When Fear Blocks Your Passion Path - Live Coaching Session

July 10, 2025 | Episode 5134

Host: Scott Smith

Episode Description

Ever feel like you're walking through tall grass with a machete, trying to find your way? You're not alone. In this special live coaching session, I hop on a call with my longtime client Chip to tackle the real stuff that keeps us stuck. We're talking about the fear that creeps in when you're 60 (or heading there), the scary choice of going all-in on what you love, and why cutting through the weeds might be exactly what you need.

This isn't your typical podcast format - it's raw, real coaching in action. Get ready to eavesdrop on a conversation that'll make you want to face your own passion head-on.

Featured Story

Sometimes the best content happens when you least expect it. During a Face Your Passion coaching call, my client Chip was dropping truth bombs about transformation and identity. I literally said, "Hold on, let me push record - you're the podcast today." Three attempts later (technology, am I right?), we captured this authentic conversation about what it really takes to transform sales teams and your life.

Chip's honesty about feeling scared and confused while "cutting weeds to see what's in front of him" will hit you right in the gut. His breakthrough moment about going all-in on his identity is pure gold.

Important Points

Fear of pursuing your passion often comes from comparing future goals to past methods that didn't work.

"Going all-in on your identity" means eliminating everything that's not serving your ultimate transformation goal.

People don't want change or improvement - they want complete transformation and the promise of what's on the other side.

Memorable Quotes

"Activity precedes clarity, but if you're going to do activity, you also have to say, well, listen, at least I'm searching for something."

"Nobody wants change. They all want transformation. Nobody wants an improvement. They all want new."

"It's not about wanting to find it. It's about having the courage to do it."

Scott's Three-Step Approach

Define what "impact" actually means to you instead of throwing around vague terms that sound good but mean nothing.

Eliminate the busy work and courses that aren't directly serving your transformation goal - be ruthless about what stays and what goes.

Paint a clear picture of the complete transformation you're promising, not just the process you're offering.
