Welcome to part 6 in the series of articles on the 7 steps to earning your living as a successful professional in any field. Over the past year I’ve been isolating the specific steps involved, and refining them. What’s resulted is a ‘roadmap’, and while the version of it I’ve created is aimed at coaches, therapists, trainers and consultants, with a little creativity, you’ll be able to see how these steps relate to anyone who wants to transition to doing work that involves you being a ‘trusted advisor’ to others (e.g. expert / speaker / professional services etc).

TTE 160 – WTF, 3D and the clap

Posted on August 23, 2018 by Jamie Smart

It’s enthusiasm time again. Let me know what you think via twitter at @JamieSmartCom, on my Facebook page, or on my blog below.

1. A quote I’m resonating with this week
As you may already know, I’ve been hugely impacted by the writings and recordings of Sydney Banks. Here’s a line from his book, The Missing Link that I’m reflecting on this week:

“To find that which you seek, discard all thought that there is a separation between the spiritual and the physical world.”

#010 – Dealing with difficult / challenging people – Thriving Coaches Podcast

Posted on August 22, 2018 by Jamie Smart

Released 22nd Aug 2018 Subscribe: Spotify | iTunes | Stitcher

In this episode you’re going to hear a group session I did in Amir Karkouti’s ‘What the F*#$ Are The Principles?’ group and it was not only a lot of fun (the session was called “Outsmart Jamie Smart”); it was also super-impactful for a lot of people, so I wanted to share it with you. Here’s what it was about: I asked people to think of the most difficult and challenging people to discuss your work with – especially clients – and then they came on the session LIVE and role-played those people and scenarios so I could demonstrate how I’d handle it.

TTE 159 – Impostor syndrome

1. A quote I’m resonating with this week
I love the song Forever Young by Bob Dylan. It’s this week’s 3 minute miracle, but the lyrics stand on their own as a beautiful reminder of what matters. Here’s a taste:

“May you grow up to be righteous. May you grow up to be true
May you always know the truth. And see the lights surrounding you
May you always be courageous. Stand upright and be strong
And may you stay. Forever young.”

#009 – Coaching Demo – Dealing with Impostor Syndrome, Self-doubt and Self-belief – Get Clarity Podcast

Posted on August 16, 2018 by Jamie Smart

Released 15th Aug 2018 Subscribe: Spotify | iTunes | Stitcher

This episode is a coaching session I did with a client who was struggling with so-called “impostor syndrome”, self-doubt and lack of self-belief. And these are such common issues for people that I thought it would be a really useful one to share with you. Emma Broome is an elite performance coach, with a background in elite performance herself as an aerial skier. But when she first reached out to me, she told me she was really struggling with impostor syndrome and self-doubt. And she was surprised when I said, “That’s a bit of a specialty of mine, so we’ll get that handled, probably during the first week of the programme.”

TTE 158 – Money beliefs, boldness and getting yer groove on

Posted on August 9, 2018 by Jamie Smart

It’s enthusiasm time again. Let me know what you think via twitter at @JamieSmartCom, on my Facebook page, or on my blog below.

1. A quote I’m resonating with this week
I’m a huge fan of Howard Bloom, tunnel-busting author of books including The Lucifer Principle and Global Brain. Check out this tweet-conglomerate that crossed my twitstream this week:

“nature loathes the status quo. she is obsessed with breaking her own laws in order to make new realities. molecules destroyed a status quo in which bare atoms ruled. galaxies chewed holes through peaceful dust clouds and churned them into spiral arms and stars. life eats mere stone and turns it into greenery. then life’s first high rises reach toward stars and break the law of gravity. we call these criminal scrapers of the sky trees. what does this tell us nature wants from human beings? not resignation or apologies. but utter, sheer audacity.”

#008 – Demo – Money Beliefs and Signing up Coaching Clients – Thriving Coaches Podcast

Posted on August 8, 2018 by Jamie Smart

Released 8th Aug 2018 Subscribe: Spotify | iTunes | Stitcher

This episode is a coaching session I did with coach and therapist Pete Bryceland nearly 4 years ago during the beta test of the Thriving Coaches Blueprint programme. I did the session in a group setting and the reason this may be of particular interest to you is that in the 3 weeks following the session Pete signed up two coaching clients on packages of 10 thousand pounds each. So he made more money in that month than he’d made in the previous year.
