About the book
“The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do” – Steve Jobs. Legends create history everyday. The status of being a legend is reserved for the chosen few who believe they are destined for greatness. Achieving success is your ability to eliminate the weaknesses and biases that are inherent within yourself. History tells us that not all greats have off-the-chart IQs, nor are they born with limitless freedom. In fact, it is this triumph over less than favorable circumstances and their determination to achieve that we tend to respect the most. The people who have changed the world are people like you and I.
They set out to achieve outstanding results and make their decisions within intellectual criteria. All the greats have engaged a higher impulse, a higher bandwidth, and an inherent strength. [Pg. 43, The Jetstream of Success] The Jetstream of Success, written by businessman Julian Pencilliah, is filled with intellectual processes and crystallized wisdom intended to help the reader become more sophisticated in their thinking.
As powerful as the lessons are, they require context through which a sense of connection is developed with the reader. For this reason Julian uses his real-life experiences during his journey across the world as analogies to aid the reader to identify with and unveil the potential within themselves.
The Jetstream of Success has been written to help the reader reinvent themselves so as to be more aligned to their goals. The book is not intended as an easy read. In fact, it is designed to challenge its readers to take a leap of vision and imagination, to piece together an ever-greater and clearer understanding of themselves so they can redefine their lives and, in the process, determine their own futures.

Chapter: The Great White Dive
In this chapter, Julian Pencilliah goes face-to-face with the Great White in the depths of the Atlantic. The Great White shark is one of the most-feared predators in the world. Julian decided to accept the challenge and delve into the mysteries of this unforgiving creature: “It is as though God created the devil and gave him JAWS …”, to quote from the screenplay of Steven Spielberg’s 1975 motion picture.
Imagine this: a 2.2 ton, 6 meter long predator that can swim at speeds of up to 42 kilometers per hour. In The Jetstream of Success, Julian reveals that, “there is a mysterious beauty in this moment of coming face-to-face with a Great White”.
Using the analogy of coming face-to-face with your greatest fears, Julian explains that “fear is just a message”. We can only appreciate our fears from a place of silence, from a depth and from timeless wisdom. It is only when we face our fears that we gain an inner poise to mobilize our lives and move on. It is in this moment that we are able to stitch together a sequence of insights that will propel our success.
View the images and the video that the media team captured of Julian’s pulsating dive with seven eager and viciously charging Great Whites.
Chapter: Line of Sight
In the chapter Line of Sight, Julian Pencilliah was invited by Virgin billionaire, Sir Richard Branson, to his private game reserve, Ulusaba, for the weekend.
Ironically, jetting away from the city to this “place of little fear”, one can’t help but feel an uncontrollable sense of fear, for this is the land where the Big Five roam freely against the backdrop of the African landscape.
While being driven on a game drive by Sir Richard Branson himself, Julian got to witness a prowling leopard focused intensely on hunting down its prey – a lone buck. He watched as the leopard waited patiently, calculated every move with remarkable precision, and stealthily moved each time its prey moved. The buck sensed danger and this instigated a race between predator and prey. An icy chill swept over the audience as each person decided whose side they were on; predator or prey. The race was a fierce struggle between predator and prey, as each moved through the air in leaps. The seconds passed in a prolonged and painful silence. The buck began to show fatigue. Four quick strides and the predator made its final powerful leap. It was all over in a moment. The instinctive nature of the leopard was superior to that of the buck and with just one rapid, powerful leap, the predator was victorious.
The analogy in this chapter helps one to overcome the bias within one’s ego mind, rational mind and personal unconscious mind. The effect is to awaken an instinct within ourselves to engage more purposefully with our goals.
