Inspired by @Ben Sherry I'm excited to introduce you to the Genius series 💃 I've been reaching out on LinkedIn in a quirky way. Ask me about that in the comments if you'd like to know more. I'm then interviewing people as part of the Genius Series, where I will, with their permission, upload the interview to a platform of their choice. I'm also popping it onto my YouTube platform.

Here’s mine: 🤗 serve clients 💪🏼 exercise schedule for four days locked in 🚀 Profit Power Hour every morning - I’ve been trying a new thing on Linked In which seems to have promise 🗣️ I’m trying an IRL networking group not far from me 📝 Finalise the new quiz 🎙️ pitch two more podcasts I’m away next week on a mastermind retreat so looking forward to a good week of inspired action.

Life has taken an unexpected twist. Back in July, I was invited to a prison down the road from me to do a guest talk. One of the guys had been writing to his buddy and had read my book, Wing of an Angel. He then invited me back for a day supporting veterans in prison, and I decided to take along @Louise Knighton And the buddy that was supporting him, we all had a fabulous day. Real interesting prisoner with an amazing rehabilitative attitude, and I even had "Play My Way" by Frank Sinatra. Oh, and a cake because it was my birthday. We did that visit without any agenda or reason other than to support the guy who had reached out and asked us to come and do a talk. It was totally voluntary, and the two girls were amazing. We had a lot of fun together. This week, the prison governor, who is called a director because it's a private prison, reached out to me to ask what it would be like if we were to provide our services into that prison on a longer-term basis. I have a curriculum and a program from my days of running the nonprofit Beyond Recovery, so I set up a call with him to discuss what that might look like. This morning, I spent 3 hours writing a proposal to take that curriculum back into a prison that I worked with in 2016. When it wasn't so innovative and to be honest, it was hard work. I've had all sorts of other ideas (being an entrepreneur) about what could follow, because that's the way my mind goes, but what I truly know is that when you do anything like this, you just submit it and you say, "We'll see." It could come off. It might not come off. Some other different thing might come off. But it reminded me deeply of how we can never know what's coming our way and what might grow from that. We can never know the impact we're having and the ripple effects from that. We can never know what life has in store for us. We just have to be ready to say yes when it offers something. I'd love to hear your stories on when this has happened for you.

You don't need a new business plan. You need to stop overlooking the genius you've been giving away for free your whole life. In this training I walked through the two kinds of business — one built by chasing gaps and trends, one grounded in your own lived experience — and why only the second one lasts. I show you what "genius" actually means (it's not what you think), how to find the thread that runs through every job and hardship you've ever had, and why your hardest chapters are qualifications, not backstory. If you've built a career, survived plenty, and are ready to stop starting again and start distilling — this one's for you. 𝗖𝘂𝘁 𝗱𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗹𝘂𝗱𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 - 𝗹𝗲𝘁 𝗺𝗲 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗸𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂 👇🏼

Check out this great win from one of our members who prefers to be anonymous. When they first joined the idea of outreach was petrifying because they didn’t think they knew how to talk about their work. I’ve seen them go from strength to strength with very little coaching and heaps of determination ❤️‍🔥💪🏼
