Raw Coaching Insights From Early Morning Warriors

Daily Boost Podcast Show Notes Raw Coaching Insights From Early Morning Warriors June 23, 2025 | Episode - 5120  Host: Scott Smith Episode Description Scott gets real about missing his first podcast in years (hey, it happens!) and dives into the powerful conclusions from his Face Your Passion coaching calls. These aren’t your typical motivational platitudes–they’re raw, authentic insights from high-achievers who show up at 7 AM ready to transform their lives. From redefinition to making things happen, Scott breaks down the simple truths that work when you stop overthinking and start moving. This episode cuts through the fluff and gives you the between-the-lines wisdom that creates real change. Featured Story Scott shares behind-the-scenes moments from his Face Your Passion coaching group–125 calls deep with people aged 30 to 73 who get up early because they’re serious about creating passionate, purposeful lives. He drew these conclusions from the participants, who underwent a fundamental transformation in real time. The magic happens when people are challenged just enough to feel uncomfortable, then break through with insights they didn’t even know they had. It’s coaching gold that reveals how simple truths become life-changing when you’re ready to receive them. Important Points The mind works retrospectively and prospectively–it always asks, “How did last week go?” and “What will you change next week?” to create powerful awareness and forward momentum. Most people lack the clarity to make decisions, which means they can’t take action. You must decide what you want to do before you can do it. Sometimes, you need to stop being yourself if being yourself isn’t working–redefining yourself isn’t wrong; it’s necessary for growth and breakthrough. Memorable Quotes “If you keep moving forward and get things done, life is going to work out okay for you. If you stop moving, it  will not work out.” “I’d rather take a chance and kick you in the ass a bit and have you hate me for a minute, love me forever.” “Sometimes the stuff I’m telling you today, simple advice, you go do it whether you like it, no matter how hard it is, you will be rewarded for going through it.” Scott’s Three-Step Approach Ask yourself retrospectively how last week went, then prospectively what you’ll change next week to create what you want. Stop overthinking motivation and tap into a time when you were naturally fired up–model that energy and feeling instead of relying on canned exercises. Decide what you want to do and do it. Stop waiting for perfect clarity and start moving toward your passion, purpose, meaning, and legacy.

Don’t Let Bill-Paying Kill Your Dreams

Daily Boost Podcast Show Notes Don’t Let Bill-Paying Kill Your Dreams June 10, 2025 | Episode -5112 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description Summer’s here, and while everyone’s thinking about vacations and fun, Scott wants you to think about something more important: your focus. Your attention determines your destination, and most people don’t realize others have already set their focus. In this episode, Scott shares a conversation he had with a young man who just finished school and was pursuing his “dream career.” But there was a problem - his focus was in the wrong place, and Scott could hear it immediately. Featured Story Scott met a young man at church who had just finished school and was working toward his dream career. The young man also got job certification to pay his bills while pursuing his passion. During their conversation, the young man said something that made Scott’s ears perk up: “I’m hoping I can get a good job supporting my dream.” To Scott’s trained ear, this wasn’t hope - it was dream-erasing, defocused thinking that would lead the young man away from what he wanted. Important Points What you focus on is what you get - if you focus on paying bills instead of pursuing dreams, you’ll stay focused on paying bills for 20, 30, or 40 years. Golden handcuffs are real - the certainty of earning income becomes your focus, and dreams disappear while you’re busy doing stuff. The solution is separation - get a job separate from your dreams that pays the bills, then focus every available second on your dreams until you don’t need that job anymore. Memorable Quotes “What you focus on is what you get. You’ve heard that a thousand times. Do you believe it?” “Most folks don’t notice their dreams are gone for like 20, 30, 40 years because they’re so busy doing stuff.” “When you focus on your dreams, you get so good at what you do. It’s just a matter of time before you percolate to the top and start getting paid to do what you love to do.” Scott’s Three-Step Approach Get a job that’s separate from any dream you’ve ever had that makes the money you need to pay your bills. Focus every single second of time after work on your dreams and getting better at what you want to do. Define your money-making job by saying “I do this to make money so I can do that,” knowing you’ll shift gears as soon as you’re good enough at your dream pursuit.
