Why a big-ass goal beats small to-dos

Daily Boost Podcast Show Notes

Napoleon Hill’s 30-Day Life Sprint

September 26, 2025 | Episode 5190

Host: Scott Smith

Episode Description

Got will? Not the legal kind - the fire in your belly kind.

Scott digs into why most people think changing your life in 30 days is silly. Plot twist: maybe those "silly" people are onto something. When you've got will and you know the way, everything becomes possible.

This isn't about changing everything at once. It's about focusing that successful mind of yours on what really matters and giving it everything you've got for 30 days straight.

Featured Story

Picture this: Scott realizes he's not the first genius to figure out the 30-day sprint thing.

Turns out millions of people born before him already knew this stuff. But here's what got him - watching folks on coaching calls and around the podcast, he kept seeing the same pattern. People get an idea, get inspired, set a 30-day deadline, and boom.

It happens almost every single time. Like when you're moving out and have to return those keys in two hours. Somehow, you get it done.

That's when Scott knew he was onto something universal about how we actually create change.

Important Points

Every major change in your life probably happened during a focused 30-day sprint period.

Small goals feel meaningless, so we don't chase them - but big-ass goals get us fired up.

The "impossible" becomes possible when you squeeze it into a timeline and refuse excuses.

Memorable Quotes

"Call me silly, but I think everything you have done in your life has happened because you had a bit of a sprint, a 30-day sprint, probably."

"Most people set small little goals, they call it their to-do list. And because of that, it has no real meaning."

"The impossible simply becomes possible when you are focused and you squeeze it down into a timeline."

Scott's Three-Step Approach

Set a major definite purpose (aka big-ass goal) - make it matter enough to chase.

Stop the negative self-talk and list every reason you WILL succeed.

Decide nothing will stop you for 30 days - tired doesn't count as an excuse.
