If it’s awesome, there’s a good chance I’m enthusiastic about it. As ever, let me know what you think via twitter at @jamiesmartcom, on my Facebook page here, or in the comments section.
1. A quotation I’m appreciating this week
This one comes from Cus D’Amato, the guy who trained boxers like Floyd Patterson, José Torres, Vinnie Ferguson, and Mike Tyson.
“The hero and the coward both feel the same thing, but the hero uses his fear, projects it onto his opponent, while the coward runs. It’s the same thing, fear, but it’s what you do with it that matters.”
2. A wonderful little video
Alan Watts explains why your life is NOT a journey, and why it’s more like music. Music is essentially playful, and so is life. Let him explain why: www.youtube.com/watch?v=qHnIJeE3LAI
3. A contest I’m pumped about
My new podcast is getting a lot of interest, so I’ve decided to double-down and run a competition. Two lucky subscribers are going to get a free 75-minute Professional Practice Breakthrough session. You can enter for your chance to win here: https://www.jamiesmart.com/expo-giveaway/
4. My interview with the wonderful Cathy Simmons
Cathy Simmons is a successful therapist who’s passionate about showing other therapists how to create a flourishing business doing what they love without compromising their values, and to fall in love with their therapy business. And one of the interesting things about Cathy is she’s spent many years helping city professionals to free themselves from addictions. I interviewed her for this week’s episode of Your Exponential Practice Podcast www.jamiesmart.com/itunes
5. This week’s 3 minute miracle
I love the work of neo-classical composer, Ludovico Einaudi. A dear friend of mine introduced me to his work 15 years ago and I’ve loved it ever since. The first album I heard was I Giorni, and one of my favourite pieces from it is La Nascita Delle Cose Segrete www.youtube.com/watch?v=eqeum3yS_uU It’s one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever heard. Enjoy!
One last thing: Just over three years ago, I launched the first ever Certified Clarity Coach Training Programme. We’ve just completed the 3rd year, and we’re building a close-knit community of highly-skilled, Certified Clarity Coaches and Practitioners. As well as the students who join us live in-person, we’ve got people training with us from all around the world (from as far afield as Brazil and Australia) via our state-of-the-art virtual technology. So I’m happy to announce the 2016 / 2017 programme, and we’ve made some changes. The programme is by application only, and the selection criteria is strict. We’ve opened the door for applications, and we’ve put a strict limit on numbers (the first 45 people have already booked their places) – so register your interest now to make sure your hat is in the ring. Flexible payment plans are available, and we start in just over a week!

Big love
Jamie
