Summary

Happy New Year. Are you ready to stop waiting for permission to be yourself? I'm kicking off my 20th season with something different. Shorter shows during the week, deeper conversations on weekends. Six minutes of daily fuel Monday through Friday, then we go deep where it counts. Today, we're talking about the two things you were born with that nobody can take away—free will and your unique way of doing things. You're already using them whether you know it or not. The question is, are you doing it on purpose? Featured Story My son-in-law spends most of his time as a pharmacist. Good living helps people and does important work. But ask him what he does when he's doing him? Fishing and hunting. That's it. Most of us live in that gap. We spend our days doing what needs to be done, but when nobody's telling us what to do, when we're on our own to fill our own time, we become somebody different. Someone more real. I see it in my coaching work all the time. Successful business people, high-end professionals, and entrepreneurs running the show. They're crushing it by everyone else's standards. But they come to me because they're not doing it their way. Important Points You already have free will, and you're using it right now, even if you think someone else is calling the shots. When I do things somebody else's way in my writing, speaking, or coaching work, that's when I become ineffective. Ask yourself what you do when you're doing you, and something tangible will come to mind that you've been ignoring. Memorable Quotes "You're going to do every single thing in your life your way anyway. Accept that and start doing it on purpose." "When I get in trouble with my work, it's when I do it somebody else's way. That's when I'm not effective at all." "The whole world's waiting for you to show up as yourself. Nobody's judging you. They're waiting for the real you." Scott's Three-Step Approach Ask yourself what you do when you're doing you, when nobody's telling you what to do, and you're on your own time. Pay attention to what comes to mind immediately, because that's your true self trying hard to get your attention. Give yourself permission to bring more of that authentic self into everything you do, starting right now.

Happy New Year. How are you doing? Did you have a good night last night? I hope you did. Assuming today's New Year is for you when you're listening. You never know with a podcast right. Anyway, some of you're out of bed at 5 a.m. going, let's get it. Most of you, no, you're like, I'll wait until Monday. I need a boost. I need a daily boost. I need a daily boost. I need a daily boost. How are you? It is The Daily Boost from Motivation2Move.com. And my name is Scott Smith. I have to tell you,
1:18.6	and I have studied this extensively very, very deeply. I believe at their core, Mondays were designed
1:24.7	for us to wait until Monday. That's what I believe. Why else would you put them on the other side of a weekend?
1:28.7	It just makes sense.
2:03.4	I'll wait until Monday. Now, some of us hustle through the weekend. We all do that from time to time, but ultimately, I think Mondays were designed to put it off to, especially if you have a diet. So if you notice my shows are a little shorter this week, you may not have. I thought I take the moment today as we get in the new year. Yes, they're about half, about six minutes. That's the goal to make them six minutes instead of 10 or 12. Why would I do that? Well, as I set my goals for 2026, I said, you know, I'm going to kind of pull some of the hype out and want to have more conversations. And the truth is, I get a lot deeper than you get on these shows. And I really want to have the opportunity to do that myself.
2:19.8	It's my 20th season. I just want to go a little deeper here. And I think I want you to have it too. So I strip the shows down to six minutes. It makes no sense, Scott. How do I go deeper in six minutes? Well, you're not supposed to. It's a little bit of a snack, an idea. but on the weekends, we can dig deeper. So what will happen to the extra minutes that I am losing now? Well, they're going to come back in the form of a weekend show. It will be longer. It will be a deeper dive. It'll be a nice conversation and you're going to learn some stuff. Actually, you're going to learn what's really going on behind some of these podcasts I do for you. So that's going to be fun. So look for that.
2:34.6	Maybe this weekend, maybe next weekend.
2:35.8	As soon as the voice will tolerate a longer show, I'll do it for you.
2:40.0	Very excited about that.
2:42.7	So what were you born to do?
2:45.9	Can you imagine what might happen if you just dared to think, I mean, like your true self, dare to act like your true self and dare to share your true self.
2:59.6	That'll make you smile, won't it? I work with a lot of business people. Most of my clients are entrepreneurs, business people, high-end professionals. That's who I work with most of the time. And essentially, they're doing a lot of stuff that they don't get to be their true self in because they're running a business, right?
3:25.3	We get in these conversations all the time, like, man, I wish it could. It makes you smile if you could, right? Or maybe you're one of those people who think that, well, listen, man, living from the inside out, being fully authentic in this world, that's self-centered, that's egotistical, that's not how you're supposed to be.
