    Daily Boost — Motivation and Personal Growth

    The Daily Boost is a weekday personal growth podcast for adults who live in the real world and want real results.

    Welcome to the School of Scott!

    About 10 minutes a day. No canned content, no recycled material — host Scott Smith and his practical way of understanding how life, business, and the world actually work.

    Some days he’ll pump you up. Some days he’ll make you think. Some days you’ll love him. Some days you’ll wonder why you listened. Every day, you’ll know exactly what they call him: the nicest renegade you’ll ever meet.

    Smile. Nod. Change everything. That’s the code.

    If you played by the rules. If you built a good life — career, business, relationships. If you decided you want more. The Daily Boost is your show.

    Topics include personal growth, motivation, purpose, decisions, work, money, relationships, time, and keeping your head straight when things get complicated.

    20 years. 5,000+ episodes. 130+ million downloads worldwide.

    Every day, the School of Scott is in session with a new episode that stands on its own. It’s always real, and occasionally pretty funny — because if you can’t laugh, what’s the point?

    Stop Trying to Be Perfect

    How much is good enough?

    I received an email from an MTMer who changed careers to become a Surgical Assistant. He did it at an age when most folks start thinking about retirement.

    Mike shared a useful saying he's heard many times in the operating room.

    He said," The evil of good enough is better."

    Once you've accomplished your goal, stop messing around and move on. The more you poke around, the better your chance of doing more harm than good.

    A simple concept. I like simple. Simple works.

    The Secret to Setting The Right Goals Jun 30, 2022
    Show notes

    Are today's opportunities moving you closer to your goal - or further away?

    --

    The Secret to Setting The Right Goals

    Some goals happen quickly. Others take longer. A lot longer.

    How can you keep your goals alive while you make them a reality?

    1) Stop falling for someone else's goals. Everybody has something they want to achieve. It's not bad. It could be helpful. In any case, it is a distraction. Know what you want and why you want it.

    2) Once you listen to yourself, be sure to commit to your plan and never, ever, ever give up.

    3) While you progress, be alert when others insert their goals into your life. They are tricky little things. They'll distract you without you even knowing.

    As you move along, always keep this question in your mind—

    "Is this an opportunity that will move me closer to my goal or further away?"

    There is only one answer that will improve your life.

    Easy Good Habits Jun 29, 2022

    Easy Good Habits

    Motivating yourself to reach your goals is a never-ending process that kicks into high gear several times a year. Most folks have a list of new routines and habits they want to put into place - but it may be too long.

    Many years ago, I decided to control my mornings by establishing actions I would take upon waking. While I had great intentions, I found myself floundering and eventually losing focus.

    Why?

    I realized that the habits I was trying to establish had no real meaning other than checking them off my list. Instead of feeling motivated and inspired, I felt bogged down. I decide to make things simple.

    These days, I establish minimum viable habits in my life. In other words, I only commit to the minimum number of behaviors that deliver the desired results. And they are important to me. Anything more is excessive, distracting, and frustrating.

    Life is much simpler when you keep it simple. A wise person would spend time on the fewest number of actions that provide the most significant results.

    How to Be More Creative at Work Jun 28, 2022

    Collect. Compile. Create. You'll never sit in front of a blank screen again.

    How to Be More Creative at Work

    Over the years, I have personally produced over 10,000 podcasts, and of them begin with the written word. Even though that makes my mouth and fingers my most exercised body parts, it has also given me many opportunities to learn to keep my words flowing.

    Like most people, you may have found yourself sitting in front of a blank screen, praying for inspiration. It could be writer's block, procrastination, or maybe you stayed up late watching Netflix. In any case, there's a simple solution to always having a starting point.

    Any project I need to wrap my head around begins by capturing the ideas that flow into my mind throughout the day. Even turning the radio off on a 20-minute drive can provide a treasure-trove of useable nuggets.

    Next, I tuck those ideas away in a safe place, with no organizing, editing, or re-writing. I grab the thoughts out of the air, jot a note or record a memo, put them away, and let them simmer.

    When I'm ready to get to work, I take 15 minutes the day before to review my creative genius list, toss out what is not relevant, create a simple outline, and walk away knowing I am ready to begin.

    The next day, I can't wait to sit in front of a blank screen and let the magic start flowing from my figure tips with complete ease.--

    Universal messages. Hear Them Now. Jun 27, 2022
    Show notes

    Listen to the messages that are floating around in your mind. They are trying to get your attention.

    --

    Universal messages. Hear Them Now.

    I’m not sure how you feel about the Universe and how things work in the world, but does the Universe speak to you?

    I can’t tell you if the ‘Universe’ stands alone or if ‘God’ created the ‘Universe’ and runs the show. That’s above my pay grade.

    What I can say is this.

    We live and breathe every day in a world that is ganging up on us and trying to get our attention. The question is, are you listening?

    While there are many ways people seek to receive messages of guidance as we make life decisions, my favorite has always been events that occur in triplicate. If something happens three times, I pay attention.

    Call me hard-headed, distracted, or set in my ways, but life has taught me that wisdom tends to come in whispers - usually when our thoughts are screaming in our head and drowning out our dreams.

    Now, let me be clear...

    A friend calling three times to go out on the town doesn’t count in my book.

    Snoozing your alarm clock three times isn’t a message from the Universe that you should sleep in more.

    The grocery store being out of your favorite chips three times is not a sign that you should go on a diet.

    All that is what they call the “stuff that happens while you’re alive.”

    So what counts?

    1) Seemingly random situations and people that happen in quick succession or at the same time.

    2) They are different in their approach and appearance, yet each delivers a similar message. At first, it may seem disconnected, but in relation to the other messages, you begin to notice.

    3) The message you receive is likely something that has been on your mind, keeping you awake a night, and speaks to you. Even though you may not immediately recognize its impact, you find yourself slightly redirected in your search for answers. Your path altered.

    While this is undoubtedly only my description of how I know it when the Universe is ganging up on me, I have learned to allow space for a message to arrive. Whether I realize the impact or not, I have also learned that it always motivates my decisions, choices, and future actions. In other words, things change with little effort.

    My journey is about breaking from the status quo, exploring the possibilities of life, and going with the flow. I bet the Universe is ganging up on your right now - if you’ll only pay attention.

    Does Your Life Have a Happy Ending Jun 24, 2022

    If the book you would write about yourself isn’t who you are, you can start making changes today. That’s how you get a happy ending.

    --

    Does Your Life Have a Happy Ending

    If you could write a book about the person you have become today, would it have a happy ending?

    A good portion of my day is interacting with clients around the world. They are usually upbeat, open to problem-solving, and seeking my advice to help them. Or, as they would say, “help me get out of my way and get my act together. That’s where writing a book comes to mind and a good question from me -

    “Okay. Before we begin, if you were to write a book about yourself in the future, would it have a happy ending?”

    Their answer is always, ”Yes! That’s why I’m here today.”

    My next question is, “If you were to write your book today, what would the answer be?”

    “Hmm… I would say average. Not great. Not bad. Certainly not a book anybody would read.”

    As the conversation continues, I make these points:

    1) All of us get in our own way. That’s how we learn. And we all have our act together until we recognize that we want another act. That’s called growth.

    2) People who live an average life almost always spend more time chasing squirrels and shiny objects than focusing on actions that create the consistent results they want. It's an exhausting way to live.

    3) People who live successfully think more like business people. They implement actions that get results, are sustainable, and grow the economics of the business. In other words, they figure out what works and keep doing it. There is no drifting in the wind.

    Make your own way, figure out what works, and do it again. Simple.

    Speaking of simple…

    If the book you would write about yourself isn’t who you are, you can start making changes today. That’s how you get a happy ending.

    Stop Living Somebody Else's Dreams Jun 23, 2022

    If the book you would write about yourself isn’t who you are, you can start making changes today. That’s how you get a happy ending.

    Stop Living Somebody Else's Dreams

    All I have ever wanted to do is have fun, impact people in a mostly positive way, make them laugh, have a great family and friends, make some money, and not take life too seriously.

    Simple enough.

    But in the over-complicated and widely distracting monkey-see-monkey-do world we live in, it's easy to get what you want and still end up with a superficially satisfying life. In fact, I would suggest such a life is easy to achieve and perfect for anybody willing to get out of bed and join the world.

    Life is averagely good.

    But what if your inner voice is screaming, "there MUST be MORE?"

    Well, there is more. But only if you create it. That may scare you, but it won't if you realize and accept one thing -

    Someone else has created every single experience you have in your day-to-day life.

    Somebody else imagined building the city you call home.

    Somebody else imagined designing the car you drive.

    Somebody else imagined the phone in your pocket.

    That fact is, somebody else woke up and decided to turn their dreams into reality - so that you could live your life inside of their dreams. While that may be fine, maybe it's time that you let others do the same with your dreams? After all, if they can do it, you can do it - right?

    While there is more I can and will cover on this topic, there are three items that a fully actualized adult can do to create any reality of their choosing:

    1) Understand that all success begins with internally motivated actions. You get to decide what you want and you can lead the way. The only permission required is yours.

    2) The level of happiness and success you attain in life is determined by your ability to mine your thoughts, reveal your inner desires, accept them as your truth, and hold yourself accountable for creating what is essential to you in your life.

    3) Every day, you should take time to discern what is important and likely to have a profound effect on your success, survival, and well-being. Then, narrow the focus to what is absolutely necessary and extremely important; essential.

    When you dedicate daily focus to building such a strong level of inner understanding, you will instantly begin creating your new world - and others can start living inside YOUR dreams.

    Levels of Competence Jun 22, 2022

    You will become who you were meant to be when you learn how to get there, do the work, and recognize your achievement.

    Levels of Competence

    When I was young, stupid, and wondering when I would understand life, I often turned to my friend, Larry, for a road map. He always seemed to have what I needed - until the day he passed the torch. He knew I needed more. That’s when he introduced me to Zig Ziglar’s States of Competence:

    1) Stage One is where we begin. We are “Unconscious Incompetent.” We don’t know what we don’t know. Yup.

    2) Stage Two is called “Conscious Incompetent.” I spent a lot of time there. I used to say, “I have no idea what I’m doing - but at least I admit it.”

    3) Stage Three is “Unconscious Competent.” I see that in my work. People who have no idea how good they are.

    4) Stage Four is “Conscious Competent.” That was my goal. I wanted to know what I was doing - and KNOW it!

    Most people continue to another level some call “Conscious competence of unconscious competence.” The ability to recognize and develop Unconscious Competence in others.

    You will become who you were meant to be when you learn how to get there, do the work, and recognize your achievement.

    Understanding and Eliminating Frustration Jun 21, 2022

    Removing blocks takes nothing more than commitment and action. That’s called passion. Nothing can stand in the way of your passion.

    Understanding and Eliminating Frustration

    When life gets in the way, do you get frustrated about being blocked?

    I learned a long time ago that getting blocked is an everyday occurrence. The bigger my goals, the more blocks would arrive. I could either live with endless frustrations or find a better way. It came down to understanding:

    1) Blocks have nothing to do with who you are. Self-inflicted or caused by others, they still have nothing to do with you as a person.

    2) If you want something, there is always a way to get it. Always. You may not like the path. Your ego may get in the way. It may scare you. There is still a way to get what you want.

    3) Removing blocks from your life takes nothing more than commitment and action. That’s called passion. No block can stand up to passion.

    The next time frustration gets in your way, blow it off and keep moving. There is always a way to get what you want

    What Successful People Do

    If you study people who have had success in any area of their life, you will find they have much in common.

    Not only do they follow a set of rules, but they also follow those rules no matter how much life gets in the way.

    What are those rules?

    The person who has the strongest "Why" wins.

    The person who shows up wins.

    The person who shows up on time wins.

    The person who is most persistent wins.

    The person show never assumes wins.

    The person who is the best at what they do wins.

    The person who plans and documents their journey and interactions wins.

    The person who never gives up total control to others wins.

    The person who acceptances responsibility for themselves wins.

    The person who serves the most wins.

    The person who is grateful for everything wins.

    The actions you take automatically become the life you experience. It's essential to be mindful of where you are heading.
