredible.
As we were watching this incredibly accurate account of her life I was inspired to focus on the life lessons that we can learn from Lucy Maud Montgomery’s life story that we can share with our children to help them to grow up to become strong, independant, entrepreneurial souls.
Here are some of the lessons that I learned last night:
1. Although Maud grew up in a world that was quite negative and dreary she was determined to write stories, novels, and poems that would inspire readers. She chose optimism over pessimism in her writing. It was a place where she could live the life that she really wanted to live, with no limits.
Here are the lessons of perseverance, determination, and the desire to leave behind her a better legacy than was her actual life experience.
How often have you become upset with your circumstances and wanted to just ‘give up’? Use Maud as an example of someone who lived the life she wanted to live, even if it was only in her stories. She found her escape and she was determined to give all of her heroines a happy ending even if her own life lacked happy endings.
Teach your child never to give up, and to find a way to make the things happen that they wish to happen.
Teach them to create happiness for others even when the going gets tough for them personally.
2. Near the end of the play, one of Maud’s characters, Marigold, mentions how Maud may have suffered her tragic life because she expected all of the negative things in her life to come true.
She made life hard on herself by keeping her true emotions locked up inside and only ever letting go in her writing (but even there, she always kept her walls up). She expected bad things to happen to her because they always had. She assumed that good things could only even happen to her in her stories. And so she lived up to her expectations.
I was very impressed with this insight, and refer it to the “law of attraction”.
She expected bad things to happen and so they did. She felt she wasn’t deserving of good and so she wasn’t. It wasn’t until after her death, when she could no longer assume only the negative, that she is finally given the full credit she so thoroughly deserved while she was alive.
What are you doing in your life that is stopping you from achieving your own happiness.
Keep a close eye on your child and how they are reacting to life. Are they expecting good things to happen to them or bad?
Make sure you step in and point it out to them, in either case, so that they may see for themself what their thoughts are doing for their actions.
3. Maud was shown in this musical portrayal to take charge of her career. When the publisher she had signed her contract with for “Anne of Green Gables
Through years of suffering and endless lawyers bills she finally won the right to her writing freedom.
It took persistance and the absolute attitude that she knew she was being treated wrongly and that she deserved better to finally win this victory. But now her family and her PEI island are able to continue to receive their much deserved royalties and literary rights rather than her corrupt publisher.
Who in your life is taking advantage of you? What are you doing about it?
Are there any bullies in your child’s school taking advantage of your child? Are they fighting for their rights or just letting themselves be run over?
There are school and private programs that help teach bully victims how to cope with bullies, and I would encourage you to look into these support groups if your child is being victomised.
Don’t let your child grow up letting others take advantage of them. They will need good strong independant characters to become successful entrepreneurs.
They will need a strong sense of what is right and what is wrong as well as the instinctive insight to what is really in the grey areas of life.
These are only some of the incredible lessons to be learned from Maud’s life but these were the ones I felt were most imporant to pass on to our kids to support their future entrepreneurial souls.
Here’s to your child’s ongoing financial success!

So what do Wrigley’s chewing gum and the Law of Attraction from “The Secret” have in common?
William Wrigley Jr.! Yup that’s right.
The Wrigley company is the largest gum company in the world and it’s founder, William Wrigley, Jr., wrote, ‘Whatever success I may have attained I owe, entirely, to the application of … the Law of Success.’ (the Law of Attraction)
So if Wrigley can accomplish such astounding success through the fundamentals of the Law of Attraction then how about you?
Watch my mind movie and be inspired. Then create your own mind movie so you too can accelerate the Law of Attraction for yourself.
If you would like to create your own mind movie then click here or go to http://www.actlikearichkid.com/
The Law of Attraction states that what “the mind can conceive and believe, it will achieve.”
In other words, first you need to create your perfect future, then you need to believe it as already being so and then it will manifest itself to be true with time and belief.
I know it all sounds a bit hokey poky but it’s incredibly true.
I have used the Law of Attraction for most of my life without even realising it.
Just this past year did I start to consciously make the law of attraction work for me.
I have now seen some of my dreams come to life.
My childhood best friend disappeared without a trace when I was 11 years old. This was a very sad time in my life. I had been searching for her ever since that day she disappeared without any luck. I wanted to know if she was alright, even if she was still alive.
Then after realising the power of consciously using the law of attraction I conceived the idea in my mind that I had found her, then I began to believe that it would absolutely happen to the point that as far as I was concerned I had already found her.
Then just a few weeks ago, my dream became a reality. I found her sister who connected me to my long lost childhood best friend. You can’t even begin to imagine the emotions running through my soul. It was absolutely incredible. She was alive, she was happy and healthy. My heart could be at peace. It was incredible.
But most of all it reassured me that the law of attraction really does work. This was only one example of the many upon many other goals that have manifested themselves to me by using the law of attraction but this one meant the most to me and really gave me the ability to completely believe in the process.
There is no harm in using the law of attraction, there is only harm in not using it because it will work no matter what you are thinking. So for example if someone would like to stop smoking then they would need to think and believe thoughts like, “I am so happy and grateful now that I am healthy and my lungs are clear and free. I breathe in fresh clean air.”
If on the other hand they say things to themselves like, “I want to stop smoking” then the law of attraction will work against them because the universe only hears “smoking” it doesn’t pay attention to the word, “stop” in front of it. So be very careful how you think your thoughts.
As the old saying goes, “Be careful what you wish for, it just may come true.”

Good afternoon,
I am incredibly excited to share this amazing new tool for making all your dreams come true.
Have you heard about the law of attraction?
Simply stated the law of attraction means that for every thought you send out into the universe you will receive that same thought back to you. Have you ever heard the saying, “be careful what you wish for, it just may come true”? Well, that’s how it works in a nut shell.
On the theme of the law of attraction I want to share with you my own personal mind movie.
Very successful people achieve their goals by writing them down and then reading back their goals to themselves on a daily basis. They imagine that they already own what they desire and have already achieved the success that they are going for.
Some of them use vision boards, which I have personally used now for many years, and it’s amazing how they come true.
But the best way to make the law of attraction work for you is to have your visual goals and dreams ring an emotional feeling at the same time. The really kicks the law of attraction into gear at full steam. The best way I have found to achieve this fast track to law of attraction success is to use mind movies.
So without further adu, have a look and enjoy.
If you would like to create your own mind movie then click here or go to http://www.actlikearichkid.com/
The idea is to create your own personal dreams mind movie of all the things you would like to achieve and then watch it in the morning when you get up and again at night just before you go to bed. Do this and your dreams will be closer than you can expect!
Success!

P.S. Let me know if any of you create your own mind movies, I’d love to see them and share them.
