It’s your\u00a0‘Teaching Children About Money’\u00a0Coach – Amanda van der Gulik here.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I have some exciting PERSONAL news – and I am just a bit nervous <\/span><\/span><\/span>about sharing it….<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/span>You see, even though I am very “out there” with my public personality as the <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

‘Teaching Children About Money’\u00a0Coach , well… I am usually reluctant about <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

sharing too much of my private life. Which is why I am a bit nervous…<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

But I am just bursting with this news – so I decided it’s time to come out and <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

share this with you:<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

After six years of trying to teach my daughter about money, my daughter <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Xanthe has started her very first face painting business!<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I am absolutely beside myself with excitement – for lots of reasons…<\/span><\/p>\n

But let me tell you one of them – isn’t it funny how so many times everyone in <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

the world will listen to you except your own kids? I mean, I bet Lance <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Armstrong is having a hard time teaching his kids to ride a two-wheeler!<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In any case, even though I’ve helped thousands of parents with teaching their <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

children about money… sometimes I thought my advice was falling on deaf <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

ears with my kids. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\nBut Xanthe took those lessons to heart, and she made her passion for face <\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

painting blossom…<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And now she’s ready to take it to the world!<\/span><\/p>\n

So now I have a simple favor to ask of you… it won’t cost you a cent, just a <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

minute or two of your time. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Xanthe is only six years old and has just started learning how to read and I am <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

making her a special easy-to-read book to help keep her motivated on her <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

way to her face painting success and I would love to make it really special <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

– and you can help me do that if you can just spare a few seconds…<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

You see, I want to surprise Xanthe with well wishes from my <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

TeachingChildrenAboutMoney.com readers. Can you send her your young <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

entrepreneur wishes (or advice) as she gets set to take her face painting <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

business to the world?<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Just\u00a0type in a simple message to <\/span><\/span><\/span>Xanthe below this post, and then press the <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

“post” button.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I am hoping to get hundreds (or even thousands) of responses… then I will <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

put them all together for Xanthe. Can you think of a more beautiful gift than <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

hundreds of well-wishes from TeachingChildrenAboutMoney.com readers <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

from all over the world? (you can even send your special note in your own<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

language and then just put in an english translation in brackets beside it, she’d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

love that!) ;o)<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Just\u00a0post me your wishes to <\/span><\/span><\/span>Xanthe… I will take care of the rest.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Here’s to young entrepreneurs blossoming all over the world!<\/span><\/p>\n

Cheers…Amanda…Excited Life Enthusiast!<\/span><\/p>\n

P.S. Thanks for taking the time to read this to the end. I don’t usually share <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

this kind of personal stuff in my newsletter… and I certainly have never <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

asked for anything like this before! But I decided to really go out on a limb
