Posted on November 24, 2016 by Eugenia Zelaya

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 →

1. A quote I’m resonating with this week

Chapter 19 of RESULTS features a story about John Wilkes and how he negotiated a 5-day per week job down to 3 days per week, while getting exactly the same salary! These days, he’s the co-founder of the conversion rate optimisation agency, Somebody Digital. He’s also the creator of Hotfishin, a website that connects fishermen with fisheries (imagine a kind of ‘Airbnb for fishing’). This week, I interviewed him for The RESULTS Mindset Podcast https://www.jamiesmart.com/resultspodcast/, and he said something that really got my attention: 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 →

TTE63 – Concentration, Illusion and Smiles

Posted on September 23, 2016 by Eugenia Zelaya

Sorry I’m a day late with this. I got overly enthusiastic about something else and didn’t finish it on time 🙂 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
I got this from the UK police road-craft manual, but it goes beyond high-speed pursuits. In fact, it seems particularly relevant to me in light of the explosion of technologies that conspire to absorb our attention.

“Concentration: The complete application of mind and body to an endeavour to the complete exclusion of everything not relevant to that endeavour.” Read More →
