This is a great idea I came across just recently. To make your business thrive, there will be certain things you know you need to do, and only you will know what they are. Sometimes it can be difficult getting clear about them — but this method will help you.

List ten things you can do that will interfere with the success of your business.

That’s all. Yes, read it again — that will interfere with the success of your business. By focusing on the opposite of your business thriving, you’ll give yourself the very things you need to do to keep it thriving. Each time you specify something that isn’t working, you have the opportunity to turn it around [read more]

Have you noticed that there’s a lot less time around these days?

Daft, isn’t it, even that very notion! But that is what it sometimes seems like, when I’ve noticed that I like to know in advance how long a YouTube video is going to be before I start watching. Or with an article, I scroll to see how long it is before I start to read, or find out how many pages on the PDF file I’ve been sent.

You can turn this to your advantage if you’re sending out newsletters or information — let people know in advance how long your MP3 will take to listen to; write in the number of words of your article and how [read more]

For years I have been irritated at my husband’s desire to watch sport on TV for hours at a time. Because he has ME, which means he is sometimes quite incapacitated and has a lot of time on his hands, watching TV for him has become something that fills in hours of time. He has always said it is a good way for him to relax. And I have always been rather scathing, considering his time better spent. In fact, I knew I was right about this. I was 100% convinced that if only he would live his life my way, then he would get better.

Gosh. It’s humbling admitting this, let alone writing it! Anyway, this summer things came [read more]

Well I had planned to write at least 6 articles on the long train journey from Inverness to Glasgow last week. 3 hours of focused work. The two paragraphs below are what I actually wrote:

‘Well here I am apparently writing these articles – but I forgot how lovely the scenery is up here, ad how much I enjoy just looking out of the window. And I forgot that to do any amount of typing, I have to be sitting at the proper angle to my laptop (impossible in this particular train). And I forgot that there would be other people in the train.

An awful lot of forgetfulness! The result is less than 6 articles done – in fact [read more]

Welcome to the November issue of RichThinking Times (No 13) — and the last one! Yes, this is because I am revamping my entire
website and way of doing things, and one of the things that is changing is the RT Times. Instead of a monthly newsletter, you will receive a shorter weekly email entitled Spirit of RichThinking; it will still have lots of useful ideas for you, and articles — but it’ll
mean it will take you less time to read it, while allowing me to still stay in touch with you regularly.

I hope you like it, and any feedback or contributions are always welcome! Meanwhile, this month here’s what I have to offer you:
