    Stop Setting Fake Deadlines
    Jul 17 2025
    Daily Boost Podcast Show Notes Stop Setting Fake Deadlines July 17, 2025 | Episode 5139 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description Scott dives into why most people spend their entire lives doing things they don't like—and how to flip that script. He shares a powerful conversation with a client who set a goal with a major financial penalty, revealing why fear-based motivation backfires every time. Using his signature pilot metaphors, Scott explains the difference between "short runway" and "long runway" thinking. You'll discover why self-imposed penalties don't work and how to create real urgency that actually moves you forward. Featured Story A client set an ambitious business goal with a massive financial penalty if he didn't hit his deadline. Sounds motivating, right? Wrong. Scott breaks down exactly why this approach fails and what happens when you realize your "short runway" is actually much longer than you think. The truth? When push comes to shove, most of us have way more runway than we admit. Scott reveals how one client thought he had nine months to make his business work—until he realized he actually had 15 years of assets to fall back on. Important Points Fear-based motivation only works when the threat is real, not self-imposed—most penalties we create for ourselves aren't actually that scary when we dig deeper. Your "runway" is probably longer than you think—when you factor in all your resources, assets, and options, that urgent deadline might not be so urgent after all. Compressed deadlines work when they're genuine, but self-imposed fake urgency just makes you ease up on the power when it matters most. Memorable Quotes "It's amazing how many people spend their entire life doing things they don't like to do, and I don't believe in that." "Fear does not motivate you—it only motivates if it's real." "When it gets real, when you know you're going to crash and burn, you will hit your deadline every single time." Scott's Three-Step Approach Calculate your real runway by listing all your assets, resources, and backup options—stop fooling yourself about how urgent your timeline actually is. Replace fear-based penalties with exciting rewards that pull you forward—find something big and fun that makes you want to sprint toward your goal. Make your deadlines real by creating genuine consequences, not arbitrary ones you can easily escape when things get tough. Connect With Me Search for The Daily Boost on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

  • You Already Have Permission to Go For It

    You Already Have Permission to Go For It
    Jul 16 2025
    Daily Boost Podcast Show Notes You Already Have Permission to Go For It July 16, 2025 | Episode - 5138 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description After 20 years of coaching thousands of people, I figured out something powerful this morning that'll blow your mind. Every single successful person I've worked with has one thing in common - and I bet you're living it right now. They're brilliant, experienced, and incredibly successful on the surface. But here's the kicker - they're also feeling suffocated at the same time. They're stuck building other people's dreams instead of their own. The solution? It's simpler than you think, and I'm firing you up to take action today. Featured Story I shared my personal breaking point from 2006 when everything changed. I was stuck in TV and radio, making decent money but feeling completely lost. Then life hit me like a freight train - my wife Cheryl got cancer and was gone in less than 100 days at just 46 years old. That moment taught me life's way too short to spend another minute doing something that doesn't drive you. I refused to arrive at retirement never having really lived, so I started the Daily Boost and began helping people stop waiting and start living. Important Points Most successful people are stuck building other people's dreams at their own expense, creating a feeling of being successful yet suffocated simultaneously. Every person I've coached over 20 years has needed the same thing - permission from someone to say it's okay to go after what they really want. There are two critical areas you must master: facing your passion and funding your passion, because if you can't figure out how to pay for it, you won't do it. Memorable Quotes "Most people are stuck building the dreams of other people at their expense." "You have my permission. You have God's permission. You have the universe's permission to do what you feel you need to do." "If you don't know your purpose, your purpose is to find your purpose." Scott's Three-Step Approach Give yourself permission right now to pursue what makes you smile - that thing you already know you want to do but haven't acted on. Find someone who will support your decision and help you work through the practical details of making it happen. Focus on solving both facing your passion and funding your passion simultaneously, because you need both to make it work. Connect With Me Search for The Daily Boost on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
