JST 151 – How To Grow Your Coaching Practice Exponentially

Posted on November 29, 2016 by Eugenia Zelaya

“Our intuition about the future is linear. But the reality of information technology is exponential, and that makes a profound difference. If I take 30 steps linearly, I get to 30. If I take 30 steps exponentially, I get to a billion.”

Ray Kurzweil

TTE72 – Time-saving, street-fighting and 5-star reviews

Posted on November 24, 2016 by Eugenia Zelaya

Here goes! Nothing enthuses like enthusiasm. 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 listen to lots of interview-based podcasts, and one of my favourites is Recode Media with Peter Kafka. On a recent episode, he was interviewing music industry insider, Bob Lefsetz, author of the Lefsetz Letter, and I heard Lefsetz say something that struck me at a deep level. Here it is:

“Do not buy the famous books of people for advice. They are completely different people from you.
The only way you can make it is if you dig down deep and find out what’s special about you, and go have a lot of losses.
There’s one alternative: which is you can become a computer engineer or you can go to an Ivy League School and
work for a bank and you can make money. Other than that, all bets are off.
When people are telling you what to do, do not listen to them.” Read More →

JST 150 – Having The Courage to Ask for What You Want

Posted on November 22, 2016 by Eugenia Zelaya

“If you wish to understand control, think of a little child that is given a taste for drugs.
As the drugs penetrate the body of the child, it becomes addicted; its whole being cries out for the drug.
To be without the drug is so unbearable a torment that it seems preferable to die. Think of that image –
the body has gotten addicted to the drug. Now this is exactly what your society did to you when you were born.
You were not allowed to enjoy the solid, nutritious food of life namely, work, play, fun, laughter,
the company of people, the pleasures of the senses and the mind.
You were given a taste for the drug called approval, appreciation, attention.”
Anthony de Mello

“How would your world start to change if you were willing to ask for what you want?” It turns out that if you’re willing to ask for what you want, new possibilities emerge, and you may be surprised at how often you get what you’ve asked for. You may discover that it’s easier to get what you want than you may ever have suspected. In this article, we’re going to explore the power of asking for what you want. Read More →

This week is an enthusiasm avalanche! Let me know what you think via twitter at @jamiesmartcom, on my Facebook page here, or in the comments below.

1. A quotation I’m appreciating this week
Yesterday, I happened to notice my twitter feed had a message from UK drum and bass pioneer, DJ Krust. He’d been re-reading clarity and described the impact in a way I absolutely love. It’s how I felt this morning too. Here’s what he said:

“Second time around and I feel some what empty and whole!!” Read More →

Welcome to part 8 in the series of articles on the 10 professional practice multipliers from the Exponential Practice Scorecard https://www.jamiesmart.com/scorecard/. Each week I’ll be explaining them and looking at how you can leverage them to grow your practice, and here’s the thing: Whether you’re a transformation professional or not, you’re going to discover that these 10 multipliers apply to almost everyone (at least, with a little creativity). This week, we’ll be looking at Multiplier Number Eight: Tribal Engagement

NB The next three weeks’ professional practice multipliers are focused around what I call leverage: your commercial transformation. This is important because most of us have been educated for a world of jobs and employment. We haven’t necessarily learnt the key elements you need if you want to run your own practice and work for yourself. If impact is about what people pay you for, leverage is about how you get paid, how you get scale and how you multiply your impact in a variety of ways. Read More →

1. A quotation I’m appreciating this week
I did a Facebook Live broadcast in the Exponential Practice Professional Group last night looking at the whole domain of beliefs / grounding around money, wealth and abundance. I shared this quote from Lynne Twist. Lynne worked as Chief Fundraising Officer for The Hunger Project, and raised over 200 million dollars in the process. She’s spent time with some of the wealthiest people on the planet, and some of the poorest. Here’s what she said:

“When you let go of trying to get more of what you don’t really need, it frees up oceans of energy to make a difference with what you have.
When you make a difference with what you have, it expands.” Read More →
