Questions and Answers

I've received a lot of emails on the Prosperity Experiment, as well as on the contest and the fundraiser, so I'm going to "Reply to All" right here. Here goes:

The Prosperity Experiment:

Q: How long do I have to do this visualization thing? I don't have much time as it is!

A: How about 68 seconds? I'm sure you have that much time, if not, make the time. The important thing is to feel good when you do it, not feel like it's one more thing on your "To Do" List. Think of it as a small, mental health break, a long refreshing breath of fresh air. Feel how good it will be to have the money that will allow so much freedom in your life. And smile!

Q: Isn't this "worshipping money? Isn't money the "root of all evil?"

A: No and No. You are not worshipping the money, and the quote is actually, "the LOVE of money is the root of all evil". If you have any hangups about money at all : there's not enough money to go around, only the rich and the lucky ever have enough money, money is bad, money is evil, money causes problems, etc., then you will find the opposite effect happening.

Money is called "currency" for a reason. Like a river flowing in and out of your life, money flows in and out of our lives. Ironically, the more you give, the more you receive. It's green because it's growing and it even says on it (the real stuff) "In God We Trust". Money brings more than heartache, problems, and greed. It provides goods and services for all the things we enjoy and use everyday, not just the necessities. Think of the money flowing to your life, and when you receive money, even if it is expected, BE THANKFUL!

Q: What is the point of all this? What if it doesn't work?

A: The point is to open your mind to possibilities and opportunities, and to change the collective mindset from being negative and in a paycheck to paycheck mentality to a prosperity mentality. If it does nothing more than give you 68 seconds of relief each day, or put a smile on your face, that's better than you've had before, isn't it?

Q: Are you looking for money or is there some fee to be a part of this?

A: I'm not looking to get paid for doing this, and there is no fee to participate. I'm looking to expand this beyond 50 people by getting more million dollar bills. If you want one, it will only cost you two (2) postage stamps: Send me a SASE (Self-Addressed Stamped Envelope) to my mailing address:

CRAWFORD WRITING & MARKETING
PROSPERITY EXPERIMENT
P.O.BOX 76
ZIMMERMAN, MN 55398

I have a few of the original million dollar bills available, so hurry if you want one!

Q: This money is FAKE! How is the REAL thing supposed to show up if I am looking at a FAKE?

A: Yes, the money is FAKE. Please do not try to use it as real money, or you will end up in a lot of trouble with the police!

However, actors and athletes used props to try and manifest the real successes they achieved in their own lives. For example: Jim Carrey, the funny actor who starred in "In Living Color" and later in movies, was so broke at one time in his life, his family was living in a van! He decided he wanted to be a successful actor, so he wrote out a check to himself for "Acting Services Rendered" in the amount of seven million dollars ($7 million dollars) to be paid in five (5) years. He carried it in his wallet, and everytime he hit a snag or felt down or thought things were not going right, he would look at that check and imagine what it would be like to cash it for REAL! Look at his career!!

Other actors practice their Oscar speeches with a shampoo bottle as the Oscar or the hairbrush and a lot of them have revealed this in their REAL LIFE SPEECHES!!! Olympic athletes will hang a "gold medal" around their neck and imagine them standing on the winner's platform with the National Anthem playing in the background.

The mind is a powerful tool! Don't underestimate it!

THE WRITING CONTEST AND THE THANK YOU CARD DRIVE

Q: Is this contest for real? I haven't seen anything in the papers about it, so I think you're just taking our money and that there really aren't any prizes.

A: The contest is REAL! As for it being in the newspapers, news releases are going out and if the papers decide to publish the news about my contest, then great! If not, I am going through other media channels to promote it.

Oh, and I have the money up front to award the prizes. If I didn't, I wouldn't have started the contest.

Q: Do I have to buy a thank you card? Can't I just donate some money?

A: No, you don't have to buy a card. If you look in my previous posts, there is a button where you can donate directly through PayPal to this cause. Or you can go to Operation Minnesota Nice and make a donation to them directly.

Well, I hope that answers your questions. If you have anymore, please don't hesitate to contact me. Good luck and thanks for your input!
