1. A quote I’m resonating with this week
This is one of my favourite quotes of all time. It’s by Rumi, the Sufi poet, and it’s one of the quotes I’ve posted on my instagram account. You can follow me there and get daily quotes at @jamiesmartcom (www.Instagram.com/jamiesmartcom)
“Forget safety. Live where you fear to live. Destroy your reputation. Be notorious.”
2. A great documentary about an extraordinary performer
I’m watching the heart-wrenching documentary ‘Little Girl Blue’ about Janis Joplin, blues singer extraordinaire. Excellent: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-oRLyBgz8W0
3. This week’s glimpse of the future
Dubai have just appointed a state minister for artificial intelligence. Hang on to your hat! https://futurism.com/dubai-just-appointed-a-state-minister-for-artificial-intelligence/amp/
4. Something that’s getting a very positive response
Most coaches & therapists tie themselves in knots trying figure out the right ‘niche’, but it’s almost always the wrong place to put your attention. I’ve made a quick, 5-point checklist covering the only 5 things you need to get clients and grow a thriving practice, and the final one reveals why you DON’T need to ‘find a niche’. It’s already been downloaded by more than 500 people this week alone, so you can grab your copy here: https://www.jamiesmart.com/TCB
When you download your checklist, you’ll also get my free, 4-part ‘Thriving Coaches Blueprint’ video mini-course when I release it soon. Grab your checklist right away as we’re only making it available for the next week or two.
5. This week’s 3 minute miracle
I still remember the day I popped a friend’s old cassette tape into a car stereo in the late 1980s and heard this beauty. Bob Dylan shows exactly why he’s the daddy with ‘Shelter From The Storm’. Magnificent. https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=2&v=12rUOLtbQDk
That’s it for this week!
Big love
Jamie

If you want to transition from full-time employment to something more fulfilling and on-purpose for you, you may be a good fit for the next intake of Project Jupiter (starting January 2018). Here’s how you’ll know if you’re right for Jupiter (and vice-versa):
– You are currently in full-time employment, but…
– You want to transition from your job to something more fulfilling and “on-purpose”
– You sense that it’ll probably take 1-3 years to complete the transition, but…
– Your goal hasn’t been getting much closer; it seems to stay the same distance away
– You want to make progress, but lack clarity about either the ‘what’ or the ‘how’
– You know that if you were clear on those, with a solid plan, you’d do what it takes to make it happen
– You’ve been thinking about it for long enough, and you’re ready to do something about it NOW
