Summary

Focus on What’s Important. Ignore The Rest. Are you the kind of person always running around putting out fires - fires you set? I think it is time that we take away your matches and lighter fluid. For the remainder of the year, keep these tips in mind: 1) If your life is non-stop drama, stress, and craziness, there is a good chance that YOU are the cause. There is also a good chance you won’t see it that way. 2) Living with your hair on fire will keep you so busy you will spend years wondering why you can’t get what you want. 3) When you STOP doing anything that results in more craziness, you will find that life is pretty quiet. That’s when good stuff begins to happen. It’s a Universal truth. You are 100% in charge of every action you choose - or not. Choose good ones. It makes life more fun.

0:00.0	How are you? Happy Wednesday. Here I come surfing on the tailwind of my own personal
0:24.0	COVID infection. That's right. I'm still positive right now today as I record this for you,
0:28.5	but I feel I'm pretty good. And over the bad stuff, I just kind of work my way through it,
0:32.7	quarantine in my studio here. I hope you don't get it. I am wearing a mask right now.
0:35.8	That's all I am not. All right, so today we're going to talk about focus.
0:41.6	And why focus is really important to you. I see this and everybody I talk to all the time.
0:46.4	I see it in the crazy buzz of the world out there. We spent a month now traveling and vacations
0:52.8	and conferences and everything else. And I see how people are so scattered all over the place
0:57.1	and trying to get something done, but they're not. So we're going to talk about that today.
0:59.8	I'm going to try to talk to you into being more focused. Is that cool? Good to have you.
1:03.5	It's a daily boost from motivation.move.com. The positive boost you need every single day.
1:07.4	For 16 years, I've showed up with the basic mission in mind. It's that no matter what happens,
1:11.7	no matter when life gets in the way and life will always get in the way, no matter how much you
1:16.2	have planned prepared, it's going to be a challenge. And yet we get up, we keep going. Somebody
1:22.6	asked me the other day, hey, Scott, you're recording while you're not feeling great. I said, yeah,
1:25.6	I had no choice. I had a choice. Didn't, didn't you pre-record? I actually did. I recorded 17
1:31.1	shows before I went on vacation. And when I came out from vacation, I recorded 10 more instantly
1:36.0	thinking I might get sick. 17 plus 10. It's 27 shows. And I ran out. So how far can you prepare?
1:44.2	Anyway, good to have you. My name is Scott Smith. I'm the founder of the chief
1:46.9	main motivating officer here at motivation and move.com. I promise today, COVID or not, I'll do the
1:52.7	best I can to just deal with me, just enjoy my, my enthusiasm and my energy. Don't worry about
1:58.3	how I sound today, okay? Talk about focus. Focus is one of them things. One of them crazy things.
