In the lull before the New Year, I’m enthusiastic. Let me know what you think via twitter at @jamiesmartcom, on my Facebook page here, or in the comments below.
1. A quote I’m resonating with this week
I’m reading Bold by one of my heroes, Peter Diamandis. He points out that it’s never been easier to have an impact in the world,
“Today all of us can have an impact. The difference between having an impact and not having an impact is a decision.
It’s not resources, it’s not money. That’s all there. It’s a decision.”
2. One of my favourite podcasts
The wonderful podcast Reply All is made by Gimlet Media and is always entertaining, interesting and funny as hell. Here’s a great episode about a teenager who tried to make the world’s most boring Facebook group, then became the victim of his own creation. It’s called The Takeover – enjoy! https://gimletmedia.com/shows/reply-all/94hwmv
3. The future is now, pretty much every week!
Uber have now launched a fleet of driverless cars in San Francisco. If you Uber in SF, you may get one of these beauties. The world is changing unbelievably fast because of the impact of digital technology. Hold onto your hat! https://newsroom.uber.com/san-francisco-your-self-driving-uber-is-arriving-now/
4. A beautiful web-feed
You can watch the earth from space, real-time via the International Space Station live-stream. Truly breathtaking https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qzMQza8xZCc&feature=youtu.be
5. This week’s 3 minute miracle
I don’t know where or when I first heard the brilliantly-named Easy Access Orchestra, but their track “Glider Girl” is the epitome of cheesy-listening-goodness. Enjoy!

Thanks and big love,

PS The next instalment of Project Glasswing is due to kick off in the new year. If you’d like to be considered for the latest intake of this programme, I’m looking for 36 very specific people:
– You are a coach, therapist or change-worker (Eg. Sports coach, psychotherapist, hypnotherapist, business coach, bodyworker etc)
– You have at least one year’s experience of working with clients (either paid, pro-bono or both)
– You probably charge by the hour, but want to use a “coaching package” model and increase your income
– You have room to work with at least one longer term contract client, starting in February 2017
– You want to take your practice to the next level in 2017, and are willing to put step out of your comfort zone if necessary
– You’re an enthusiastic, friendly people-person
– You have a coachable spirit, and
– You can keep a secret
If that’s you, then email me at info@jamiesmart.com, and let me know where you’re located and a little about yourself (if you don’t know what to tell me about, look at the list above for inspiration). Change the subject line to “Project Glasswing TTE”. I’ll be choosing people in the next couple of weeks. Talk to you soon!
