The Power of 100% Commitment: Why Showing Up is Just the Beginning 💪

Scott Smith shares a powerful lesson learned at his first wedding: Success isn't about giving 50-50, it's about giving 100-100.

Through engaging storytelling, he explains:
🔹Just showing up is only half the battle 🎯
🔹True commitment means giving 100% every time
🔹You can't succeed with kids, marriage, or business on 50% effort
🔹When others give 80%, you need to give 120%

Key insight: "If you don't show up or if you only show up half the time, what do you expect?"

The podcast breaks down why full commitment is essential for achieving any goal, regardless of your path. Scott's authenticity and no-nonsense approach makes this message hit home! 🎤

The Rule of Three: Why Phone Calls Beat Text Debates 📱

Scott Smith shares a brilliant perspective on modern communication, using a humorous comparison between dogs' simple happiness and humans' overcomplicated ways. His key message? Sometimes we need to stop typing and start talking.

Key insights:
🔹A 24-hour text debate can be solved in a 5-minute phone call 🗣️
🔹Real-time communication prevents misunderstandings 🤝
🔹Like dogs living in the moment, humans need to simplify their approach to happiness ✨

This simple rule can save hours of frustration and prevent unnecessary stress.

5 Words To Succeed at Anything

Author: Scott Smith - Motivation and Coaching

When I was a baby DJ in broadcast school, I spent a lot of time learning the rules of journalism. While that subject fills books, almost everything we needed to know was -

Who? What? When? Where?
Why?

If you know that information, you can tell a complete story.

Years later, I re-arranged the formula for personal growth.

Every time I set goals and consider a different direction, I ask -

What? Why? When? Where? Who? 

Occasionally I need to ask HOW I will accomplish my goal - but that usually takes care of itself.

Interpreting Your Calling

Is the Universe whispering and nudging you to move in a specific direction? 

Before I go on, I must admit that I am certainly not an expert in the Universe or if it works in our life. The magic of gravity is enough to blow my mind, and the only Secret I know is that you are the only one in charge of getting what you want in your life.

But what if you know that Universe is speaking to you? Calling you, compelling you to get off the sofa and do what you say you want to do? But you still won’t do it?

Many years ago, I was in the habit of listening to those voices whispering inside my head and following whatever I thought they said for me to do. Eventually, after many false starts, I realized the messages were not black or white. There didn’t seem to be any particular order, and they were almost always out of context with my life. In other words, mindlessly following my feelings often ended with me not getting what I wanted, and whatever I wanted to get away from became more assertive in my life.

One night at about 3 AM, a thought popped into my head—

“Maybe I’m not supposed to do what I’m hearing? Maybe I’m stuck in my thinking, and the Universe is giving me more of what I’m focused on.

You get what you focus on. That’s a basic rule of life. 

It made sense to me that whatever I was focused on would linger in my brain until I questioned it from a different angle - whether I wanted to your not. That’s when I started flipping the script and created my 180 Degree Rule.

Now, when a thought pops into my head and convinces me of the direction I’m supposed to run with all my enthusiasm, I pause and ask—

“What if it really means I’m supposed to move away instead of forward?”

With that new way of thinking, everything changed. It didn’t get easier, and sometimes took time to choose a path. Still, questioning the context of the wisdom as it applied to my current life and experience allowed me to avoid dead ends and frustration. 

And another thing happened…

My life became more balanced and calm by going into “trust but verify” mode. Instead of chasing dreams of what might be a reality, I focused on adjusting my reality to be more like the vision I held in my heart.

When the Universe speaks to you, it doesn’t always include context and directions. Take a minute to decide if you’re supposed to move toward or away, and clarity will emerge.

Description: 7 Stoic Rules for Happiness

I'm a fan of Stoic Philosophy. While it may be over 2,000 years old, its practicality is still valid.

These rules to live by will help you have a happier life:

1. If you're going to learn and succeed, be humble. There is always someone more intelligent, more successful, and wiser.  

2. Find the right scene. Choose your friends and situations. If you want to rise in life, you can't allow yourself to be held down by others.

3. Protect your time. Seneca said, "We're tight-fisted with property and money, yet think too little of wasting time, the one thing about which we should all be the toughest misers." Life is short.

4. Never do anything out of habit. Always think about how you can do things better, and always question yourself. 

5. Keep it simple — do your job. Approach every task as if it were your last because it very well could be. 

6. Adapt and learn from failure. Using your success to justify complacency is common. It's also easy, which is why most people do it. You can do more and be better.

7. Live below your means. The more you need work to maintain your needs, the less you will enjoy what you have.

Everything in life comes down to keeping things simple and mastering the basics.

That's how you get the success you deserve.

Opening New Doors Fuel Your Dreams

One of my favorite questions is, “What CAN I Do?” 

No matter how challenging a situation. 

Answering that question always reveals a clear path.

As they navigate our new world, I hear my clients ask me that question, too. 

My answer usually goes something like this -

“Can you do it? When you open a new door, you will find a new opportunity. Start opening more doors.”

Feeling empowered in a world that is draining your energy is like Tesla on a cross-country trip without charging stations is difficult. To ensure you are never running low, remember that dreams, possibilities, potential, and a feeling of certainty are all powered by new opportunities.

When you open a new door, an opportunity reveals itself. Your challenges will fade as you focus on the new way.
But you must be willing to open a new door to find it.

The key to thriving in uncertain times is finding opportunities behind new doors. All you have to do is open the door.

Do This Instead of Setting Goals

Author: Scott Smith - Motivation and Coaching

Do you still dream of what you will be when you grow up?  

Do visions still keep popping into your head?  

Is there a mission that seems to be calling you?

What’s your BAM?  

What’s your BIG - AWESOME - MOTIVATING - MISSION?

What gives you pleasant dreams and a feeling of happiness?

What scares yet excites you?

What makes you smile and say, “If I could only get myself to…”

Stand up? Take a step? Repeat?

There’s no need to wait. You can start right now. Really! Right now.

Let Your Greatness Shine

Author: Scott Smith - Motivation and Coaching

Whether in business, having a job, going to school, or living your life, your ability to present well will supercharge your success.

Here are five tips I use every day:

1) Understand that most folk only expect you to wow them. They are not expecting bad. You shouldn't either.

2) Join the conversation THEY already have inside their head, not the one YOU are having.

3) You'll move faster if you drop the small talk and dig into the meat of your communication.
You can fill in additional information later.

4) The sooner you get people to suspend disbelief and engage with you, the sooner you will succeed.

5) Stop overkill. Find the first best place to take your exit and bring your meeting to an end.

You're going to be amazed at how well this works.

Focusing on YOUR Important

As a child, I remember heading out the door for a day in an endless adventure. It usually concluded with a game of Hide-And-Seek.

Those days seemed to last forever.

These days, most of us are still running until the sun goes down. But there's so much to do that we rarely have time to ponder the bigger picture.

Remember-

You will always find time for your most important tasks. You will eat, sleep, pay bills, feed the dog, and take care of your children - no matter how crazy life gets.

When life gets crazy, and you scream, "Something has to GIVE…" it's usually your dreams for the future that get put off.

Steven Covey reminded us how important it is to focus on what's important as much as possible. Make sure you put yourself on the list too. Then, when life goes off the rails, fix it as soon as possible, get back to what's essential, and keep moving.

Not all dreams come true, but the important ones always seem to come your way.

Focusing on Your Twenty Percent

Author: Scott Smith - Motivation and Coaching

If you’re like many folks, you have so much on your plate that it’s challenging to keep up— forget about moving closer to your goal. 

There’s good news: you are not alone.

Everyone lives according to the 80/20 rule, which almost everybody has heard about. The Pareto Principle states that 80% of outcomes result from 20% of all causes of any event.

However, to get what you want in life, there is a slight twist to the equation that says,

80% of the things you focus on have nothing to do with what you ultimately want. They are simply the busyness of life.

20% of the things you focus on in your life have everything to do with getting what you want and will yield the most significant return for your efforts.

When you eliminate, delegate, or ignore the 80% and hyper-focus on the 20%, the math changes, and suddenly, you are living your best life 100% of the time.

Focusing on your best 20% changes everything.
