Hello

Here’s this week’s collection of articles from around the traps. We pick articles which we think will help you make a healthy income, work a little more productively or just inspire you to ‘get on with it’! Enjoy x.

1. Have you ever done a vision board? I have with mixed success. I think that’s why I liked this article. This vision board is not about pictures of houses and clothes but stuff that really matters. The article’s quite long article but you can skim it quickly, then if it’s for you you can go back and do it as it tells you the whole how-to.

2. Talking of a different perspective, here’s an unusual way for a cafe to charge its customers. I like articles like this. Not to copy what the business is doing but because it gets me thinking ‘Is there a different way I could charge for what I’m doing?”. Does it you too?!

3. “Simplify” is a bit of a mantra of mine at the moment and it seems to be working. One of the big ways I’ve been simplifying is by having a stop doing list.  Here’s Tim “The Four Hour Work Week” Ferris’s list of things he’s stopped doing. Do you have a ‘stop doing’ list?

4. How creative are you feeling? If the answer is ‘not very’ take a look at this fabulous article. Number 1 is my favourite.

5. And here are some completely different ways to get more creative. These are great things to do if you feel stuck. My other favourite is to go for a walk. It always works for me!
