    Why Your Life Is Stuck in a Personal Recession
    Nov 10 2026
    Daily Boost Podcast Why Your Life Is Stuck in a Personal Recession November 10, 2026 | Episode 5587 Host: Scott Smith Go beyond the boost! Join my Skool group at https://faceyourpassion.com. Episode Description Every country tracks its GDP. I care about your PDP, your personal domestic product. How much money you make, how much freedom you have, how many great relationships fill your life. When you've got all that, you feel great. When you don't, you're in a recession. That doesn't feel good. Today I'm showing you how to run your life like your own little government. Set the demand, build the capacity, get efficient, and keep watching the numbers. It's not political. It's the simplest system I know for closing the gap between where you are and where you want to be. Featured Story I've done this show every single day for 20 years, over 5,600 episodes. People ask me how I keep it up. I built the capacity a long time ago. Then I got efficient with it, year after year, until doing a show felt like breathing. No drama. It just flows. But now everybody's doing video. And the minute I say, " Hey, let's do a video, the whole equation changes. I have to build new capacity without screwing up my life along the way. That's the trap most of us fall into. The life you have right now probably can't produce the life you want next. Something has to change first. Important Points * Knowing what you want is the demand in your life. Nobody else gets to set it for you, so set it yourself and own it. * In business, don't create demand. Find the demand that's already there, like standing in a trout stream full of fish. * Productivity is just efficiency. Build a system that takes out the drama, so the things you want flow without worry. Memorable Quotes * The life you have right now probably cannot produce the life you want next. Something has to change to close the gap. * It's your life. Nobody else gets to set the demand for you. You get to do it for yourself. If you're smart, you will. * If you've identified the demand in your life, you must create the capacity to meet it. If not, you'll never get it. Scott's Three-Step Approach * Write down exactly what you want for your life. That's your demand, and you're the only one who gets to set it. * Build the capacity to deliver it. Name the skill, money, or time you're missing and start closing that gap today. * Make it efficient, then track it daily. Check results against what you expected and adjust before you fall behind.

  • Why Most People Never Get What They Want

    Why Most People Never Get What They Want
    Nov 9 2026
    Daily Boost Podcast Why Most People Never Get What They Want November 9, 2026 | Episode 5586 Host: Scott Smith Go beyond the boost! Join my Skool group at https://faceyourpassion.com. Episode Description Most people never get what they want. Not because they're lazy. Not because they're unlucky. They don't know exactly what they want. And I don't mean the big stuff. I mean the little stuff. What time you want to get out of bed. How you want to manage your day. Today I'm walking you through the five rules I pull up on almost every coaching call I have. They're simple, and that's why they work. Know what you want, then build the skills, clear the road, and stay on the direct path. Write them down and keep them close. Featured Story Last Tuesday was election night. Half the country was thrilled. The other half thought the world was falling apart. I went to bed at four in the morning. My dog woke me up. Dad, gotta go out. So I got up, let him out, and stepped on a thorn in the backyard. Hurt my foot. I came back inside, and the cat pooped in the living room. Then I couldn't fall back asleep. And lying there, it hit me. I don't need to live my life according to a used car salesman who calls himself a politician. Doesn't matter who won. My dog still has to go potty. Life goes on. Important Points * You can't get what you want until you name it. Get specific about the little stuff, like when you want to wake up. * Wanting something badly isn't enough. If you don't own the skills to produce it, factor in the time to learn them. * Do the most direct thing today. In business, that's finding new prospects, every single day, until they become customers. Memorable Quotes * If you don't know what you want, you can't get anywhere. Until you do, you'll get whatever comes your way. * It's not hard once you own the skills to produce it. So you've got to know what you want and own the skills to produce it. * Sometimes you've got to bring up the dynamite and blow it up to get through it. And sometimes it's just a mindset. Scott's Three-Step Approach * Write down exactly what you want, including the little stuff, until you can name it without stopping to think. * List the skills you'll need to produce it, and give yourself a couple of months to learn the ones you're missing. * Clear out everything that doesn't lead there, do the one most direct action each day, then track it and adjust. Chapters 0:15 - Election week and a country split right down the middle 0:30 - A thorn, a dog, and a cat that pooped in the living room 1:12 - Why 99% of my coaching group keeps showing up 4:08 - Rule one: you have to know exactly what you want 4:22 - Skills, dynamite, and the direct path to your goal Connect With Me Search for the Daily Boost on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, and Spotify Join my Face Your Passion Skool group: https://faceyourpassion.com. * Email: support@motivationtomove.com * Main Website: https://motivationtomove.com * YouTube: https://youtube.com/dailyboostpodcast * Instagram: https://instagram.com/heyscottsmith * Facebook Page: https://facebook.com/motivationtomove * Facebook Group: https://dailyboostpodcast.com/facebook Learn more about your ad choices.

  • So Good They Can't Ignore You: How to Sell Without Selling

    So Good They Can't Ignore You: How to Sell Without Selling
    Nov 6 2026
    Daily Boost Podcast So Good They Can't Ignore You: How to Sell Without Selling November 6, 2026 | Episode 5585 Host: Scott Smith Go beyond the boost! Join my Skool group at https://faceyourpassion.com. Episode Description You're selling all day, every day. Your ideas, yourself, your next move. Don't run and hide. A lot of people figure out what they want to do with their lives and then stall because they can't sell it. They decide they need a business, then freeze at the word sales. Today I'm flipping that. Steve Martin told performers to be so good they can't ignore you. I'll show you why that's the first step in sales, what a lifetime in radio taught me about marketing, and how Tesla sold me a car without selling. Build something people love. Featured Story I asked for a demo ride in a Tesla. The guy said he'd check if they had one. Then we walked out front, he tapped his phone, and the car drove itself up to us. We drove about three miles. He showed me full self-driving and took me back to the store. Then he got out and said, " See you in an hour. Have some fun. So I did. I pushed the button and let it drive. When I came back, I said We're buying this car. I'd never owned an EV. It broke every rule I'd ever known about buying a car. He barely sold me anything. Important Points * Everything is sales. You're persuading someone every day, so accept it and get good at selling yourself and your ideas. * Be so good they can't ignore you. When you stop doing what you do best, people stop listening, and the money slows down. * Great marketing makes selling almost unneeded. A dynamic demonstration lets people fall in love before you ever ask. Memorable Quotes * Everything in life is sales. It doesn't have to be money, but every day you're selling or buying something. * I get in trouble when I try not to do what I do best. That's when people stop listening to the whole thing. * I know what I do. I do it as well as I can. If I keep doing that, it keeps working. Be so good they can't ignore you. Scott's Three-Step Approach * Pick the one thing you do better than almost anyone and decide that's what your business or your work is built on. * Make it so good your customer falls in love with it. Not everybody will. Build it for the people who get it right away. * Then show it instead of pitching it. Give people a demo, a taste, or a test drive, and let the work close the sale. Chapters 0:15 - Why I dumped Facebook and made Skool my social home 4:06 - Everything in life is sales, even when it's not money 5:56 - Steve Martin's advice: be so good they can't ignore you 7:12 - A young DJ, a peddler, and a $20 live endorsement 8:56 - Elon Musk on great products and the companies behind them 10:14 - The Tesla test drive where the salesman just walked off 12:30 - Funding your passion by doing what you love really well Connect With Me Search for the Daily Boost on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, and Spotify Join my Face Your Passion Skool group: https://faceyourpassion.com. * Email: support@motivationtomove.com * Main Website: https://motivationtomove.com * YouTube: https://youtube.com/dailyboostpodcast * Instagram: https://instagram.com/heyscottsmith * Facebook Page: https://facebook.com/motivationtomove * Facebook Group: https://dailyboostpodcast.com/facebook Learn more about your ad choices.
