Trademark!


posted in Jane's Blog

I’m delighted to announce that the RichThinkers name and logo have just received their trademark approval — we are all celebrating here!

My husband and business partner Philip took on this job some months ago, so my experience of it has been that it was very easy (!). If you want to trademark your name, or some of your products, and don’t know where to start, then contact me and I will ask him to put together a simple step by step format on what to do.

How Paying Yourself First Enhances Your Business


posted in Articles, Jane's Blog

Once upon a time many years ago, there was a young woman who lived and worked in north London. A talented individual in many areas, she worked in a company she loved, amongst very many friends, but the job she was doing was challenging to say the least.

She had recently transferred from company secretarial work into the finance department where she was responsible for the income and expenditure of the business, and which was well up into the hundreds of thousands.

Being the diligent soul she was, she began her new job researching files, following up calls and contacts, and generally opening doors that hadn’t been opened for very long. Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on your view) the result [read more]

How not to promote your course


posted in Jane's Blog

Oh dear. Waking up this morning I realised that I had scheduled my new RichThinking Way course to start in the middle of the week just after a bank holiday. I don’t recommend this!

In Scotland, the last Monday in August is not a Bank Holiday, and anyway even if it had been I probably wouldn’t have noticed as I tend to ignore holidays of this kind. But I do know that the rest of the UK is different from me!

Anyway, I have been reminding people about the early bird deadline (yesterday), and here’s another tip — don’t make your early bird deadline on a Friday; and especially don’t make it on the Friday of a Bank Holiday weekend! [read more]

Even though the free teleclasses I have been doing to let you into a taste of the RichThinking Way have ended, you can still listen to a sample class from a previous course if you would like to.

a) listen to the sample class here

b) contact me for a free half hour strategy session to discover whether this course really is the right step for you now

c) feel so inspired you just have to book right away!!! (do that here) NB: Early Bird price ends Friday 27th [read more]

The ‘What Colour is Your Parachute?’ Prioritising process


posted in Business Basics, Jane's Blog

Last night I was sitting with my husband down at Findhorn Bay (lovely evening, still water, yachts bobbing gently). We were talking about what other things to do to promote The RichThinking Way which starts next Wednesday 1st September (early bird price ends today at midnight by the way!).

Well, there’s a lot we could do, and will do. But the most interesting and useful part of our discussion was how we arrived at prioritising the list. If you’ve never done this before, then I highly recommend this particular method, which very clearly identifies your priorities. (I introduce you to lots of other methods on the RichThinking Way).

Basically, you compare one item against another. I first came across this [read more]
