boost. This episode is

1:01

brought to you by State Farm. You might

1:03

say all kinds of stuff when things go

1:05

wrong, but these are the words you really

1:07

need to remember. Like a good neighbor, State

1:10

Farm is there. They've got options to fit

1:12

your unique insurance needs, meaning you can talk

1:14

to your agent to choose the coverage you

1:17

need, have coverage options to protect the things

1:19

you value most, file a claim right on

1:21

the State Farm mobile app, and even reach

1:23

a real person when you need to talk

1:26

to someone. Like a good neighbor, State

1:28

Farm is there. So

1:31

my wife and I Took a Saturday

1:33

morning in Daytona Beach down on Beat Street.

1:35

Been there. It's a nice place these days.

1:38

I met an author at an art show

1:40

and he had a great idea. He had

1:42

a book series. Check this. His book series

1:44

is called Dear Beer. His name is Sean

1:46

Donovan wrote this thing. And I saw right

1:48

away. So what a great idea. It's about

1:51

people's relationship with beer. It's kind of a

1:53

high concept idea. I said, you need a

1:55

podcast, man. He said, yeah, I probably do.

1:57

But it's a great book series. you know

1:59

the best part is? It has a happy

2:01

ending too. And of course. Most beer stories

2:03

have a happy ending. No, not all of

2:05

them. We all know that for sure. We'll

2:07

get back to that in a second. Okay,

2:10

it's the Daily Boost for Motivation of move.com.

2:12

The positive boost unit every single day. We're

2:14

in our 19th season. Looking forward to year

2:16

20, so I can say 20 years of

2:18

the Daily Boost. Episode 5,000 and 79. I'm

2:20

sorry you're late. You're late. You're late. You

2:22

missed a few. You missed a few. You

2:24

missed a few. We don't have 5,000 episodes

2:26

online. We don't. That's too many. This is

2:29

too many. You don't want to hear what

2:31

I sounded like or what I said 20

2:33

years ago, right? You just don't want to.

2:35

I mean, it's been a journey. Those of

2:37

you who have been with me for a

2:39

long time. Like, Scott, you are continually

2:41

changing. I said, you've been with

2:43

me for a long time. Like,

2:45

Scott, you are continually changing. I

2:47

just don't, because that's embarrassing.

2:50

Because that's embarrassing. It just

2:52

me, Scott, good to have you, thanks.

2:54

Yeah, this, anyway, this guy was talking

2:56

to, that wrote the Dear Beer book,

2:58

and I'm gonna, I just like them,

3:00

he just did good energy, and just

3:03

fun book, neat series. It's the second

3:05

most successful book he's ever written, and

3:07

it's essentially a coloring book, and

3:09

it's essentially a coloring book, and

3:11

it's essentially a coloring book, and

3:14

it's essentially a coloring, and

3:16

it's talking about my wife, and I was

3:18

talking about my wife on my wife on the

3:20

way on the way, That's it. You

3:22

don't have a big hit podcast. You

3:24

let everybody know you have a big

3:26

podcast and they give you free

3:28

stuff. It's like being at the

3:31

Oscars or getting an Academy Award.

3:33

That's what it is. Give me the

3:35

swag bag. In this case, I got dear

3:37

beer books. But I've seen about having

3:39

a happy ending and writing a book.

3:42

But I've said about having a

3:44

happy ending and writing a book. And

3:46

we're chatting about having a happy

3:48

ending, does it? Makes

3:50

some sense. We'll talk about that today

3:53

a little bit. Just a reminder, making

3:55

sure you know, we'll back off this a

3:57

little bit as time goes on. The new

3:59

4:25

you could write a book. about

4:31

the person you become, today, would

4:33

it have a happy ending? I

4:35

spend a good portion of my

4:38

day interacting with clients all

4:40

over the world, worldwide.

4:42

And they're usually upbeat,

4:44

open to problem solving,

4:46

seeking my advice to kind

4:48

of help them. They're usually

4:50

that way. I typically don't

4:53

get people, people that come

4:55

to me, and if you want to

4:57

work with me ever, if you consider

4:59

that. The best thing is to kind of

5:01

come to me when you have kind of decided

5:03

what you want to do, and maybe you're just

5:06

kind of stumbling along the way, but you just

5:08

can't figure that out. If you're needing figuring it

5:10

out mode, that's probably not where you need to

5:12

spend time with me, because that just takes a

5:15

long time to do. But if you kind of at

5:17

least have an idea, man, we can run. But

5:19

they're usually upbeat, and you should be upbeat

5:21

too. You should be open to problem solving.

5:23

If you're that problem solving, if you're

5:25

that. If you're that. Basically

5:28

people say to me, help me get out of my own way and get my act

5:30

together. Now I will agree with you that you're probably in your own way for

5:32

sure. And I will also agree with you that your act is not

5:34

together. It doesn't mean your act is not together. It doesn't mean your

5:36

act is not together. It doesn't mean your act is not together. It

5:38

doesn't mean your act is not together. It doesn't mean your act is

5:40

not together. It doesn't mean your acts not together everywhere. It just means

5:42

in this not together. It doesn't mean your acts not together everywhere. It

5:44

just not together everywhere. It doesn't mean you're not together everywhere. It doesn't

5:47

mean your acts not together everywhere. It just not together everywhere. It doesn't

5:49

mean your acts not together everywhere. It just means not together everywhere. It

5:51

just means not together everywhere. It just means not together everywhere. It just

5:53

means not together everywhere. It just means not together everywhere. It just means

5:55

not together everywhere. It just means not together everywhere. It just means not

5:58

I hope you get out your own way. because

6:00

we're all in our own way. And I

6:02

hope you get your act together

6:05

because you gotta rehearse to

6:07

get your act together, don't

6:10

you? Otherwise, nobody wants

6:12

to see your show. This is

6:14

what writing a book

6:16

enters the conversation, prompting

6:19

a good question for me,

6:21

okay? Before you start to

6:24

write your book, it's an

6:26

autobiography. Does it have a

6:28

happy ending? The answer is yes,

6:30

that's why I'm here today. Just make

6:32

sure you, it's, yeah. Now the next

6:34

question is this. If you were to

6:37

write a book today, would that be your

6:39

answer? Of all the things you're going

6:41

on in your life is the end

6:43

thing, the happy ending. I can tell

6:45

you this, in your mind, unless you're

6:47

just one of those people

6:50

occasionally, you want a happy ending.

6:52

You want it to be upbeat and

6:54

positive. You want good positive

6:56

stuff. You want your

6:58

book of your life, your book

7:00

of your experiences to be a happy ending.

7:02

Oh yeah, I get. There are some

7:05

of those weekends, particularly if you've had

7:07

a good party on a Friday night,

7:09

that you could care less about a happy

7:11

ending, right? You just care less. We all

7:13

obstruct our path, we do. That's how we

7:16

learn. And we all have to get our

7:18

act together until we want another

7:20

act. That's called growth. Growth. That's

7:22

what it's all about. Let me give you

7:25

a secret about. Spring Savings are in

7:27

the air and at Ross where they

7:29

have savings on all the brands you

7:31

love. From the latest fashion to outdoor

7:33

decor and even pet supplies, savings are

7:36

in every aisle. Go to Ross and

7:38

save 20 to 60% off other retailers

7:40

prices on your favorite spring fines.

7:42

If you're frustrated, if you're stuck,

7:44

if the world's got you confused

7:46

right now and it should, just

7:48

understand you're not growing. If

7:51

things have got you paused. If you can't

7:53

figure out why all these crazy people are

7:55

doing crazy things, you're not growing. You

7:57

haven't expanded your world due to understand

7:59

it. Growth is everything, and I will

8:01

promise you this. If you're feeling stuck

8:03

in any way today and get yourself

8:05

in that mode, you're learning and moving

8:07

forward and at least taking maybe some

8:09

of my advice and reading some books

8:12

and talking to people, it'll change everything

8:14

for you. You know, people who live in

8:16

average life almost always chase squirrels.

8:18

They always chase shiny objects, more

8:20

than focusing on actions that create

8:23

consistent results, the ones they and you

8:25

want. It is an exhausting way to live. And

8:28

it creates an average life, creates a

8:31

mediocre life, creates a frustrating life

8:33

is what it does. Thribing

8:35

individuals kind of take a

8:38

business-minded approach. They implement actions

8:40

that get results are sustainable and

8:42

grow the economics of the business,

8:44

right? You can do that in your personal

8:46

life. They figure out what works and

8:49

keep doing it. There's no drifting in

8:51

the wind. You'll hear me talking about

8:53

this stuff all the time. I will look

8:55

at your life as a business. It must

8:57

do certain things. It must find a customer,

9:00

do the job for the customer, and get

9:02

paid and then have the customer come

9:04

back again. If it doesn't do that, at

9:06

a very base level, the business goes

9:08

out of business. Same thing with

9:10

you. You must take care of

9:12

yourself. You must find a resort

9:14

and relationships. You must make a great living.

9:17

You must do all this stuff consistently or

9:19

your life will fall apart. No

9:21

drifting in the win. I know

9:23

it's really common and popular. All

9:25

right, go ahead. Go ahead. I've seen people

9:28

with a laptop lifestyle. You know

9:30

what they do? They actually drill

9:32

some big leg bolts through the laptop

9:34

right through your femurbone and bolt it

9:36

up on the other side and you

9:39

can't ever take that laptop off. The

9:41

bottom line is, unless you have a

9:43

brand new Macbook Air Pro, M4 like

9:45

I do, it burns your lap. Freedom!

9:47

Bolt a laptop to my lap

9:50

and burn myself. That's ultimate

9:52

freedom. It's not ultimate freedom

9:54

freedom. We

9:56

all have to make our own way. We have to

9:59

figure out what works. Do it again,

10:01

then again, and again, and again,

10:03

and again, is simple. And yes,

10:05

it can be boring, too. But

10:07

boring is really awesome. Because when

10:10

you master boring, it's amazing what

10:12

happens when you master boring? Suddenly

10:14

the whole day opens up with

10:16

freedom of choice. As Dan Sullivan

10:18

say, freedom of time, freedom of

10:21

relationships, freedom of everything when that

10:23

happens. Man. If the book you

10:25

were to write about yourself today

10:27

isn't who you are, do you

10:30

think today might be a good

10:32

day to start writing about who

10:34

you are? And how about that

10:36

happy ending? Maybe think today about

10:38

what can I do in my

10:41

life that would make my life

10:43

happier. Well, all right, do me

10:45

favor. Go to motivation to move.com.
