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

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!
