Coaching Circles


also posted in Business Basics

Wow! I’ve just started two experimental coaching circles, and I’m loving it!

I’d forgotten how good it is to work with groups of people, and once I’d learnt the etiquette of managing groups on the phone, it works fine! At least I think so -

I’ll be asking the participants for feedback towards the end of our course (4 weeks). I do love being able to respond to people’s individual situations within the context of a topic. We started off with the importance of finding a niche for your self, and this week moved on to pricing of products and services. And all the time, sitting there in the background (of course!) is the question of attitudes and beliefs, and how they infect or inspire, depending on what (more...)

How to make lots of money fast?


also posted in Business Basics

You know, there are loads of sites out there promising to make you more money in a short period of time. You know the thing — they have headlines like:

“How to Make £100,000 in the next 6 months”

or

“Transform your business into a 6-figure powerhouse with my new method”

I’ve investigated a lot of these sites; some I’ve signed up for, others not. I have learnt a huge amount in the process, (one idea I got formed the basis of my study manual, How To Be A RichThinker: essential inner tools of success) and I don’t doubt that the people serving these sites are genuine. And that there are probably some others out there (as in the testimonials) who have copied their method and done well too.

But that’s not (more...)

There’s no such thing as failure, only…

I was reading Peter Jones’ book ‘Tycoon” recently, and although I’m not at all sure I want to be a tycoon, lots of it is very useful. Here’s one sentence that I really agreed with:

“I really believe that there are no failures in this world, only events that give you feedback”.

This is definitely rich thinking — and he’s right. I’ve just had what might be called a failure — lost someone’s telephone number who was supposed to be having a session with me right now. Well, how do I react to that? Beat myself up, criticise myself for not being perfect, or more organised? Yes, I admit, I have a tendency towards that kind of thinking. But I also have an uncanny ability to notice when I’m (more...)

Being entrepreneurial

Well here I am sitting on my balcony looking out over the stunning turquoise Mediterranean sea. Yes, I’m trying out working from a hot country! Well, relatively hot – we’re on the south coast of Spain, and although there’s a cool wind, when you’re in the sun it’s hot! Very different from a cold winter in the North of Scotland. So a holiday-cum-working. Only been here one day, and I promised myself I’d do nothing today, but in a conversation I’ve just had with Philip, my husband, I just had to blog about it.

‘You know that meeting we had with Collin before we left?’ I said.

‘There were two things in it that really stood out for me’.

“What were they then?’ asked Philip.

‘Well, firstly I was inspired by the story (more...)

How to give acceptable criticism


also posted in Inspirational Quotes, Jane's Blog

I was sitting in a cafe in Belfast, Northern Ireland, this morning, with my Mum, reading the quotes painted on the wall in front of me while she paid for our coffees.

One of them stood out:

‘Sandwich every bit of criticism between two layers of praise’.

This reminds me of the advice given in our Toastmaster meeting (Toastmasters is the international organisation for those wishing to improve their public speaking and leadership skills). There they say ‘Commend, recommend, commend’. It’s the same thing, and with the practice I’ve been having in Toastmaster, it now comes easily.

And it’s a RichThinking way of doing it too. It’s much easier for people to hear some critical feedback if it is surrounded by pointing out what is great. It’s much easier for ME (more...)
