Daily Boost Podcast Show Notes Fire Yourself Up When Nothing Seems to Motivate You June 16, 2025 | Episode - 5116 Host: Scott Smith Scott tackles the age-old question: How do you get fired up when you can’t seem to motivate yourself? A friend’s honest confession leads to a powerful conversation about finding that unstoppable feeling we all crave. Scott shares his three-step approach to reigniting your passion and breaking free from the comfortable trap that’s keeping you stuck. This isn’t about external motivation—it’s about firing yourself up from the inside out. Scott recounts a conversation with a friend who admitted he couldn’t motivate or inspire himself, but wanted to feel fired up about his business. The friend’s story about working in airplane hangars during high school while his peers were out having fun reveals the key to finding that unstoppable drive we all need. You need something bigger than yourself—a dream so exciting that people think you’re crazy for pursuing it. You must clear the clutter from your life, even the good things that are keeping you comfortable but trapped. Once you have the big dream and clear the obstacles, action becomes natural because you’ll run toward what you want. “You have to motivate yourself from the inside. I’m gonna give you some ideas, hopefully to fire you up.” “It’s got to be bigger than you. It’s got to be so exciting you can’t hardly wait to get there.” “The trick is to click. When it clicks inside of you, everything changes.” Find something bigger than you—a dream so interesting it makes you look up and feel excited about the future. Clear the clutter from your life by giving up things that are keeping you comfortable but trapped. Take action and run toward your goal because once you have clarity and remove obstacles, momentum becomes natural. Search for The Daily Boost on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
