Rich and Happy Comes In All Sizes

Live is spooky isn’t it? Not long after writing the post entitled ‘Never, never, never give up’ I was sent a link by a friend to a talk on TED. I’m not sure how many links I get sent per week, but it’s a lot and I probably only ever get round to watching about half of them.

Speakers at TED are only allowed to talk for a maximum of 20 minutes and as such all the talks there are punchy and to the point. They are also almost always brilliant as TED only invites the most engaging and interesting speakers. People that have valuable stories, information and insights to share and people that are more often than not living the Rich and Happy life.

Dream Big Or Go Home

Part of the Rich and Happy formula involves ignoring most people. By that we don’t mean ignoring well intentioned and useful advice that can help you on your way to becoming Rich and Happy. After all, as we say in the book, we want you to ask for help and there’s precious little sense in doing that if you then ignore it.

I’m talking mainly about the kind of advice people can’t wait to offer when you’re telling them about your hopes and dreams. You know the type of person I mean,  the ones who are bursting with excitement to offer their feedback as you regale them with your life’s aspirations.

New Years Resolutions That Stick

Champagne PourAs you prepare to wave goodbye to yet another year, a decade even (can you believe it’s almost a ten years since we ushered Y2K in?)  and greet 2010 with a sense of optimism and excitement on your journey to becoming Rich and Happy, I’m trusting you’ve got a goal or two up your sleeve for the New Year.

It may or may not be a New Years resolution per se. In fact, it may not even be written down, but I bet there’s something specific you’d like to achieve or change in the new year, right?
