Summary

Most people say they want success or freedom — but when I ask them to define it, they go blank. That's the real problem. Vague goals create vague lives. Recording from Daytona Bike Week with a head cold and a Harley I can't ride, I've been thinking about what people really want. The answer isn't freedom — it's options. Options are freedom made concrete. In this episode, I break down the OPTIONS framework: a seven-step approach that helps you stop reacting, start choosing, and build a life that actually aligns with who you are. Featured Story I'd been coaching a client for a year. We'd been going deep together, building something real. Then one day I took it back to basics — I asked him what he really wanted. He said freedom. I pushed him. What does that actually mean? He hemmed and hawed for a minute. Finally, what he really meant was money, time control, and more time with his family. But he couldn't get there on his own. That's when I tried a different word. Instead of "freedom," what if we called it "options"? He stopped cold. Something clicked. That one word shift opened up everything — and it's become the foundation of the framework I use with every client today. Important Points "Success" and "freedom" both sound amazing until you actually try to define them — that's where most people stall. The OPTIONS framework gives you a clear, repeatable way to pause, choose wisely, and move forward with purpose. When your choices line up with your values, life gets clearer fast, momentum builds, and the right results follow. Memorable Quotes The last thing you want is to ever feel trapped — what you really want more than anything else in life is options. When you live within your value set, and your actions truly match your values, you really are living a good life. Once you become aware of what's actually happening in your life, you can't unsee it — and that changes everything. Scott's Three-Step Approach Observe what's actually happening and pause before you react — that awareness is where every good decision begins. Think through your possibilities, then identify the option that truly aligns with who you've already decided to be. Organize your plan, take a small deliberate action right away, then start living that choice as your new default.

How are you? Come on in here. Man, good to have you here today. Happy Thursday. And, uh, man, listen to me. I actually almost have a voice today. This head cold has been ick. But now I'm kind of sexy sounding, I think. Don't you think so? I don't know. Hey, you got a new thing for you today. It's an options framework and you're going to like it. I need a boost.

Good to have you today.

And thanks for putting up with me with my head gold here and my very raspy sound. Feeling better. I appreciate the notes that you've been sending. That's been awesome. Just a nasty cold. Just not any fun at all. I was drowning yesterday. And I kind of felt it turned a little bit today. So I think I'm on the downhill side of this thing. Thank goodness. The worst

0:54.3

part about it, by the way, is I live in Daytona Beach, Port Orange, Florida. It's a beautiful time of the year. It's like 73, 74 degrees. It's awesome. It's Daytona Bike Week this week. I've got a motorcycle in the garage at 2024 Harley Street Line. And I can't ride it because I don't feel good. And when I don't feel good, I'm not safe and I won't go out there. So I'm hoping

1:13.0

tomorrow I'll get some motorcycle time in, about 400,000 motorcycles from all over the world here right now. And I just want to get out and have some fun with them. So today, we're going to talk a little bit about a framework that I introduced during my inner circle today. And I've never dropped it on people. I'll tell you the

1:27.8

story where it came from and why it originated here and why you may want to learn this. It's about

1:33.2

creating options in your life, not being reactive, but having more options in your life. So I'll drop

1:39.0

that here in just a second. The inner circle is fantastic. Let me give you an example of what we do

1:43.5

there and why this had such an impact. The inner circle is small group. We only you an example of what we do there and why this had

1:44.4

such an impact. The inner circle is small group. We only had six, seven people on the call today.

1:48.8

It goes to about 15, maybe 16, but it's a small group. This is private coaching with me in a group

1:54.3

environment. And it's incredibly powerful when you put the two together. These are high capacity

people. They're like you. They got the job. They got the house. They got all the stuff. They're smart. And we work between the lines because it's a nuance. It's between the lines. A lot of what you hear on the show every single day. But we work one-on-one on that to help them do more what they want to do and get grounded and get the life they want, right? if you're interested in being a part of a group like that, you may fit. Send a note, hey, Scott Smith on Instagram. Just tell me you're interested in the inner circle. Or send me a note to coaching at Motivation to Move.com. And I will get back to you and we'll talk and see if it's a good fit. And I'll give you all the information you need. and it's a two-way street on this one. It's either a good fit both ways or we don't do it, okay? So I'm just telling you. I can sell you.

It's a good fit. And I'll give you all the information you need. And it's a two-way street on this one. It's either good fit both ways or we don't do it. Okay, so I can sell you. It's a good fit or it's not. Okay. So where do I start with this thing? Here's how it arrived. There's a couple of words in my world that we say all the time. Success is one of the words you hear all the time in the world of personal growth and just about anyplace else. Everybody wants success. Now, for the longest time, I have not liked the word success. And the reason I haven't is because I never quite understood what it meant. And neither did any client I ever talk to. When I asked him, I said, what do you mean by success?

They would not have a clear answer. And you've got to be specific or you're not going to get
