• Goal-Setting Method That Keeps You Average
    Jun 23 2025
    Daily Boost Podcast Show Notes Goal-Setting Method That Keeps You Average June 23, 2025 | Episode - 5121 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description I’m about to make some people mad today, especially if you’re a brand-new certified life coach. We’re diving into why SMART goals might be keeping you average instead of pushing you toward greatness. I believe in goals because your brain is hard-wired for them, but there’s a difference between goals that move you forward and goals that keep you stuck. Today, I’m breaking down the SMART goals framework and showing you why it might not be as effective as you think. Get ready for some truth bombs and a fresh perspective on goal-setting that’ll fire you up. Featured Story Scott’s taking on cardio and core hell week while cutting for his big show in September. An hour of cardio daily, combining long slow burn with VO2 max sessions and HIIT training, plus 20 minutes of core work for seven straight days. But the real story is his take on SMART goals and why they’re designed for average people who want average results. He’s challenging the 50-year-old acronym that everyone swears by but might hold you back from your biggest dreams. Important Points Your brain automatically sets goals every second of the day, and most of what has you off track is because your mind is drawing your focus toward random, unspecific targets. SMART goals work great for average people with average results, but if you want extraordinary outcomes, you need to think beyond frameworks designed for the masses. Time-bound goals can work against you because everything takes three times longer than you think it will, and focusing on outcomes matters more than arbitrary deadlines. Memorable Quotes “I’m a fan of big ass goals. I set big ass goals. I love goals. I am not a fan of SMART goals.” “If you can’t specifically understand what your goal is, you don’t have a goal. You’re a walking generality.” “Who the hell cares what anybody else says? If it’s real to you, go for it.” Scott’s Three-Step Approach Get specific about exactly what you want - not “I want to lose weight” but the exact amount and why it matters to you personally. Focus on measuring your progress rather than measuring your timeline, because the journey matters more than hitting arbitrary deadlines. Believe your goal is realistic for you, regardless of what anyone else thinks, because your reality is what counts in your goal achievement.

  • Raw Coaching Insights From Early Morning Warriors
    Jun 20 2025
    Daily Boost Podcast Show Notes Raw Coaching Insights From Early Morning Warriors June 23, 2025 | Episode - 5120 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description Scott gets real about missing his first podcast in years (hey, it happens!) and dives into the powerful conclusions from his Face Your Passion coaching calls. These aren’t your typical motivational platitudes–they’re raw, authentic insights from high-achievers who show up at 7 AM ready to transform their lives. From redefinition to making things happen, Scott breaks down the simple truths that work when you stop overthinking and start moving. This episode cuts through the fluff and gives you the between-the-lines wisdom that creates real change. Featured Story Scott shares behind-the-scenes moments from his Face Your Passion coaching group–125 calls deep with people aged 30 to 73 who get up early because they’re serious about creating passionate, purposeful lives. He drew these conclusions from the participants, who underwent a fundamental transformation in real time. The magic happens when people are challenged just enough to feel uncomfortable, then break through with insights they didn’t even know they had. It’s coaching gold that reveals how simple truths become life-changing when you’re ready to receive them. Important Points The mind works retrospectively and prospectively–it always asks, “How did last week go?” and “What will you change next week?” to create powerful awareness and forward momentum. Most people lack the clarity to make decisions, which means they can’t take action. You must decide what you want to do before you can do it. Sometimes, you need to stop being yourself if being yourself isn’t working–redefining yourself isn’t wrong; it’s necessary for growth and breakthrough. Memorable Quotes “If you keep moving forward and get things done, life is going to work out okay for you. If you stop moving, it will not work out.” “I’d rather take a chance and kick you in the ass a bit and have you hate me for a minute, love me forever.” “Sometimes the stuff I’m telling you today, simple advice, you go do it whether you like it, no matter how hard it is, you will be rewarded for going through it.” Scott’s Three-Step Approach Ask yourself retrospectively how last week went, then prospectively what you’ll change next week to create what you want. Stop overthinking motivation and tap into a time when you were naturally fired up–model that energy and feeling instead of relying on canned exercises. Decide what you want to do and do it. Stop waiting for perfect clarity and start moving toward your passion, purpose, meaning, and legacy. Connect With Me Search for The Daily Boost on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

  • More Is on the Other Side of Less
    Jun 19 2025
    Daily Boost Podcast Show Notes More Is on the Other Side of Less June 19, 2025 | Episode 5119 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description Fresh off a Face Your Passion coaching call, Scott brings that fired-up energy straight to you in this spontaneous episode. He dives into the simple truth that stops most people from achieving what they want: they don’t just make it happen. Scott cuts through all the noise and gets real about what’s holding you back. It’s not about adding more tactics or strategies to your life. It’s about clearing out the clutter and giving up the stuff that isn’t serving you. This episode will challenge you to stop doing what you think you’re supposed to do and start living for what fires you up. Featured Story Scott shares insights from his recent Face Your Passion coaching call where client Chip dropped a simple but powerful phrase: “Let’s make it happen.” This moment sparked a conversation that had everyone taking notes and revealed the fundamental difference between people who dream and people who achieve. The story illustrates how the most successful people have figured out the really important, simple things. They don’t get caught up in endless learning and research. They clear the path and take action. Important Points Whatever you want more of in life - satisfaction, happiness, success, freedom - is on the other side of giving up less important things. Coaches spend most of their time clearing obstacles, not adding more, because once the clutter is removed, everything opens up. Stop doing what you think you’re supposed to do and start doing what fires you up, because the “messy middle” between teenage freedom and retirement dreams will bring you down. Memorable Quotes “More is on the other side of less.” “Let’s make it happen - that’s what fires me up, and you could see people taking notes when I said it.” “It’s not about putting more in. It’s about taking stuff away, and once we get it out of the way, everything opens up.” Scott’s Three-Step Approach Realize what’s going on in your life right now instead of just coasting through your daily routine. Identify what you’re doing because someone else said you should, then stop doing those things that aren’t serving your proper goals. Clear the clutter, give up the garbage, and eliminate the stinking thinking that’s holding you back from what you want. Connect With Me Search for The Daily Boost on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

  • Why Plan B Is Sabotaging Your Plan A Success
    Jun 18 2025
    Daily Boost Podcast Show Notes Why Plan B Is Sabotaging Your Plan A Success June 18, 2025 | Episode 5118 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description Scott dives into a Southern phrase that perfectly captures why so many people never reach their big dreams. “Fixing to get ready” isn’t procrastination—it’s something worse. It’s the endless preparation that keeps you stuck in the starting blocks while your real goals sit waiting. With his signature fired-up energy, Scott challenges you to stop building the perfect foundation and start walking the dirt road to your empire. Sometimes the scariest thing isn’t failure—it’s realizing you’ve been preparing for a life you never actually lived. Featured Story Scott shares a conversation with a talented friend who dreams of becoming a famous speaker and TV personality. Instead of charging toward that vision, his friend got trapped in the “fixing to get ready” mindset—perfecting websites, building systems, and handling a thousand tasks before pursuing what really matters. This story hits home because we’ve all been there. We convince ourselves we need the perfect setup before we can chase our dreams. Scott’s message is clear: the foundation-building never ends, but your passion can drive you forward right now. Important Points The “fixing to get ready” trap keeps you busy with preparation while your real dreams collect dust. When you have a vision big enough to taste and feel, motivation becomes automatic—you don’t need to manufacture it. Real commitment means refusing Plan B and sitting on the beach until your Plan A opportunity comes along. Memorable Quotes “When you have a what that’s big enough, I think you do it automatically. I think you get out of bed ready to go. That’s the magic of motivation.” “You don’t need to build the empire first. You need to build the dirt road to the empire.” “The more you dig in and stay in your zone of genius, the thing that drives you, the thing that gets you awake in the middle of the night—not because you’re stressed, but because you’re excited.” Scott’s Three-Step Approach Identify what gets you so excited you wake up at 3 in the morning, wanting to make things happen. Stop justifying the thousand distractions that keep you from your real goal. Model what others have already done successfully instead of reinventing the wheel.

  • When Your Routine Stops Working for You
    Jun 17 2025
    Daily Boost Podcast Show Notes When Your Routine Stops Working for You June 17, 2025 | Episode - 5117 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description I share a coaching conversation that revealed an important truth about routines - they work great until they don’t. In this episode, I explore why the habits and patterns that once served you can become frustrations. You’ll discover why your brain loves routines but also why it resists change, even when change is what you need. I break down the natural lifecycle of habits and give you permission to develop your routines when they stop serving your bigger vision. Featured Story I got busted by my wife for overfeeding our pets while she was out of town. As a “former fat guy,” I couldn’t resist giving the dogs and cat those extra spoonfuls of food - leading to some very telling evidence when she returned. This little confession leads me into something deeper - why we keep defending our routines even when they’re not working for us anymore. Important Points I explain why routines are essential - your brain loves operating on autopilot to save energy, but good and bad patterns can happen at the same time. I share how new routines work great at first, but over time you felt frustration as life changes while you’re still sticking to outdated patterns. I reveal the key to breaking free - asking yourself whether your current routine serves your bigger vision or holds you back. Memorable Quotes “I do not lean backwards. I don’t allow people to talk me backwards. If you are negative, I don’t listen to you.” “You’re running on autopilot most of the time. You are. Naturally, it’s not you. You’re not doing anything wrong.” “A routine will get you where you want to go. Find the good ones. Lock it in and go do it. But expect it’s going to be iterated.” Scott’s Three-Step Approach I show you how to recognize when frustration signals that your current routine isn’t serving your bigger vision anymore. I challenge you to decide today to put a new, better routine in place rather than defending patterns that no longer work. I encourage you to embrace change as constant and be willing to iterate your routines as life develops around you. Connect With Me Search for The Daily Boost on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

  • Fire Yourself Up When Nothing Seems to Motivate You
    Jun 16 2025
    Daily Boost Podcast Show Notes Fire Yourself Up When Nothing Seems to Motivate You June 16, 2025 | Episode - 5116 Host: Scott Smith Scott tackles the age-old question: How do you get fired up when you can’t seem to motivate yourself? A friend’s honest confession leads to a powerful conversation about finding that unstoppable feeling we all crave. Scott shares his three-step approach to reigniting your passion and breaking free from the comfortable trap that’s keeping you stuck. This isn’t about external motivation—it’s about firing yourself up from the inside out. Scott recounts a conversation with a friend who admitted he couldn’t motivate or inspire himself, but wanted to feel fired up about his business. The friend’s story about working in airplane hangars during high school while his peers were out having fun reveals the key to finding that unstoppable drive we all need. You need something bigger than yourself—a dream so exciting that people think you’re crazy for pursuing it. You must clear the clutter from your life, even the good things that are keeping you comfortable but trapped. Once you have the big dream and clear the obstacles, action becomes natural because you’ll run toward what you want. “You have to motivate yourself from the inside. I’m gonna give you some ideas, hopefully to fire you up.” “It’s got to be bigger than you. It’s got to be so exciting you can’t hardly wait to get there.” “The trick is to click. When it clicks inside of you, everything changes.” Find something bigger than you—a dream so interesting it makes you look up and feel excited about the future. Clear the clutter from your life by giving up things that are keeping you comfortable but trapped. Take action and run toward your goal because once you have clarity and remove obstacles, momentum becomes natural. Search for The Daily Boost on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

  • Are You the Arsonist Setting Your Own Fires?
    Jun 13 2025
    Daily Boost Podcast Show Notes Are You the Arsonist Setting Your Own Fires? June 13, 2025 | Episode 5115 Host: Scott Smith Scott tackles one of his favorite topics: the problems you're causing yourself. Most people spend their days running around putting out fires, but what if you're the one setting them? In this eye-opening episode, Scott reveals why your life feels like nonstop drama and stress, and how to break the cycle of creating your own chaos. This isn't about perfection—it's about recognizing patterns that keep you stuck. Scott shares practical insights on how to stop being your own worst enemy and create the peaceful life you actually want. Scott shares his experience coaching people who feel constantly overwhelmed by putting out fires in their lives. The revelation comes when he asks a simple question: "Did you set those fires?" The silence that follows tells the whole story. Most people are unknowingly acting as both the arsonist and the firefighter in their own lives, creating drama just to solve it. If your life is nonstop drama, stress, and chaos, there's a good chance you are the cause, even if you don't want to see it that way. Living with your hair on fire keeps you so busy that years go by wondering why you can't get what you want in life. When you stop creating unnecessary chaos, you'll find a quiet life—and that's when the good stuff happens. "If you're putting out fires, you're a fireman. But if you're running around setting fires, you're an arsonist." "You are 100% in charge of any action you choose. You chose it. It's yours. Choose good ones." "When you stop all the craziness, you leave a hole—a hole called peace. That's where the good stuff happens." Accept that you're probably causing a good amount of your own drama and stress instead of blaming external circumstances. Stop doing anything that results in more chaos knocking at your door and embrace the quiet space you create. Hold that peaceful space and replace chaotic habits with something good, even if it means doing nothing while you figure it out. Search for The Daily Boost on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

  • Run Your Life Like a Business With a Positive ROI
    Jun 12 2025
    Daily Boost Podcast Show Notes Run Your Life Like a Business With a Positive ROI June 12, 2025 | Episode - 5114 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description Want to transform your life and actually see results? I’m sharing my four-step approach to running your life like a business to get a positive return on investment in everything you do. After 20 years and over 5,000 episodes, I’ve learned that success comes down to treating your personal growth like a profitable business. No more spinning your wheels or ending up with less than you started with. Featured Story Scott opens up about a vulnerable moment when his wife forgot to make his lunch before leaving for an appointment, making him feel like a three-year-old asking “What am I going to eat, mommy?” This honest story leads into a powerful discussion about how businesses require positive ROI, and your life should too. Just like a business can’t survive losing money, you shouldn’t invest time and energy into activities that leave you worse off than when you started. Important Points Every business must generate profit to survive, and your life should operate the same way - you need positive returns on your investments of time and energy. Most people have experienced ending up with less than they started with in some area of life, but unlike businesses that can fail completely, you have the ability to switch gears and change direction when needed. The key to success lies in measuring your progress consistently, just like weighing yourself daily when losing weight, because “if you can’t measure it, you can’t succeed.” Memorable Quotes “Do more of what you love and less of what you don’t. That’s it.” “If you can’t measure it, you can’t succeed. You can only get where you want to go if you know where you’re going.” “Life is better when you have a positive return, a positive ROI in everything that you do.” Scott’s Three-Step Approach Decide what you do when you’re living a happy life and be very specific. Get in touch with what truly makes you happy - it’s probably simpler than you think and something you might not want to admit right now. Be flexible in your approach, find what works, lock it in, refine it if necessary, and keep doing it. Expect detours and changes, but stay committed to what consistently works for you. Set benchmarks, measure your progress, and when you miss milestones, immediately adjust and get back on track. Create key performance indicators for your life and use them to stay accountable to your goals. Connect With Me Search for The Daily Boost on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
