Summary

Before I begin, I want to define what I mean by doing nothing. I don’t see doing ‘nothing’ as something unproductive. Instead, I see ‘nothing’ as a protected personal space that lies between your thoughts and your actions. It is a place that provides a contemplation and planning opportunity before launching into massive and focused action design to reach your outcome and achievement of your goal. It is a holding space where inspiration, desperation, motivation, even intimidation, bubble up into your consciousness and await your next action. Instead of moving your thoughts immediately into action mode or never moving at all, both of which cause unnecessary drama, you purposefully quarantine your thoughts until you are assured in your success plan or decide to take a new direction. Doing nothing looks like this: 1) All thoughts and potential actions arrive in your mind and are held for evaluation. 2) Unless based on a previous decision and cleared for instant action, you always take the time to ensure that your actions will lead you to your vision. 3) If you don’t know the absolute end-game of your journey, you are still on another path. Don’t take a step until you know where you are one your new path. In the end, doing nothing is a place in your mind where you choose your path, direct your actions, and create your legacy. It is a place of personal respect that is built into you and will allow you to have the most significant impact on yourself and the world around you. I don’t know about you, but I get a lot of good thinking time when I’m doing nothing. That time is priceless. If doing something takes you off track, you might be better off doing nothing - at least for a little while. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

0:00.0	How are you? Happy Happy Thursday, man. Can't believe it's already Thursday. I get out of
0:19.4	it on Monday morning. Ready to go, get a lot of stuff done all week long, and then come
0:22.7	Thursday. It's like, it's the weekend. Almost. Let's go do nothing. And that's what today
0:27.8	shows out all about. It's about doing nothing, but not that nothing you're thinking about.
0:30.9	It's a special kind of something that is actually nothing if you do it right and will get you
0:35.3	more of what you want. In only a way that's Scott Lodge, you can deliver it for you. So, if
0:39.5	you're a fan of doing nothing, listen to the show. It's going to make sense to you. I promise,
0:44.7	particularly if you want to make more money, okay? It is the daily boost from MotivationToMovie.com,
0:49.0	the positive boost you need every single day, because you're the boss of you, aren't you? Yep.
0:53.6	And one day you sat down to yourself, say, boss of me, this is what I want.
0:59.2	I want more money. I want more happiness. I want better relationships. This is what I want.
1:03.4	I should get it. I deserve it. And you do, by the way. But you're saying this to yourself,
1:07.0	because it's, you know, it's that little brain your brain talking to you and like, I deserve
1:10.2	this stuff. And I just want whatever, right? And so you, the conscious, you says, yeah, you're
1:15.6	right. I agree. Let's go get it. And I can week later. I was like, what was I thinking?
1:23.6	I forget. And like a year later, maybe even worse, it's the end of 2022. You're doing a year in
1:27.4	review. What happened in 2022? And you're like, oh, hmm. See, you're the boss of you. You gave
1:33.8	yourself a command, but because you're boss of you, you can ignore yourself. If you ignore your
1:37.3	real boss, they'll fire you, but you can't fire yourself, can you? So this show is basically about
1:42.2	knowing you can't fire yourself. You're stuck. So it may as well get off your ass and do something.
1:45.7	And we'll help you do that today. Ask to talk about nothing. Hey, it's me Scott Smith,
1:49.1	founder, chief motivating officer here at MotivationMove.com.
