More About Jim:

I’ve spent the last 25 years helping people like you improve their memory, learn to speed-read, increase their decision-making skills, and unleash their superbrains.

Throughout my career, I’ve shared these same techniques with students at universities like NYU, Harvard, Columbia, Stanford, and Singularity. I’ve also worked closely with companies like Nike and GE and Zappos to help their executives and employees get the most out of work and life. Even companies like SpaceX and Virgin, owned by billionaire geniuses like Richard Branson and Elon Musk, have trained with me.

In a world of spaceships and supercomputers, our education system still uses methods that are as old, and as ineffective, as the horse and buggy. I believe that the techniques I’ve developed over the years on how to learn – not just what to learn – should’ve been taught to us as schoolchildren. Luckily, it’s never too late to learn these skills!

No matter your age, background, or level of education, you can learn new ways to use your brain.

If you’ve been searching for better ways of coping and growing, I’m here to help you fall in love with learning again. Please, reach out and tell my team and I how we can serve you on your learning journey. And I can’t wait to be your brain coach.

Welcome to Inside the Greenroom! Today we speak with Coach, international speaker, & best-selling author Nick Unsworth.

During Nick’s career, he has coached over 10,000 entrepreneurs and sold a massive marketing company by the time he was 30. With this kind of success early on in his career, he quickly became a well-known name in his space. In an effort to scale his business and create more impact he started leveraging the power of stages. This decision led Nick and his team to even more success. 

After a string of events, Nick decided to do the one thing many entrepreneurs are scared to do. Committing to a niche.

Nick has mastered the concept “you can’t be all things to all people.” Learn how creating a target audience and niching down his business and message gave him the opportunity to start the project that was always in his heart and more!

Here is what we cover:

• How Nick overcame his fear of speaking
• Don’t try to be like anybody else
• Stepping into your authentic self 
• What took Nick 10 years to figure out

• Nick’s process for designing a vision for your life, and stepping into its reality
• When money and success doesn’t fill the void 
• When Nick went all-in on his dreams
• Niching down in your business
• The power of online challenges 
• And more!

We invite you to Take Nick’s Final Action Steps: 

Ask yourself….

1. “To take inventory on, how you are showing up right now?”
2. “What can you do to catch a new vision?”
3. “Write it out is if anything is possible.”

Whether you are a speaker, or a business owner pivoting your company online, this episode is a must-listen!
