I love the word prosperity.

'Rich' or 'Wealthy' strongly remind me of the sacrifices my mom made to amass wealth (the kind that took care of her entire extended family) and the backlash she received for it as a woman entrepreneur in a technical field thriving in our post-communist society (Romania).

Prosperous feels like I'm satisfied in all ways, like money is a natural component of a bigger sense of fulfillment and purpose.

I'm staking my claim to this word. I am and forever will be prosperous.

Prosperity creeps in through every pore and comes out in every action and decision I make.

After a brief consideration, the thing that made me smile with delight? "I am rolling in dough". I feel bubbly and want to clap my hands.

I learned from someone I deeply respect here @teri leigh that words are spells. The words we use matter so much isn't it??

The phrase that feels absolutely right to me as of now is: infinite abundance flows through and around me.

I love the word wealthy too. Though I feel disconnected with the word rich, because I use it for food lol 😂.

This is so fascinating Shaneh! Thank you!

As you might imagine, as the author of a book called Sell to the Rich, I feel this deeply. I was, and am still told, the title is too blunt. Perhaps it should have been called Sell to the Wealthy or some other nonsense. But my whole point is, having worked with “rich” people for 40 years, they value straightforwardness. The book is for service providers, who, let’s get to the point, want to have successful businesses and fund their lives so let’s not beat around the bush. Thank you for helping people reclaim rich.

I've sent your books to clients, and because I know them as well as I do, my note encourages them to look deeper if the title triggers them at all, and to trust that I would only send a book that can inspire new possibilities.
