Listening to RichThoughts audios


posted in Heart of RichThinking

Why listen to RichThoughts? For some people there is an instant resistance. Their mind comes up with an apparently good reason for not doing it and they dismiss the possibility. I have heard many different ways of expressing this, but a large part of it can be boiled down to, “The world has negativity in it and positive thinking ignores this and is therefore unrealistic”.

I partially agree with this statement. I, too, have seen people using positive thinking in unrealistic ways and sometimes using it to bury their heads in the sand. Yes, people ignore reality in all kinds of ways (it is called denial). However, dismissing positive thinking for this reason is to misunderstand it. It is a [read more]

We are what we think we are — so why not think rich?

Because automatically we think what we have been taught to think, what we’ve picked up during our childhood (remember how easy it is for a toddler to start swearing after hearing their parents do it?), and what we’ve got into the habit of thinking.

We then become people who are products of our upbringing and lfie experience to date, without actively choosing it on our part.

If you want to increase your levels of income, no matter where you start, your thinking around money and finances has to change from what you were programmed with. And by looking at what rich people already think, there’s a model to follow.

Yes, it’s true — rich people think differently from the middle [read more]

RichThinking – like an umbrella, it only works when the mind is open.


posted in Heart of RichThinking

By it’s very definition, Rich Thinking implies an open mind. You can’t be thinking rich with a closed mind; that’s doing poor thinking. So how do you open the umbrella and begin to think rich?

The first step is to notice what you’re already thinking. It can be about any topic, but let’s take money to start with. Let’s say you’re always saying you can’t afford something. That’s like insisting on keeping the umbrella closed. There’s no way you’ll be able to afford what you want if you keep saying you can’t. It just doesn’t work like that, because when the mind is closed, there’s no opportunity to have it be any other way. That’s why people often surround themselves [read more]

Middle of the night worries and what to do about them


posted in Heart of RichThinking

You wake up and it’s dark. Intuitively you know it’s some ungodly hour like 3.30am or something. You’re not supposed to be awake, you’re supposed to be sleeping, just like your partner who is out cold beside you. How irritating! Somewhere inside you groan, as your mind starts to whirr about your concerns. Now you’re really awake and going over and over in your mind the problem and imagining all sorts of worst case scenarios. How come it’s always in the middle of the night that you feel the worst? How come in the daytime, it all seems to be more manageable? Even that thought, that it’ll all be OK in the morning isn’t very consoling now, as your mind [read more]

Credit Crunch and RichThinking


posted in Heart of RichThinking

I’m normally vigilant in not reading newspapers, or at least the ‘bad news’ in newspapers; I never read or listen to the news on the TV or radio. This doesn’t mean I don’t know what’s going on in the world, I do — it’s easy to pick it up from other people just in comments made here and there. I just don’t need to know the details.

Anyway, the other day I received an email from the RichDad, PoorDad people, with an article by Robert Kiyosaki on the current state of the financial market. I read it because I assumed that it would be a relatively positive take on the situation, and what the ordinary person can do about it. [read more]
