    Freedom Formula: Daily Actions That Create Success

    Daily Boost Podcast Show Notes Freedom Formula: Daily Actions That Create Success April 18, 2025 | Episode - 5075 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description Ever wonder what it would be like to have a billion dollars? It's not just about the money - it's about the freedom. In this episode, Scott explores what actions billionaires take that you can implement right now in your own life. Instead of focusing on accumulating massive wealth, discover how to create the feeling of freedom, peace of mind, and impact that billionaires experience, regardless of your bank account. Featured Story Scott challenges you to imagine being a billionaire and asks what actions you would take to get there. He reveals that what most people truly want isn't the billions - it's the freedom that comes with financial security. Through his signature conversational style, Scott breaks down how the daily habits of successful people create the foundation for a life of freedom and impact that anyone can achieve without needing massive wealth. Key Takeaways You are your habits - the results you get in life are directly tied to your daily habits, so choose good ones that move you toward your goals. Successful people prioritize exercise, spend time with inspiring people, and pursue their own goals consistently. Creating "settled habits" in areas like sleep, multiple income streams, and avoiding time wasters builds the foundation for long-term success. Memorable Quotes "Good habits, done daily, create success." "If you pursue your own goals, you're sexy - people love you." "When you lean into it and give it time and hang out with the right people, life changes." Scott's Three-Step Approach Establish good habits that deliver on your baseline and move you in the direction you want to go. Surround yourself with people who inspire you and walk away from those who waste your time. Build multiple streams of income to create more freedom and security in your life.

    Design Your Perfect Day: No Rules, No Limitations

    Daily Boost Podcast Show Notes Design Your Perfect Day: No Rules, No Limitations April 17, 2025 | Episode 5,074 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description Have you ever wondered what makes a truly great day? In this episode, Scott challenges the notion that we need extraordinary days to be happy. Instead, he introduces his time-tested "Average Perfect Day" concept - a decisive mindset shift that could transform your approach to daily happiness. It's not about chasing rainbows and unicorns; it's about finding contentment in the present while still pursuing your dreams. Featured Story Scott shares his conversation with a coaching client that sparked a profound realization. At the end of the day, what we're all searching for isn't necessarily extraordinary experiences but that peaceful feeling that "life is pretty good." The Average Perfect Day concept, which Scott originated in 2006, offers a practical framework for designing days that consistently bring you joy and satisfaction. It's about making your days "pretty good" on average, which leads to an extraordinary life. Key Takeaways Your subconscious mind is designed to guide you toward what's best for you, but it needs clear direction on what you want. Creating an Average Perfect Day requires removing all rules, limitations, and perceived consequences when envisioning your ideal day. What you focus on expands, so shift your attention from what you don't want to what you truly desire daily. Memorable Quotes "If you could, on average, have every day being pretty good - an Average Perfect Day - and you do that for the entire course of your life, wouldn't that be pretty cool?" "Imagination is where it all begins. When you begin to imagine, your subconscious mind says, 'Oh, that's what you want! Why don't I go out and help you get it?'" "If you're focused on what you don't want, you must get that out of your life. You're just going to get more of it." Scott's Three-Step Approach I'd like you to please write down a detailed vision of your perfect day, event by event, without limitations or perceived consequences. Consciously believe you deserve this Average Perfect Day and can truly be yours. Allow your subconscious mind to work on attracting these elements into your life by focusing on what you want.

    Stop Chasing More Hours: Your Secret Time Hack Is Here

    Daily Boost Podcast Show Notes Stop Chasing More Hours: Your Secret Time Hack Is Here April 16, 2025 | Episode 5073 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description Ever feel like there aren't enough hours in the day? In this eye-opening episode, Scott debunks the myth of "creating more time" and instead shows you how to master your perception of time. You'll discover practical strategies to make your days feel longer, more fulfilling, and less rushed—no time machine required! Scott shares his science-backed "anticipation engine" technique that can transform how you experience every single day. Featured Story Scott reflects on a conversation with his daughter about how each generation witnesses incredible changes, yet the basics of life remain constant. While recovering from a cold caught at a podcast convention, Scott experienced firsthand how time can simultaneously fly by and crawl along—proving that your perception of time is within your control. There is no hype, just real-world results that will change how you think about your daily schedule. Key Takeaways You can't create more time, but you can change your perception of time by managing your activities and focus differently. The "anticipation engine" technique—having things you genuinely look forward to—scientifically changes how you experience the passage of time. Constantly being busy makes time pass quickly and creates the feeling of not having enough; strategically slowing down makes days feel longer and more fulfilling. Memorable Quotes "Most people are very excited when they're growing; most people are very depressed when they're not growing." "Around me, you're not going to get hype. You're going to get results." "You don't need more time. You need more focus and a change in perspective about time." Scott's Three-Step Approach Embrace the "anticipation engine" by listing 5-6 things you're looking forward to in the next week, month, or year. Deliberately slow down your pace throughout the day—take more time in the morning and don't rush yourself all day long. Introduce complex sensory input into your day through music, visual experiences, and varied activities to make time feel richer and fuller.

    Dopamine Trap: Why Motivation Keeps Failing You

    Daily Boost Podcast Show Notes Dopamine Trap: Why Motivation Keeps Failing You April 15, 2025 | Episode 5072 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description Have you ever asked yourself how to stay motivated when life gets crazy? In this episode, Scott shares a robust coaching conversation about establishing a "peaceful base." Instead of chasing endless motivation, discover how identifying your personal Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) creates a foundation that keeps you on track. It's not sexy, but it's precisely what you need to hear right now. Featured Story Scott reveals how a coaching client's question about motivation led to an essential discussion about dopamine's double-edged sword. While this brain chemical powers your drive to achieve, it can also reward you for giving up! Learn how to harness dopamine effectively by establishing your baseline - those core activities that indicate you're living aligned with your values. When you know your baseline, motivation follows naturally. Key Takeaways Dopamine drives both your motivation to act AND your reward for quitting - understanding this balance is crucial for sustained success. Creating a "peaceful base" through personal KPIs gives you a foundation to return to when life gets chaotic. Knowing your baseline measurements frees your mind from clutter and frustration, naturally increasing motivation. Memorable Quotes "A peaceful base is built on KPIs, knowing when you're on track to going for what you want." "When you have the baseline, your mind gets freed from all the clutter." "If your life is buzzing fanatically, you've got to find a way to breathe and chill down." Scott's Three-Step Approach Identify 2-3 key performance indicators that represent your baseline (like exercising 3x weekly or family date nights). When life feels chaotic, please check if you've drifted from your baseline activities. Return to your baseline practices before trying to "get motivated" - your motivation will naturally return.

    Breaking Rules Won't Get You There – But These Will

    Daily Boost Podcast Show Notes Breaking Rules Won't Get You There – But These Will April 14, 2025 | Episode 5071 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description Ever feel like the rule-breakers are winning while you're playing it straight? In today's Daily Boost, Scott challenges the notion that cheating is the path to success. Instead, he breaks down the fundamental principles leading to getting what you want. These aren't complicated strategies – they're the basics that genuinely work. If you're stuck despite doing everything "right," this episode will realign your thinking and get you back on track. Featured Story Scott shares his moment of temptation – wondering if breaking the rules is how others succeed while he feels stuck playing fair. But instead of giving in, he discovered something powerful: success comes from mastering a few fundamental principles many people overlook. These basics aren't flashy, but they're what genuinely create lasting success in our chaotic world. Key Takeaways Clarity is essential before making any decision – a confused mind cannot move forward effectively. Your passion begins with accepting what you truly want rather than hiding from it or making excuses. Strong personal values create strong passions – but most people don't know their current values. Memorable Quotes "You instinctively know exactly who you are and what you want – you may not be able to verbalize it, but you know what it is." "Some doors must close before others open – if you hang around and wait, you'll miss the opportunity." "Everything happens when something happens. If nothing happens, nothing happens." Scott's Three-Step Approach Get crystal clear about what you truly want – write it down in black and white to eliminate confusion. Accept your passion with courage – acknowledge what you want and commit to going after it. Let faith and courage power your transformation – even when you don't fully believe you can succeed.

    Controlling Your Emotional Triggers

    Daily Boost Podcast Show Notes Controlling Your Emotional Triggers April 11, 2025 | Episode 5070 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description Ever catch yourself doing exactly what you promised you'd never do? In this episode, Scott shares a personal moment when he lost his cool with his wife - proving that even "Mr. Positivity" has triggering moments! Discover how your emotional habits can activate before your logical brain catches up, and learn Scott's practical three-step approach to gaining control over those unwanted emotional reactions. Featured Story Scott confesses to having a meltdown while trying to exit an airport parking lot after returning home sick from the Podcast Movement Convention. He could not stop the emotional cascade despite setting personal rules against such behavior. This relatable story highlights how we're all human, and sometimes our emotions override our best intentions, especially when we're tired, stressed, or not feeling well. Key Takeaways Your emotions serve as a personal alarm system, providing critical information about internal and external events. Triggers are often rooted in past experiences that resurface unexpectedly, activating robust emotional responses that can feel misaligned with current situations. Even the most logical people are emotional beings - understanding this balance is key to developing emotional intelligence and regaining control. Memorable Quotes "The better things are going on in life, the more challenges you will have, but that's how things are." "We're not designed to squash our emotional reactions - they're kind of like a personal alarm system." "Controlling behaviors that have been on autopilot for years takes work, but with awareness and discipline, you can change your response." Scott's Three-Step Approach Catch yourself after the trigger happens - notice your mistake and promise to catch it soon. When triggered again, catch yourself while being triggered and get control as soon as possible. With practice, you'll begin to catch yourself before the trigger happens and avoid unwanted reactions altogether. Connect With Me Search for The Daily Boost on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

    How To Pump Yourself Up When No One Else Will

    Daily Boost Podcast Show Notes How To Pump Yourself Up When No One Else Will April 10, 2025 | Episode 5069 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description Ever need a quick boost, but no one's around to give you that pep talk? 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 Story Scott 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 Takeaways Relying 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. With dopamine, you're Superman or Superwoman." Scott's Three-Step Approach Establish your motivational anchor by combining physical movement (like the PYOTB technique) with enthusiastic, positive self-talk. Practice regularly triggering your anchor, especially before important events, to build strength and effectiveness. You can use your anchor whenever you need an instant mood shift - before meetings, tough conversations, or anytime your energy dips.
