What is your true vision for your business/project?


It’s so important to have a true vision, and last night on a teleclass, I got back in touch with mine again.

I want Rich Thinking to be something that hundreds of thousands of people all over the world do, as a matter of course. Rich Thinking being the attitude that you bring to whatever you are doing. At the moment, I focus mostly on people who have businesses or are responsible for a project, but ultimately the principles of rich thinking apply to everyone, everywhere.

Some people naturally think rich, more than others. Some of us have to learn it, put it into practice and get better at it as time goes on. In fact, most people are like that. It’s no difference from learning a (more...)

Valuing what you’ve done and who you’ve become


How to find a niche that you can operate in that is solely your own is a challenge that many self-employed people find a bit daunting, and it’s one of the things I address on my coaching circles.

Yesterday I got an email from one of the current participants, saying that as a result of a comment another participant had made, she was exploring a particular area that she had skills in. The really important thing in this conversation was that she said ‘I’ve always just taken my circus skills for granted’. But since this comment was made, she’d been wondering how she could combine her past with her present talents in such a way that people might be interested.

This is one of the skills (more...)

How your prices tell the world who you are


I have just finished recording a great webinar with Siobhan Guthrie of ClientAttractingSecrets.com, who interviewed me on this very topic. I met Siobhan at a marketing conference way back in May, and we agreed then to support each other in our businesses, as her market is very similar to mine, in that she is has a kinesiology school in Ireland, as well as her CAS business.

She’s running an excellent webinar series entitled the 6 STEPPs Masterclasses to overcoming confusion, overwhelm, lack of clarity or confidence in attracting more clients to your holistic practice. Here’s the content of the classes — as you can see it starts very soon, so if you think you’re interested, sign up right away at http://www.1shoppingcart.com/app/?af=1047910

Clogged in-box, clogged energy…


This is how I started off the September issue of RichThinking Times yesterday, which you can receive by subscribing at my website. I’m repeating it here because of the response I had, which was from people who had nothing in their inboxes, to those with overflowing inboxes, and then 800 in their junk mail!

Someone told me recently he had 553 emails in his email box. And then for some reason that week I kept hearing about the huge numbers of emails people have in their in boxes — 339, 743, even over 800! I was amazed, and that led to a conversation about energy blocks. Think about it — if your desk had over 800 pieces of paper on it, there wouldn’t be much room for anything else — and that’s what it’s like if you have more than a (more...)

Systems and getting things done


On last week’s coaching circle, we were talking about systems, what they are, what they look like, how to put them into place, and the importance of having them in your business for it to run smoothly and easily. I invited everyone to think of one step they could take during the week towards improving their existing systems, or setting a new system up. I joined in too, and then emailed everyone letting them know what it was I was going to do.

What that task was was using the PlaceMat process every day to prioritise my work. (See article at www.richthinkers.co.uk for info about this).

So this morning, Saturday, not when I would usually work, but I thought I’m going to do this process as there (more...)
