 Episode Description Scott gives you ultimate freedom today. Permission to build your dream in private. Without telling anyone. Without asking for permission. Without performing for an audience. This week, you discovered your internal mission, identified the 80% stealing your vision, learned the one question that filters everything, and took control of your agenda. Today brings the final piece—protecting your vision by practicing privately until you're ready to share publicly. Two clients got more done in three days than they had in three months. Their secret? Nobody knew what they were working on. They just worked. Scott reveals why every successful person he knows does the same thing—and why the holiday season is the perfect time to go dark and get busy. Featured Story Scott got two messages from clients after the holiday weekend. First message: "I decided to spend the weekend practicing what I do in private so I'll be praised in public. I didn't tell anyone what I was working on. I just worked on it. I got more done in three days than in the last three months." Second message: "I completed a new project over the weekend and I'm heading in a completely new direction." Scott was stunned. "I didn't even know you were working on a project. Why didn't you mention it?" She said, "I know. I'm learning. Nobody needs to know what I'm doing. I just did it." Scott does a ton of coaching. Dozens of people every single week. One thing has become crystal clear—people need permission. He gives them permission to go do something. Pull out their laptop this weekend and write their book. Work on that project. Build that thing. And they do it. Every time. Here's what Scott learned: Close the door. Do what Scott would do. Get it done. Then show up and say, "Hey, look what I did." That's the secret of every successful person he knows. Important Points There's a massive difference between secrecy and privacy—secrecy is hiding because you're ashamed, privacy is protecting because you're wise. Share your vision with everyone before it's fully formed, and people start redefining it in real time, turning your dream into their vision. The holiday season is when high performers get busy because everyone else is distracted—you'll close the door and work while they shop for deals. Memorable Quotes "Nobody needs to know what I'm doing. I just did it." "Secrecy is hiding because you're ashamed. Privacy is protecting because you're wise." "When everybody else is busy and looking the other direction and isn't poking their nose in your business—that's when you get things done." Scott's Three-Step Approach Practice privately until you're ready to share with the world—nobody needs to know what you're doing until you're ready. Do not tell people what you're doing this weekend—just do it while everyone else is busy looking the other direction. Use the holiday season to go dark and get busy while others are distracted—come back in January and blow their minds.
