About this listen

 You know what you want. You're clear on that now. But you just don't know how to get there. You need the map, right? Most people want me to tell them exactly how to get from here to there. And honestly? You need a bridge. Not a vision board. Not a prayer. A real foundation on both sides with a solid plan connecting them. I share the Hoover Dam story that changed how I think about building anything in life — whether it's a new business, a relationship, or chasing a passion you can't shake. The secret isn't knowing exactly where you're going. It's building a peaceful base where you are right now, drafting where you want to go, and constructing the roadmap to get there. If you've been freaking out because life is messy or you spent your last credit card dollar on a course promising billions in 30 days, this episode brings you back to earth. Featured Story Years ago I was standing on top of the Hoover Dam. Pretty awe-inspiring. One of the biggest engineering marvels in history. But something else caught my attention. The new bridge going up high above the canyon. They were building a bypass, which made total sense to me. Why drive cars and semi-trucks over a dam holding billions of gallons of water? But I grew up in the seventies. Most of what we did then made no sense. As I watched that bridge construction, I realized something. The process was identical to getting what I wanted in life. Foundation on one side. Foundation on the other side. Build the span between them. That's how you cross any canyon. Important Points Most people know what they want after gaining clarity, but they just don't know how to get there — you need a bridge with foundations on both sides. Build a peaceful present base first before chasing the future, which means getting bills paid, relationships solid, and feeling strong where you are today. You can't know exactly where you're going until you start because you've never been there before — anyone who claims otherwise is lying to you. Memorable Quotes "God's got a plan for you, but he gave you free will. He's like, okay, here's the big plan. Here's the secret. I'm not going to tell you what it is or when it's going to happen." "I am not arrogant enough to think that I can head off in a direction of doing something I've never done before and know exactly how I'm going to get there." "How many times have you spent your last money on a credit card and you got to make a billion dollars in 30 days or it's not going to work for you? It doesn't work." Scott's Three-Step Approach Build your peaceful present base. Get bills paid, relationships solid, and everything settled where you are right now before charging into the future. Draft your peaceful future base. Take classes, get certifications, expand your network — start building the other side even though it's just a draft. Construct the bridge between them. Create your roadmap, your steps, your framework that gets you from here to there without falling into the river.
