Yesterday we talked about fixing what's broken. Today I'm giving you the exact three steps I use with every single client to make that happen.

You already know what needs to be fixed. The problem is everything feels confusing and overwhelming when it's bouncing around in your head. But when you dump it all on the table and see it clearly, suddenly you can't hold yourself back.

These three steps work because they take you from confused to clear to unstoppable. No choice about it. This is how we fix things.

Featured Story

Every time I work with a new client, there's something I'm going to make them do. No choice. They're going to do it my way, and it might be uncomfortable. They might not want to admit what's there, but I'm going to make them do it anyway because it's the foundation of everything that comes after. We start with a massive inventory. Imagine a big table where you toss every piece of your life puzzle. Your finances, your dreams, your relationships, all of it. The stuff that sucks usually comes first. Everything that keeps you awake at night goes on that table. We don't try to fix anything yet. We just dump it out. And then something amazing happens.

Important Points

Taking inventory means dumping everything on the table without editing. Every resource, obstacle, and dream revealed.

You already know what needs fixing. Until you see it clearly on the table, it's not blinking bright enough yellow yet.

When you see life as it is and build a strategy from there, you almost can't hold yourself back. That's pure motivation.

Memorable Quotes

"You already know what's wrong. Until you put it on the table, it's not blinking bright enough to say caution."

"Everything confusing you right now will be laid out in front of you. It's not as bad as you thought. You can do this."

"Don't go for the motivation first. Go for the fix first by getting the inventory you need and seeing life as it is."

Scott's Three-Step Approach

Take a massive inventory and dump every single thing in your life onto the table without editing or fixing anything.

Strategize by sorting through what's there, throwing away 80%, keeping the 20% that matters, and building your roadmap.

Stand up, take a step, repeat. Once you see clearly where you are, the action becomes almost automatic and unstoppable.
