Three Steps to Change Anything

June 10, 2025 | Episode 5113

Host: Scott Smith

Episode Description

Change doesn’t have to be complicated, even though we make it that way. In this episode, I break down the three essential steps you need to transform anything in your life. Whether you’re stuck in analysis paralysis or overwhelmed by too many options, these steps will give you the clarity and direction you’ve been missing.

I share why bad things change while good changes take more intentional steps, plus a personal story about my radio DJ days and how the podcasting world has flipped since 2006.

Featured Story

Scott reflects on his transition from radio DJ to podcast host, sharing how people once questioned his move to podcasting back in 2006. Now, 20 years later, former radio colleagues are calling him for advice on getting into the podcast world. It’s a perfect example of how dramatically things can change when you stick to your vision.

Important Points

Most people struggle with change because they don’t know what they want, making this the most difficult but essential first step.

Success models and frameworks are everywhere, but you can only find the right roadmap when you have crystal-clear clarity on your specific outcome.

Consistent, disciplined action toward your goal should happen every minute you’re awake because every minute you’re not moving forward is a minute you’re not living the life you want.

Memorable Quotes

“Bad things change. Something bad happens, you change. Never going to do that again. Good things change slower than that.”

“Every minute you’re not bold is a minute you’re not living what you want to live.”

“You’ve been around living in this life a long time. You’re smart enough to do this.”

Scott’s Three-Step Approach

Get crystal clear on what you want - this is the most difficult step and may take weeks of honest self-reflection to figure out.

Find a framework or roadmap by modeling others who have achieved what you want, but only after you know your specific outcome.

Take consistent, disciplined action toward your goal every single day without procrastination or hesitation.
