About the “Master Your Money Mind” book
If you’re like me, “money” has been a code word for “stress” for as long as I can remember.
Over the years, building a 7-figure business from scratch, working tirelessly on my personal-development + mindset, and identifying the limiting beliefs around money and my own self-worth that were holding me back, I’ve come to understand that our money game is changed in our MINDS first and that our wallets come after.
I wrote the book, Master Your Money Mind, for those who have been called to make a bigger impact and the income to match. The passionate soul on a mission who is here for more but feels stuck and overwhelmed when thinking about how to create momentum and more abundance in their lives.
Master Your Money Mind is a game-changing guide to transforming your mindset and daily habits around how you think about yourself and money. Many will teach you about the power of the mind as it relates to money, but few will dive in to the daily habits, rituals and exercises that will transform the entirety of your life, not just your bank account balance!
Master Your Money Mind focuses on how to: use your words to attract more money, apply the MYMM equation to change your life + career, get crystal clear on what’s blocking your abundance and create a daily money mindfulness practice.
The story behind Amber’s book
Q: What inspired you to create this book?
A: I wrote this book for the former version of me who was always operating from a place of scarcity. I knew my audience was missing out on experiencing the full depth and breadth of the abundance that was trying to make its way to them, so I knew I had to write the book that could help them find their way out of that.
Q: What advice would you give for others creating products like these?
A: Share the message that’s in your heart and don’t worry about saying it “right” or in the way that others want you to. Also, carve out space in your days, every day that you can, to sit down and actively write. I know of so many amazing ‘would-be’ books that have never been written because there just wasn’t any time to write them. So make time!
Q: What do you love about your book?
A: It’s honest, it’s impactful and it helps my readers change their lives in a way they never dreamed was possible. I love that you can carry this book around anywhere you want with you and pull it out whenever you need it, and that you can read it again and again and pick something new out of it each time!

About the Passion Planner, Angel Oracle Cards, Inspirational Art Cards & Postcards
I have always loved art and crafts and have used art as a connector in programs for my 5000+ tribe of women called the CampExperience™ Network. Before August of 2017, I would consider myself a casual crafter with some bead jewelry, collage and some sewing. And then life changed forever.
In August of 2017 I participated in a week-long art retreat and immersed myself in learning some techniques. My basic skills became faces and mixed-media pieces. The art that was in my soul came forth! Soon I was diving in to mixed-media as a bliss-filled escape and creating “inspiration art” for fun!
It was the partnership with Vervante that really set my art free to serve the world! Their team helped me not only produce my original idea of a Daily Insight Card Deck featuring my 36 pieces, but also led me to creating a Daily Planner, greeting cards, postcards and hardcover journals. The response has been fantastic! My CampExperience™ Network tribe has been buying my inspiration art for family and friends, my images are perfect for my marketing, and with Vervante I am on Amazon! My parents are so proud!
The story behind Betsy’s products
Q: What inspired you to create these products?
A: I have been an event planner since high school and a public speaker, traveling to 20+ countries to uplift and educate my guests. In 2006 we began the CampExperience Network consisting of 5000+ women gathering for uplifting events and positive messages. In August of 2017 the message just came to my canvas and I wanted to add it to the mix for supporting people to live lives of passion and purpose.
Q: What advice would you give for others creating products like these?
A: I would say just CREATE and see what happens. I did not set out to create these products. I let art out of my soul and the products became a natural way to share it! Take a class and let one of the thousands of experts help you unlock your own inner talent. And have FUN every day!
Q: What do you love about these products?
A: I actually cannot believe what has come forth when I let go and enjoyed the journey of the art. Mixed media art is messy and you just let go of the outcome, add more texture and color and see what emerges. I just love to see my art and products in the world and hear the feedback of my customers who LOVE the Sisters and friends.

About “Wings: An Illustrated Celebration of Michigan Wolverine Helmets”
This year, 2018, marks the 80th anniversary of the Michigan winged helmet.
Every university has a logo, some probably more recognizable than the University of Michigan's block 'M.' Many universities have a mascot, many undoubtedly more well-known than Michigan's.
But the winged Michigan football helmet is undoubtedly the most recognizable in the game.
In a case of form following function, Michigan coach Fritz Crisler painted the padding and straps common on the leather helmets in 1938 to create the iconic design. His intent was to make his receivers more recognizable downfield.
Not only did he succeed, but he created an icon that transcends football, even 80 years later.
In an unusual — and perhaps unique — instance of accidental branding, of grass roots symbology, the wings-and-stripes design can be seen everywhere around Michigan's campus and athletic program.
How strange is it, but yet how compelling, that a design borne of a leather helmet's construction would spread to be seen in baseball, softball, hockey, field hockey, and lacrosse teams?
The entire history of the winged helmet is detailed in this coffee table book: “Wings: An Illustrated Celebration of Michigan Wolverine Helmets.” The 3rd edition of the book was just released and can be viewed HERE.
The book is co-authored by James Dack, an avid helmet collector and historian, and Christopher Dack, Michigan alum, writer, and photographer.
The story behind the product (as told by co-author Christopher Dack, pictured above)
Q: What inspired you to create this product?
A: My brother James (pictured at right) began collecting football helmets long before it become popular. He wanted to share his collection and knowledge with the broad and zealous University of Michigan fan base. As a Michigan alum, it was easy for me to get on board with that idea. Plus, I had wanted to create a coffee table book for a long time and realized this would be the perfect subject.
Q: What advice would you give for others creating a product like this?
A: It's tempting as a self-publishing author to care only about the content and downplay other aspects of the book as a product (trim size, typography, cover design, etc. to say nothing of marketing). But it’s all important. The best content in the world can still fall short of its potential if it’s delivered in an amateurish package. Finding design help is not that difficult or expensive if you can’t (or don’t want to) do it yourself. Learning marketing is tougher and quite daunting at first. But you don’t have to master it all right away. Just get started with the first step, then keep going.
Q: What do you love about this product?
A: What we love about this book is its potential as a gift. Although there are certainly rabid female football fans in the world, let's be honest: men make up the majority of the fan base. And men can be notoriously difficult to buy for during gift-giving seasons. We like to think that, instead of the usual ties, socks, coffee cups, and other dull gifts that guys often receive, this book would actually be fun for a Michigan fan to open at Christmas, Father's Day, birthdays, etc.
