Heart of RichThinking

Posts with the emphasis on the inner world of thinking rich

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 classes and the poor! For instance, people who think rich in (more...)

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


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 with other people who think similarly – it helps (more...)

Middle of the night worries and what to do about them


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 takes you to the only (more...)

Credit Crunch and 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. He has (more...)

The secret behind positive thinking


Using positive affirmations is a fundamental in the world of personal development, and increasingly in the business world. In fact, thinking and imagining positively has been around for a long time, particularly in the sports world where it has been normal for many years for athletes and others to visualise and imagine themselves in the winning position.

However, I’ve come across many, many people somewhat disgruntled with positive thinking, because they say it doesn’t work. They’ve tried affirming for what they want, and it seems so patently ridiculous that they give up. Mistake. Because it’s that very thing that holds the secret to the success of the positive thought.

Imagine yourself saying a statement such as:

My income is constantly increasing

And then listen to what you think in response to that. If (more...)
