Here I let you into the workings of my mind as I go about my days, and how the spirit of rich thinking occurs in my life, and can therefore occur in yours too. All comments very welcome, as I learn and grow from everyone!

How Modesty Can Be a Plus in Your Business


also posted in Articles, Jane's Blog

“Are you awake?” I heard my husband say quietly. It was 4am.

“Yes,” I replied. “Are you worrying?”

“Yes.”

“Let’s throw the I Ching then,” I said. This is the ancient and highly respected Chinese method of divination, one of my middle of the night survival tools, which never fails to calm me down if I am worrying, no matter what about. This time, the hexagram received was number 15, Modesty, and although I hadn’t consulted it with business in mind, later that day I began to reflect on the presence (or not) of modesty in business.

What is modesty, and can there be a place for it at all in business? TheFreeDictionary.com defines it as “having or showing [read more]

Can Business and Love Go Together?


also posted in Articles, Jane's Blog

Love is the theme this week, it seems. When I looked at my emails this morning, the Angel of the Day was Love. Some very old friends of ours are coming to visit from America for a few days. Another friend who has been giving Philip EFT offered to put off her holiday and continue giving sessions. My brother Simon has announced the launch of his new online Loving Life programme, free for the month of October. How much love there is!

But can you run a business with love? Can those two words even go together? In fact, this is not a new idea. Reading Chocolate Wars recently by Deborah Cadbury, I was struck by the heartfelt [read more]

How do you reward your best customers?


also posted in Articles, Jane's Blog

Recently I was spending time with my parents at their home in France. One night my Mum said,

‘Let’s go to the restaurant tonight; I’ve got just two stamps to put on my card, and as there’s three of us, we’ll get one of the meals free!’ she sounded really delighted and pleased with herself. And so we booked in to the only restaurant in the village, a convenient few hundred yards walk from their house.

Earlier that day I had been reading in Onward: How Starbucks Fought for It’s Life Without Losing It’s Soul about their new reward system for their best customers. They already had developed a rewards system, where you received a free coffee for every ten [read more]

A True Story of Money Flow


also posted in Articles, Jane's Blog

This week’s article is a true story told me by a friend when he heard about the fun you can have with a £50 note (see last week’s article).

“My wife and I had been on a rare trip to Plymouth to do some shopping and pick up some cash owed to me by a charity I work for. This meant that, unusually, I had a £50 note in my pocket. On the way back home we stopped at a busy farm shop/café for a cup of tea. Standing at the counter, we turned around with our tray of tea and cake, to see a very crowded sight before us. There was nothing for it but to share a table [read more]

How to Have Fun with Money in 3 Easy Steps


also posted in Articles, Jane's Blog

There’s an awful lot of £50 notes lying around your house!’ exclaimed a friend of mine at my birthday party. I grinned.

‘Yes – have you looked at them closely though?’

She picked one up ‘It’s a table napkin!’ she shouted, and dissolved into laughter. “I’d been thinking ‘Jane’s being very rash, leaving all this money lying around’ and all the time it was just a table napkin!”

Those £50 notes (and £20’s and £10’s) are actually paper napkins that I was given by a dear friend. It was she who suggested leaving them lying around the house, and consequently every time I see a note out of the corner of my eye, I see wealth, abundance, riches [read more]
