It’s Thursday, and I’m heading off to Essex today to do something I’m very enthusiastic about – more details below. Please let me know what you think via twitter at @jamiesmartcom, on my Facebook page here, or in the comment section. At the end, I’ll tell you how you can get one of your #enthusiasms featured in a future edition.
Last month I shared the principles behind clarity with the wonderful audience at the Lifestyle Design Convention in Zurich. After he heard me speak, a new friend Charlie Rüffieux asked if he could interview me about these principles. While we were recording, Charlie heard something in what I said that reminded him of Viktor Frankl (founder of logotherapy) and his idea that “you can always change your attitude” (as Charlie put it). I proceeded to give him an alternative perspective on Viktor Frankl’s story, pointing to the true source of new attitudes, perspectives and choice. You’ll hear Charlie’s question and my response at 7:52 on the video.
It’s Thursday, I must be in London. As usual, I’m enthusing. Please let me know what you think via twitter at @jamiesmartcom, on my Facebook page here, or in the comment section. At the end, I’ll tell you how you can get one of your #enthusiasms featured in a future edition.

Hey gang, work on the book is still ongoing… I’m planning to get back on track with new articles from the beginning of March. In the meantime, it’s another of the golden oldies from the Clarity archives. Have a read and let me know what you think.

“Thought is constantly creating problems that way and then trying to solve them. But as it tries to solve them it makes it worse because it doesn’t notice that it's creating them, and the more it thinks, the more problems it creates.”
– David Bohm, Physicist
Impending publisher deadlines on the new book mean that it’s another JST re-run for you this week. I was reflecting over the weekend on what I wanted to share with you… and realised that even if I had been writing a new one, it’d probably have been something pretty much like this one anyway 🙂 Have a read and let me know what you think.

This week I’m combining ongoing work on the book with a speaking engagement in the US, so we’ll be continuing to re-run some of the most popular previous issues of the newsletter. I’d love to hear what you make of this one. Please visit my Facebook page to join the conversation. I look forward to connecting with you again once I am back in the UK next week!
So you want to “get the principles out there”, and make your living sharing the principles behind clarity? I understand! Over the past six years, I’ve discovered (often the hard way) what it takes to share these principles professionally and make your living from the inside-out, transforming people’s lives. Over the next few articles, I’m going to be sharing the keys to creating a principles-based practice, whether as a coach, trainer, consultant, facilitator or “other” (experience shows that this work transcends the traditional “job-roles” and titles we’re used to, so whether you resonate with these titles or not, you can relax). So without further ado, here’s the first key to building a profitable, principles-based practice (in fact, you may find these apply to creating any kind of coaching, training, consulting or therapeutic practice)…
