9-Question System That Changes Everything
August 26, 2025 | Episode 5167
Host: Scott Smith
Episode Description
Scott's fired up about a tool that most people won't actually use, but those who do will experience a complete awakening. Meet the daily awareness diary - not your typical journal, but a powerful 9-question system that reveals patterns you never knew existed. In just 9 minutes each morning, you'll gain crystal-clear awareness of what's really happening in your life. Fair warning: you might discover some things that'll make you say, "Man, why do I keep doing that?" But that's exactly where the magic begins.
Featured Story
Scott introduces his cornerstone coaching tool - the daily awareness diary that every single client starts with. Within just a couple of weeks, everything becomes clear. This isn't about checking items off a list; it's about creating what you actually want. From retrospection to personal affirmations, each question builds on the last, creating a powerful awareness stack that reveals both your blind spots and your untapped potential. The result? You'll start spotting patterns that demand change, and you can't stare truth in the face without taking action.
Important Points
The daily awareness diary consists of nine specific questions designed to create awareness, not overwhelm you with homework - just capture the moment in 30-60 seconds per question.
The system combines retrospection (how did yesterday go?) with prospection (what do I want to create today?) to help you recognize patterns and make intentional changes.
Pre-planned responses eliminate surprises by thinking through potential interactions in advance, giving you control over your day and removing the element of being caught off guard.
Memorable Quotes
"You can't become aware of stuff you want to change in your life and keep looking at it, staring it straight in the face and not change it."
"You are a human, which means you are unique. You can prospectively create things every single day."
"After about 30 days of doing this, people look back and go, 'Wow, look, I have 30 affirmations personally written by me for me.'"
Scott's Three-Step Approach
Start each morning with retrospection by asking, "How did yesterday go?" - focus on whether you created what you wanted rather than just checking off tasks.
Move into prospection by asking, "What do I want to create today?" - remember, you're uniquely human and can literally create experiences, relationships, or feelings.
Conclude with a personal affirmation that captures everything from your nine questions, creating a powerful daily reminder of your progress and potential.
