Let me tell you about our sponsor,
0:02
Audible, and something crazy I am doing
0:04
lately with Audible. I am listening to
0:06
fiction. I just don't do that. I
0:08
mean, I've always used Audible to help
0:10
me learn. It's my go-to and I'm
0:12
exercising when I'm in the car, and
0:14
it still is. But right now I'm
0:16
completely wrapped up in eruption by Michael
0:18
Crichton. and James Patterson. I'm just loving
0:20
the story. That's what's cool about audible.
0:22
They have just about anything you could
0:24
ask for with over a million audio
0:26
books and podcasts and exclusive audible originals.
0:28
It's easy, it's convenient, it's on my
0:30
phone, I listen to my iPad, my
0:32
computer, it's just seamless. And I may
0:34
be listening to fiction right now, but
0:36

0:38
experts and professionals on better health, on
0:40
relationships, on careers, finance, investing, more. Plus,
0:42

0:50
a little motivation. So good. So if

1:07
a fan because I started using

1:11
I'm glad they are. It's easy,
1:13
it takes a few seconds, and
1:15
it smells good too. I've been
1:17
using it, I think, about a
1:19
month now, and my wife, I
1:21
should say, says she can tell
1:23
the difference, and that is all
1:25
that matters. So here's a story.

sometimes in your life, it's like you're
2:10
wearing every hat. Jack of All Trage,
2:12
you wear all the hats, right? You wear every
2:14
hat on the hat on the team. It's like
2:16
you're a baseball team, but you're playing every single
2:18
position. And you, like, you are not playing your
2:20
part on the team. Maybe you felt that way.
2:23
I bet you have. I think a lot of
2:25
people have. And that's okay because we're like team
2:27

3:04

3:06
it's okay I'm happy to have here today my name
3:08
is Scott Smith. Thanks for stopping by
3:10
today on a Friday. Do me favor today when
3:13
the show is done just take about 30
3:15
seconds and ask yourself this question how
3:17
do I want to feel? That's it. Ask
3:19
yourself a question. And you can think
3:21
about what you're driving if you want to, and then allow the
3:23
answers to come in. And here's the thing. I just want you to
3:25
for just at least a second, instead of saying, well, I need
3:27
to feel this way or do this or whatever. I don't know.
3:29
Ask how you want to feel, and then follow that path. You might
3:32
be surprised where it takes how you want to feel, and then follow
3:34
that path. You might be surprised where it takes where it takes
3:36
you want to feel, and then follow that path. You might be
3:38
surprised where it. And then follow that path and then follow that
3:40
path. You might be surprised where it. You might be surprised where it. And then,
3:42
you. And then, and then, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you,
3:44

3:46
you, you, you, you, you, you want to feel It just kind
3:48
of shows up. I mean the actions speak
3:50
louder than words, right? So ask that question
3:52
today. How do I want to feel? Why you
3:55
take your massive action to get massive success?
3:57
Yay, make your move. Thanks Tony. So I
3:59
feel like life. is kind of crazy sometimes.
4:01
You can remember something, okay? Life and business
4:03
are about solving problems. That's about it. I
4:05
mentioned the other day, I was watching the
4:07
second half of the final season of Yellowstone.
4:09
Oh, it's a pickier picky-up our ways. That's
4:11
so good. It is good. It's not really
4:13
a peat. They were talking about being a
4:15
cowboy. Cowboy is supposed to be hard. That's
4:18
what life is. It's hard. And life is
4:20
that way, life is hard. I know you
4:22
want to be easier. Thank goodness we've done
4:24
a lot in our time and been able
4:26
to make life nice and comfortably for her.
4:28
But the truth is, we're all just very,
4:30
very short distance away from everything falling apart
4:32
and falling apart. But the truth is, we're
4:34
all just very, very short distance away from
4:36
everything falling apart and falling apart and falling
4:39
from everything falling apart and falling apart. It's
4:41
just very, very short distance away from everything
4:43
falling, falling, falling, this is a big facade
4:45
right now. Okay, if it's going to be
4:47
that way, I'm just going to feel good
4:49
about it anyway, and let's go after it.
4:51
And that's what this show's all about. Just
4:53
taking on the challenge. Oh yes, you might
4:55
have a moment here or there where you're
4:58
like, what? I do the same thing. But
5:00
at the end of the day, what can
5:02
you do about it? You're very, what? But
5:04
at the end of the day, what can
5:06
you do about it? You're very, what? What,
5:08
at the end of the end of the
5:10
day, what, what, what, what, what, what, what,
5:12
what, what, what, what, what can you, what,
5:14
what, what, what, what, what, what, what, can
5:16
you, what, what, can you, what, what, can
5:19
you, what, can you, what, what, can you,
5:21
what, can you, can you, what, can you,
5:23
can you, what, can you, can you, can
5:25
you, can you, I have dreams, I have
5:27
things I want to do. Do you have
5:29
big dreams, big goals? Maybe something you always
5:31
wanted to do? Maybe something you'd like to
5:33
do today, some change you would like to
5:35
make in your life? I was talking to
5:37
a friend the other day who moved to
5:40
Daytona Beach where I live. He's going to
5:42
a friend the other day who moved to
5:44
Daytona Beach where I live. He's 55. A
5:46
friend the other day who moved to Daytona
5:48
Beach where I live. He's 55. I was
5:50
going to a friend the other day who
5:52
moved to Daytona. By the way we're full,
5:54
there's no space here anymore, so you can't
5:56
come now. Big dreams? I want you to
5:58
hang on to those. But
6:00
how do you begin with a bang? So I've got a few things for you
6:03
here. So this is kind of a little bit of a list. If
6:05
I'm gonna do a list of any kind, you'll hear me doing it
6:07
on a Friday show. Just kind of give you something to chew on for
6:09
the weekend. And number one, you want to decide what you want for
6:11
the weekend. And number one, you want to decide what you
6:13
want. Be specific. I asked for a car one time. I got a
6:15
1963. I got a 1963. Volkswagen Volkswagen bug. It was all beat up.
6:17
It was all beat up. I had to put everything. I had
6:19
to put everything Volkswagen bug. I had to put everything. I had
6:21
to put everything. I had to put everything new. I had to
6:23
put everything new. I had to put everything new. I had to
6:25
put everything new. I had to put everything new. Decide
6:27
what you want to be specific. But Scott,
6:30
I don't know what specific is. Your
6:32
job is to figure out what specific is.
6:34
Can you help me figure it out?
6:36
Yeah, probably can, but still, that's your
6:38
job. Number two. Decide you gotta pay the
6:40
price. You heard it before. Short-term pain,
6:43
long-term gain. The future value of
6:45
your life depends on your current value
6:47
of your effort. So decide you need to
6:49
pay the price. I know you don't want to pay
6:51
the price, but I would say that most people
6:53
I sit and meet that... don't want
6:56
to pay the price or comfortably be
6:58
miserable right now, just barely, barely
7:00
getting by. They haven't decided to pay
7:02
the price. When you do, it's going to pay
7:04
off. I was at the gym the other day. They
7:06
said, Scott, how much can you, can you lift
7:09
weight? I currently am working out at
7:11
285 pounds on a bench prison, 65
7:13
years old. I said, I've been doing about a
7:15
year now. You said, well, how much could you
7:17
bench last year? I said, I said, 80 pounds,
7:19
got to pay the price. McDonald's
7:22
McDonald's meets the Minecraft universe with
7:24
one of six collectibles and your
7:26
choice of a Big Mac or
7:28
ten-piece McNuggets with spicy netherflame sauce.
7:30
Now available with a Minecraft movie
7:32
meal. I participate in McDonald's for
7:34
a limited time, a Minecraft movie,
7:36
only in theaters. your goals.
7:38
You don't need to ask permission from anybody.
7:41
You don't even need to say a word. Put
7:43
your head down, get to work, let them figure
7:45
it out themselves. Although. Although find
7:47
out eventually, practice and private,
7:49
watch what happens. I
7:51
got six more for you here. These are
7:53
good things. So I would you want
7:56
to decide that you have to pay the
7:58
price, own your goals, and then...
8:00
you've decided what you want. Don't accept your
8:02
excuses. It's time to get to work. Doesn't that
8:04
drive you crazy? Gives me crazy. I'm the boss
8:06
of me. This is what I decided. I'm gonna
8:08
go do it. What make me next week? No!
8:11
Stop the excuses. Go get it done. Suck it
8:13
up, Butter Cup. Enjoy the suck. Number five. Start
8:15
your day early. Do that. It's important. Start your
8:17
day early. Start your day early. Now I know
8:19
you have a life right now, maybe the kids
8:22
start your day for you nice and early, maybe
8:24
you got to get up and work, you got
8:26
tons of stuff to do. Maybe you had to
8:28
work late last night, you can't, I get it,
8:31
I get it, I get it. But the most
8:33
energy you will have, the most excitement you will
8:35
have, the most everything you will have, the most
8:37
everything you will have when you're or you're, you're,
8:39
you're, the most everything you'll have when you're you're
8:42
you're you're you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're,
8:44
you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're,
8:46
you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're,
8:48
you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're,
8:50
you're But otherwise, no, everybody else, like circadian rhythm.
8:53
You can't mess with your circadian rhythm much as
8:55
you want to try. It is what it is.
8:57
Stop fighting it. Set your focus and starting point.
8:59
Pick your first ask, finish it, move on to
9:02
the next. Keep going to the next. Keep going
9:04
to you get what you want. That's it. Set
9:06
your focus. Set your starting point. Wherever it is
9:08
today, figure it out. Pick the first thing you
9:10
do to get it done. Get it finished, then
9:13
move on the next thing. Boom. You'll get what
9:15
you'll get what you'll get what you want in
9:17
the next thing. You'll get what you want that
9:19
way. You'll get what you want that way. You'll
9:21
get what you want that way. Hold
9:24
space for yourself that's essential to you. If
9:26
you don't hold space for yourself, somebody else
9:28
is going to suck it up and make
9:30
it important to them. How much are you
9:33
spent by somebody else holding space, your space
9:35
for their use? Develop the habit of deep
9:37
work. A couple of hours of uninterrupted work
9:39
will change your life. I know it hurts.
9:42
Maybe you need to spend some time on
9:44
yourself and that's where your deep work is.
9:46
Your values, your beliefs, all that stuff. Maybe
9:49
it's your business. I don't know what it
9:51
is. A couple of hours of uninterrupted work
9:53
every single day will change your life and
9:55
will change it fast. There's a lot of
9:58
things you could do. You
10:00
could forget getting caught up in believing
10:02
that you've got a network joint venture,
10:04
collaborate, have partnerships. You could just believe
10:06
that you can start all by yourself
10:08
and let everybody else catch up. You
10:10
could believe in that. You could believe
10:13
that you don't need to get caught
10:15
up in learning. You could just stumble
10:17
on your answer, get back to work.
10:19
Yeah, you could because that happens. You
10:21
could believe that... If I apply never
10:23
any massive imperfect action, I'm going to
10:25
get what I want because I trust
10:28
it's going to happen. You just clean
10:30
up the mess later, right? You could
10:32
believe that if you wanted to. It's
10:34
all true. This is about you believing
10:36
in yourself and you've got all the
10:38
answers inside and you're going to figure
10:40
it out any way. You've been doing
10:42
it your whole entire life. If you're
10:45
not getting what you want, you've got
10:47
to make sure you keep it, right?
10:49
Rules of life have not changed just
10:51
because the internet is here and AIs
10:53
here now. Rules of life have always
10:55
been the same and you know what
10:57
they are because you've been living on
10:59
my whole life. Now just live them
11:02
better, okay? And oh man, everything me,
11:04
if you want to connect with me,
11:06
contact me, just go to motivation and
11:08
move.com. All spelled out, you find all
11:10
my information right there. No matter what
11:12
you do, there is one super simple
11:14
success recipe. Stand up, take a step
11:16
repeat. How long, Scott? Keep going until
11:19
I get what I want? Why would
11:21
you stop before you got there anyway?
11:23
Have a great week and I'll see
11:25
you next up this Monday. Again on
11:27
the Daily Boost.
