Knowing your business


posted in Business Basics, Heart of RichThinking

Mmm. Nothing like a marketing conference to make you realise you have to be really clear about the message you want to put across…

I learnt some great things on this conference, was in a high state of excitement for 3 days and then crash — down I came the morning after it finished. Why? Because a little question infiltrated itself into my mind ‘What if it doesn’t work?’.

That little comment from my critical part inside then was with me for a while that morning, until I realised it’s value, which is to make me be really clear about what I want RichThinkers to be offering. This is a work in progress, by the way, so watch out for more news in this.

So the moral of this little (more...)

Radiance Requires Retreat


posted in Articles

When you are around someone whom you describe as radiant, you’re basking in their apparent light. You are in the presence of someone who is ‘beaming with hope or joy or love’ (Concise Oxford Dictionary). It is often very nourishing, and you may find yourself wanting to rub up against that person, perhaps hoping some of their radiance will spill over onto you. So how do you become radiant yourself, and what effect does it have on your business?

Radiance – I’ve defined it above, although another meaning in this context is ‘emitting rays of light’. And that is what someone who is being radiant appears to be doing, shining light everywhere they go. When light is shone, areas of darkness are shown to us. So anything (more...)

Marketing Magic

It’s the end of the second day at the marketing conference I’m attending in Belfast, and wow! am I having a good time!

It’s 9.30pm on Friday evening, and I could be out with the new friends I’ve made, socialising, networking, but instead here I am all fired up about blogging and the new product idea that just came to me in the lobby of the Hilton, half an hour ago. I just couldn’t join the others, I had to come back to my computer and put some thoughts down on paper! Sad or what! But watch this space as I get clear about the next steps I’m taking in developing RichThinkers; it’s going to be exciting!

Tip: if you go to conferences, seminars of any kind, take (more...)

Abundance in nature


posted in Jane's Blog

I was walking through the Botanic Gardens in Belfast, turning a corner in the herbaceous border, and suddenly there before me was a spectacular rhododendron bush!

Honestly, it was so amazingly abundant that I was drawn to go closer to it, just as if I were a bee and could sense it’s scent! Often with rhododendrons the bushes are lush, but you can see lots of green leaves too. This one was incredible — so many luscious white blosssoms, falling over themselves to be seen, heavenly!

I thought ‘This is true abundance; I’m drawn to it simply because it’s so beautiful.’ That’s how the law of attraction works — when you see something or someone being abundant, and expressing the energy of that from a genuine place, then you can’t help (more...)

Enjoying a marketing conference


posted in Business Basics, Jane's Blog

I’m currently in Belfast attending a marketing seminar of Bernadette Doyle, entitled ‘More Leads, More Clients, More Sales’. She had put out a survey to her list wanting to know what people wanted more of, and this seminar is the result.

My parents live in Belfast so that was another reason to want to be here. Everything starts tomorrow and so I’m getting ready right now, to be inspired, fulfilled and meet lots of new and interesting contacts. I’ve been working on my ‘elevator speech’, ready for it to pop out of my mouth when someone asks me ‘what do you do?’.

An elevator speech is a few sentences that you would say to someone in an elevator when you only have a few moments to (more...)
