0:20

Come on in. What a show. I

0:23

mean, I'm feeling one of those moods today. I'm kind

0:25

of tired. Did a lot of coaching last week. But

0:27

when I get tired, I get inspired to share with you.

0:29

You're going to learn stuff today. Your mom should have taught

0:31

you. Your dad should have taught you. Your uncle should have

0:34

taught you. Your aunt should have taught you. Maybe you did.

0:36

You just weren't listening. Maybe you're in search of TikTok. It's

0:38

not there for you. Maybe it's on

0:40

YouTube, but you haven't found it yet, but you will find

0:42

it today. I

0:44

will tell you this. If you've listened

0:46

to me since 2006. Yes,

0:49

an original podcast, OG. 18 years, 5,000 episodes.

0:54

You've learned a lot. But one thing you have learned

0:56

is when Scott feels like he does today tired, but

0:58

inspired. It's when you

1:00

should listen closely because I'm going to deliver

1:02

some crazy Scott logic to you today. What

1:05

is Scott logic? Well, if it's first time Scott logic is

1:07

my superior common sense that only I own and operate. It

1:10

is 99% accurate. It is slightly inaccurate.

1:12

It doesn't mean it doesn't work. It

1:15

might not work for you, but then again, depending on how much you

1:17

let your hair down on the weekends, you might still be able

1:19

to use it if you do and you need

1:21

to be bailed out. Just send me an

1:23

email. I'm

1:25

sort of serious about that. It

1:28

is the Daily Boost from motivation to move.com. Happy to have

1:30

you here today. My name is Scott Smith. Welcome to the

1:32

most unorthodox personal growth show on the planet. Why? Well,

1:37

because I just noticed that there's a lot of people who

1:39

do the work and don't get the reward.

1:42

So I focus on the reward. We call it the gap. Actually, I

1:44

was talking to a gentleman who joined my fish or passion program

1:46

last week and he called it that. He

1:48

says, Scott, you're filling the gap. I'm like, well, tell

1:50

me more. He said, well, I've taken all the high performance individual

1:53

stuff. You know, I've done

1:55

all that stuff, the world domination kind of stuff. I spend

1:57

all the money on courses all over the place. I'm

2:00

not happy. Life is not good. I

2:02

don't talk to my wife. I don't see my kids. I

2:06

talked to another person who said, I've taken all the woo-woo stuff. I thought that

2:08

would make me happy. I'm

2:10

not. Things

2:13

haven't been fixed and that's the problem. So what we do with Fix

2:15

Your Passion is we go in the middle. We

2:17

understand that sometimes you do everything you're supposed to do,

2:20

yet you end up divorced, unhappy, your kids hate you

2:22

and you're bankrupt. Sometimes

2:24

you do the woo-woo stuff and you never found yourself in

2:27

a darker place ever. So we stay right in the middle,

2:29

right between the lines in what makes life really work. If

2:32

you would like a group that does that, if

2:34

you'd like to join a mastermind level group, I'm

2:36

kind of picky about the people. You got to be a fit

2:38

or I can't let you in. That's protecting them. Okay. And

2:41

you, and you understand

2:43

that it's $2.97 a month and

2:45

that doesn't scare you. Send

2:47

a note to support at motivation

2:49

to move.com. Tell me, Scott, I want to talk to you about

2:52

it and we'll get on zoom and we'll chat about it. By

2:54

the way, you can go to fixyourpassion.com and watch the video as

2:56

well if you'd like to. All right,

2:58

let's do this thing today. Hey, listen, I'm

3:00

not running any commercials. I'm hardly any commercials on the show

3:02

anymore, right? There's still some, but there's not that many. And

3:05

I've talked about that already, but um, if

3:08

we don't have that, you know, I'm either washing cars

3:10

or doing my coaching. So there you go. Every

3:14

Monday I ask a question. Have

3:16

you done your homework? The question is simple. How's my life going?

3:18

I can promise you that your life will change. People say, what

3:20

do you mean by that? A couple of

3:23

years ago, your dollar was worth a dollar, wasn't it? It's

3:25

worth 74 cents today. Have you been to the grocery store

3:27

lately? If

3:30

you had everything perfectly aligned a

3:33

couple of years back, probably

3:35

was okay to go to the grocery store and spend some money today.

3:38

You gotta, you gotta think about it, don't you?

3:40

Stuff changes is what I'm saying. So no matter how good it is,

3:42

it might change. So ask yourself, how's my life

3:44

is going or something like

3:46

that. How is my life is going? Something like that.

3:48

Ask yourself that question and then decide how you're going

3:50

to keep it that way. Make plans for it. If

3:52

it's going terribly, make plans to change it. If you

3:54

don't do something about it, nobody else will. I promise

3:56

you that's your homework today. How's my life going now?

3:58

Ladies and gentlemen. No

4:04

discuss not

4:07

even though they say they are to

4:10

try another line one

4:14

the other is that you the

4:17

trainer the lion is

4:19

the preacher or motivational speaker could be both

4:21

I don't know are you

4:23

trying are you lying see I get on the phone with

4:25

people and we

4:27

talk about stuff they kinda do the coaching confessional thing

4:29

which I love you feel talk to me they

4:32

understand I need some backstory and

4:34

they have to give me that little bit but your back

4:37

stories with the details are for a long time and

4:39

we talk about what they've been focused on their they're not telling the

4:41

truth I know that already I don't hold against them I just know

4:44

where it is but done this I've done the 16,000 times hours

4:47

at least people

4:49

are saying they're focused on what's most important

4:51

to them but I

4:53

know it's not true so

4:56

it's working on so here's a question for you are you the

4:58

kind of person who is

5:00

always running around putting out fires if

5:02

you listen to me for a long time you know I pay

5:05

attention to that because I believe most you are most of us

5:07

do it every single day I am included in you gotta

5:10

be very careful not to set too many fires but here's the

5:12

question if you're

5:14

putting out fires are you the one that is actually starting

5:16

the fire do you have the mattress on the lighter fluid

5:18

are you are

5:21

you the arsonist in your own life some

5:24

people like that it's like gossip, gossip is easy people

5:27

talk negative bit touch all day long you

5:29

can do it too it's so easy to get into it's why you have to be careful

5:31

with it right but also starting

5:34

fires making un useless

5:36

drama in your life happen is something people

5:38

like to do I

5:40

think sometimes because you're just used to it sometimes because you haven't

5:42

thought about something else to do and sometimes because you just haven't

5:44

been beat up enough yet you haven't got to

5:47

the point where you warn yourself out you will change

5:50

and I promise you there's gonna come a time

5:52

and maybe that time is today you will change

5:54

when you wear yourself out instantly become a different

5:56

person it's

5:58

happened in your life before hasn't it? you've had enough that's

6:00

it I'm done it's over you're out of here whatever it happens

6:02

6:05

are lighting your own fire so eventually you're gonna figure it

6:07

6:17

6:59

7:02

7:06

you accept you're the cause because you're the cause

7:08

of everything in your life right see it's not

7:10

just this it's everything it's also a good chance you won't

7:12

think it's you it's all about somebody else we have a

7:14

an epidemic of that going on right now people not taking

7:16

the blame for the blame they should be putting on themselves

7:19

they're not they're putting on somebody else and never

7:22

works when you do that does it are

7:25

you the cause number

7:28

two with the bullet

7:30

rising the charts this week living

7:33

with your hair on fire will keep you so

7:35

busy you will spend years wondering why you can't

7:37

get what you want you

7:42

will change when you wear yourself out sometimes

7:44

you have to slow down before you get there sometimes

7:46

you're not gonna change do you actually

7:49

crash and burn until you push so hard to

7:51

get what you want you finally

7:53

one day just implode it's

7:56

gonna happen and

7:58

we all heard just accept it for what it is and me

8:00

and you through the rest of your life. Craziness

8:03

just creates more craziness. It

8:06

will change when you wear yourself out and sometimes you have to slow down

8:08

and get there. Number

8:12

three, when you

8:14

stop doing anything that results in more

8:16

craziness, you have to find something happens

8:19

that's kind of crazy. Nothing.

8:24

I got up yesterday and it was crazy but

8:26

then I listened to this crazy podcast and Scott

8:28

said stop doing that so I stopped doing that.

8:30

I get up today and there's nothing happening. It's

8:32

like what happened? Where did all the craziness go?

8:34

All I did was stop making crazy and suddenly

8:36

life is okay. Didn't

8:39

step on any toes, didn't look at anybody the wrong

8:41

way. Took care of all my

8:43

responsibilities, went to the gym, feel good about myself and

8:46

suddenly life is okay. When you stop doing anything that

8:48

results in more craziness, you find life is pretty darn

8:50

quiet and

8:53

some place in the quiet is

8:56

where the good stuff starts to happen. Are

9:00

you afraid of quiet? Are

9:03

you afraid of being there? Most

9:05

people can't spend much time quiet by themselves. Gotta

9:07

stay busy. Gotta pick up that phone

9:09

even if you go to the bathroom, right? It's

9:12

a bad for you by the way. Lots of reasons to look it up. Yeah.

9:18

Sometimes when you figure out that you are lighting most of your

9:20

fires, that's keeping you busy stomping them

9:22

out every single day. You

9:25

lose the drama. You accept

9:27

that it's probably you and you

9:29

stop doing that crazy stuff. You

9:32

get up one morning and it's

9:34

just quiet. The good stuff

9:36

begins to happen. So

9:41

are you ready for the good stuff to begin to happen? One

9:44

thing I've learned over time, I work with type

9:46

A personalities in most cases. They are high performance

9:48

individuals who have all the capabilities in the world.

9:52

They are setting fires that are driving themselves crazy.

9:55

My job is to slow them down a little bit. Show

9:58

them the quiet. Get them comfortable

10:00

with the quiet. Begin to get

10:02

them focused on what's important in their life. Not

10:05

the other stuff. You've

10:08

got to move it. I

10:12

just recognized that today's show is not focusing on what's important. It

10:14

was really turned out to be focusing on what's not important. That's

10:16

kind of what it actually became, huh? I'll take

10:18

it. We're going to leave it as it is because that's what we do.

10:20

We don't edit. We move forward because I've never

10:22

been able to edit my life. Anything behind me

10:25

seems to stay there. That's it. I can't go

10:27

back and fix it, so I'm not going to

10:29

start it now. See you tomorrow!
