In today's episode, Scott shares a powerful technique he learned from a martial arts instructor that can instantly change your state and flood your body with motivation-fueling dopamine. You'll discover why being your own best cheerleader might be the most important skill you develop this year.Featured StoryScott shares his experience witnessing a man in a hotel hallway repeatedly saying "yes, yes, yes" to pump himself up before a meeting. This real-world example highlights how we can physically and emotionally get ourselves "in state" to perform at our best. Scott connects this to the science of anchoring and dopamine release that powers our motivation to move forward, even when no one else is there to encourage us.Key TakeawaysRelying on external motivation feels good, but developing internal motivation techniques gives you power over your emotional state anytime, anywhere.The PYOTB (Pat Yourself On The Back/Butt) method combines physical movement with positive self-talk to create a powerful motivational anchor.Consistent use of these state-changing techniques creates stronger neural connections, making it easier to shift your emotional state instantly when needed.Memorable Quotes"When you're in a funk, you may as well make it funky.""You take dopamine and discipline, the double Ds of life.""Without dopamine, you're a slug on a couch.

Daily Boost Podcast Show NotesStop Managing Your Calendar (Do This Instead)April 9, 2025 | Episode - 5068Host: Scott SmithEpisode DescriptionAre you letting your calendar run your life? In this eye-opening episode, Scott challenges the modern obsession with packed schedules and reveals why the most successful people focus on the spaces between appointments. You'll discover why claiming 100% of your time as your own first—before allocating it to others—is the real secret to higher performance, greater creativity, and a more fulfilling life.Featured StoryScott shares his conversation with a client who was shocked to see only three appointments on Scott's daily calendar. The revelation? Scott focuses on the unscheduled time—his invisible appointments with himself. While most people concentrate on their meetings and obligations, the real magic happens when you value and protect the space between scheduled commitments.Key TakeawaysYou already own 100% of your time—it's yours to allocate, not something to be managed or controlled by others.The most creative, productive, and high-performing people prioritize the "default mode network" where your brain can wander freely.People who make and keep invisible appointments with themselves become difference makers who lead rather than follow.Memorable Quotes"Time is your most valuable asset. It should never be allocated to anything other than what is the most important thing in your life.""You already have all the freedom you could ever possibly have to do anything you want to do.""People who make and keep invisible appointments with themselves are the difference makers around us. They're not chasing the crowd. They're leading the way."Scott's Three-Step ApproachRecognize that 100% of your day is already your time—claim it first before allocating it to others.Create "invisible appointments" with yourself that you value as highly as meetings with others.Allow your mind space to enter the default mode network where creativity and high performance naturally occur.Connect With MeSearch for The Daily Boost on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.Email: support@motivationtomove.comMain Website: https://motivationtomove.comYouTube: https://youtube.com/dailyboostpodcastFacebook Page: https://facebook.com/motivationtomoveFacebook Group: https://dailyboostpodcast.com/facebook#TimeManagement #ProductivityHacks #LifeHacks #DefaultModeNetwork #HighPerformance #CreativeThinking #FreedomMindset #MindfulLiving #PersonalDevelopment #DailyBoost #MotivationToMove #SuccessStrategies #WorkLifeBalance #MentalFreedom #PersonalProductivity #CalendarHacks Learn more about your ad choices.

In today's episode, Scott explores that magical moment when you've finally worn yourself out trying the same approach—and why that breaking point is the perfect beginning.

Daily Boost Podcast Show NotesHow Your Perspective Transforms Every ProblemApril 6, 2025 | Episode 5066Host: Scott SmithEpisode DescriptionWhen life throws you a curveball, how do you respond? In this episode, Scott shares a personal story about having his flight canceled before an important business trip. Instead of panicking, he turned the situation into a game of "hide and seek" - finding solutions with the same adventurous spirit we had as kids. You'll discover how your perspective on problems determines everything and why focusing on what truly matters is essential, even in chaos.Featured StoryScott was preparing for a business trip to Chicago when he received a text that his flight was canceled. Rather than stressing out, he approached the problem like a childhood game of hide and seek - looking for available seats on another flight while his wife helped. The experience reminded him that it's not the problems we face but how we view them that determines our success and happiness.Key TakeawaysHow you view a problem matters more than the problem itself - approach challenges with gratitude, grace, and patience.When life gets chaotic, people typically sacrifice their future dreams and aspirations first when these should be protected.Life will always have urgent situations, but focusing on what's important to you ensures you stay on track toward your goals.Memorable Quotes"No matter what happens and what problem comes your way, it's just a bitty little thing that will pass eventually. The storm always does.""Not all dreams do come true, but the important ones always seem to come your way.""Imagine how good it would be if you consciously paid attention to those dreams, and every time life got crazy, you looked at it in a manner that would allow you to deal with it and stay in that important zone."Scott's Three-Step ApproachWhen problems arise, step back and look at them differently - they're often not as intimidating as they first appear.Maintain perspective on the big picture and remember what indeed drives you, even as you handle urgent matters.Consciously protect your important dreams and goals when life gets chaotic rather than sacrificing them first.Connect With MeSearch for The Daily Boost on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.Email: support@motivationtomove.comMain Website: https://motivationtomove.comYouTube: https://youtube.com/dailyboostpodcastFacebook Page: https://facebook.com/motivationtomoveFacebook Group: https://dailyboostpodcast.com/facebook#DailyBoost #ProblemSolving #MindsetShift #MotivationMonday #PersonalGrowth #ResilienceMatters #LifeSkills #MentalHealth #PositiveMindset #StressManagement #EmbraceTheJourney #ProtectYourDreams #SelfImprovement #PerspectiveMatters #EmotionalIntelligence #GrowthMindset #SuccessMindset #LifeLessons #MindfulLiving #HealthyHabits Learn more about your ad choices.

Perfect for weekend reflection, this no-nonsense guide cuts through excuses and gives you a clear path to making real progress on what matters most.Featured StoryScott opens with a relatable conversation about feeling like "Team You" - where you're playing every position on your team and wearing all the hats. This familiar feeling of being stretched thin leads to a powerful insight: life is supposed to be complicated. From a Yellowstone reference, Scott reminds us that cowboy life isn't meant to be easy - neither is yours. But instead of seeing this as discouraging, Scott frames life's challenges as precisely what we're meant to overcome, permitting us to feel good about tackling them head-on.Key TakeawaysLife and business are fundamentally about solving problems - accepting this reality frees you to stop fighting against challenges and start conquering them.Most people who aren't willing to "pay the price" for success are stuck in a comfortable misery, barely getting by.Deep, uninterrupted work for just a couple of hours daily will transform your life faster than you might believe possible.Memorable Quotes"The future value of your life depends on the current value of your effort.""Own your goals.

Daily Boost Podcast Show NotesSix Stages of Big-Ass GoalsApril 3, 2025 | Episode 5064Host: Scott SmithEpisode DescriptionWhat happens after you set that ambitious goal you can barely believe you'll achieve? In this no-nonsense episode, Scott breaks down the six-stage process that follows every big goal-setting moment. Sparked by his grandson's innocent question about "big-ass goals," Scott delivers a practical roadmap for navigating the psychological journey from contemplation to habit formation. If you've ever set a significant goal but struggled to follow through, this episode reveals precisely why—and what to do about it.Featured StoryScott kicks off with a humorous story about his 12-year-old grandson overhearing him record a podcast and asking, "G-Pa, what's a big-ass goal?" This candid moment leads Scott to reflect on how we approach ambitious goals and why most people get stuck at certain predictable stages. Drawing on Winston Churchill's wisdom that "to improve is to change; to be perfect is to change often," Scott reveals how change is not something to fear but to embrace as the essence of growth.Key TakeawaysThe most effective goals are so ambitious they seem almost unattainable, yet still possible with dedicated effort—that's what makes them "big-ass goals."When setting ambitious goals, you'll naturally progress through six stages: pre-contemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, maintenance, and termination.Optimism isn't just a pleasant attitude—it's a practical approach to life because, as Churchill noted, "it does not seem to be much use being anything else."Memorable Quotes"New level, new devil—if you think you're going to get away from every problem you have today by making a change, it's not true. You'll escape today's problems, but life will give you new ones.""For myself, I am an optimist. It does not seem to be much use being anything else.""If you can stand up, take a step, repeat, and keep doing that until you get what you want, that is the world's simplest success recipe."Scott's Three-Step ApproachSet goals so ambitious that others might doubt you can achieve them—this creates the focus and motivation needed for fundamental transformation.Please be sure to know which of the six stages of change you're in (pre-contemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, maintenance, or termination) and take the appropriate steps for that stage.Approach life's inevitable challenges with optimism, seeing obstacles not as roadblocks but as opportunities to grow stronger and more capable.Connect With MeSearch for The Daily Boost on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.Email: support@motivationtomove.comMain Website: https://motivationtomove.comYouTube: https://youtube.com/dailyboostpodcastFacebook Page: https://facebook.com/motivationtomoveFacebook Group: https://dailyboostpodcast.com/facebook#DailyBoost #BigAssGoals #GoalSetting #PersonalDevelopment #StagesOfChange #OptimismWins #ScottSmith #SuccessMindset #NewLevelNewDevil #ChangeProcess #Motivation #SelfImprovement #ChurchillWisdom #AmbitiousGoals #TakeAction Learn more about your ad choices.

Daily Boost Podcast Show NotesWhy Your Default Settings Determine Your SuccessApril 2, 2025 | Episode 5063Host: Scott SmithEpisode DescriptionEveryone talks about spontaneity and flexibility, but what if the real secret to happiness is having default settings? In this eye-opening episode, Scott challenges the popular notion that true freedom means living spontaneously. Instead, he makes a compelling case for establishing your own "default mode" in key areas of your life. You'll discover how creating consistent patterns can give you more freedom, better results, and instant happiness.Featured StoryScott starts with a humorous breakfast story about his wife's "Bubba Oat" moment - when she enthusiastically listed all the possible variations of overnight oats like Bubba from Forrest Gump listing shrimp recipes. This playful moment perfectly illustrates how his health-conscious wife naturally defaults to healthy eating habits. Scott uses this relatable example to introduce how living with firm defaults creates predictability and success in the areas that matter most.Key TakeawaysYour current "default mode" in different areas of life serves you well or holds you back - but you're already operating with defaults whether you realize it or not.Establishing intentional defaults for important areas (diet, exercise, work, relationships) relieves decision fatigue and creates consistent results.Living in default mode doesn't eliminate spontaneity - it creates more freedom by handling the routine aspects of life automatically.Memorable Quotes"If you want to be happier, more successful, and make life easier, you've got to live in default mode.""When you decide who you are and you stand your ground, you default to it - you're living a valued, principled stand in your life.""Figuring out what works and doing it by default is easy and gets great results consistently."Scott's Three-Step ApproachIdentify the areas of your life where you're already operating on "default" and honestly assess if those defaults are serving you well.Create intentional defaults in key areas (diet, exercise, relationships, work) that align with your goals and values.Allow yourself strategic moments of spontaneity within your default framework to keep life fun while maintaining consistency.Connect With MeSearch for The Daily Boost on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.Email: support@motivationtomove.comMain Website: https://motivationtomove.comYouTube: https://youtube.com/dailyboostpodcastFacebook Page: https://facebook.com/motivationtomoveFacebook Group: https://dailyboostpodcast.com/facebook#DailyBoost #DefaultMode #ConsistencyWins #SuccessHabits #PersonalDevelopment #IntentionalLiving #ScottSmith #DefaultDiet #ProductivityHacks #DecisionFatigue #GoodHabits #SelfImprovement #LifestyleDesign #DailyRoutines #MindsetShift Learn more about your ad choices.

Daily Boost Podcast Show NotesYour Morning Routine is Your Secret WeaponApril 1, 2025 | Episode 5062Host: Scott SmithEpisode DescriptionWhat's the first thing you should do tomorrow morning to allow you to live the life you want? Scott shares his early-morning "cowboy stuff" approach to starting your day right in this energizing episode. He explains why morning routines matter and offers a simple but powerful question that can transform how you approach each day. Whether you're a ritual follower or a spontaneous spirit, this episode will help you find the perfect morning rhythm to boost your productivity and happiness.Featured StoryScott starts with a hilarious story about getting up at 5:42 am to do his "cowboy stuff" — much to his wife's surprise. This playful moment contrasts his naturally spontaneous nature and his wife's ritualistic morning routine. Scott explains how marrying someone with such different habits forced him to develop his morning routine, teaching him that sometimes "no choice" becomes the best motivation for positive change.Key TakeawaysThe morning is the most powerful time for 99% of people - you're rested, focused, and ready to go.Anything truly important in your life must be done first thing in the morning.Consistent routines provide a peaceful base for your life but be flexible enough to change when urgency requires it.Memorable Quotes"What's the first thing I should do tomorrow morning? If I do that, will it allow me to live as I want to?""If you can move now in any way possible, you will be able to move into the future in every way possible.""The trick is the click - that millisecond in time when you go, 'Oh, that's how it works.'"Scott's Three-Step ApproachAsk yourself what the most important thing to do first tomorrow is to enable your desired lifestyle.Create a consistent daily routine that puts your highest priorities first in the morning when you're at your best.Be flexible, handle urgent matters, and return to your routine quickly.Connect With MeSearch for The Daily Boost on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.Email: support@motivationtomove.comMain Website: https://motivationtomove.comYouTube: https://youtube.com/dailyboostpodcastFacebook Page: https://facebook.com/motivationtomoveFacebook Group: https://dailyboostpodcast.com/facebook#DailyBoost #MorningRoutine #ProductivityHacks #FirstThingsFirst #Motivation #PersonalDevelopment #ScottSmith #DailyHabits #SelfDiscipline #TimeManagement #MorningMotivation #CowboyStuff #ConsistencyWins #LifeHacks #SuccessHabits Learn more about your ad choices.
