In Reboot, he inspires everyone to hold themselves responsible for their choices and for the possibility of truly achieving their dreams. Work does not have to destroy us.

Everyone needs a coach to live their best life. Did you know that you already have your very own life coach living within, 24/7, that you never need to pay? Being coached changed my future trajectory. However, what happened in between those phone calls--the deep, daily, inner work with myself--is what caused me to find joy, freedom, and abundance where I already was. The purpose of self-coaching is to feel better about your past and future, while enjoying your present immensely. By sharing my very own tools and stories, I hope to show you the power of monitoring your inner landscape to grow only what you desire. This series of short, focused lessons, can help anyone with a heart and a brain learn to coach themselves through the sea of life. I was my very first coaching client 20 years ago, and I am still making progress today. Mastery isn't about reaching the upper most level. It is about realizing you never will, so you might as well enjoy the journey and embrace the waves. I make self-coaching methods accessible to you with simple visuals and writing exercises, so that you can hear the whispers of your heart more clearly, to win the battle within. It's not about heart over mind. It's about getting them to work together toward common goals.Any amount of complaining about other people, or worrying about your outside world, is the opposite of self-coaching. Our brains are always looking for problems to solve, while our hearts see nothing but beauty in the imperfect. In book one of this Self-Coaching Mastery series, I share my own system for separating out the 60,000 thoughts we have each day, to create a life I love, on purpose. Our subconscious minds create reality based on the past, but our hearts (which I call my higher self) create reality based on our potential. EVERYTHING going on inside of us is controlled by us, but we aren't taught that in school! Learn how to preserve your personal power, and take ownership over your joy, by becoming your own coach. You cannot control the outside world, including other people. The battle within is the only war you can truly win.Connect with Jamie at www.jamiedooley.com.
