So here we are

2026.

What are you going to do?

It's kind of a do-over, isn't it?

I mean, if you got through 2025

and you got into 2026,

it really is a do-over.

So what are you going to do over?

I need a boost.

I need a daily boost. I need a boost. I need a boost. I need a daily boost. I need a daily boost. I need a daily boost. It is a daily boost from Motivation.com. So let me, I'm not getting negative here, but you know, some people got all the way through 2025. They did. Good, bad, indifferent didn't really matter. They got through 2025. They

arrived over the holiday season. Here we go. It's the holiday season. And then they died.

Stuff happens. They don't get the do-over. So if you got through it and it's here, you get a do-over. So whatever you're going to do, I hope you have some plan. And by the way, I'm not going to be one of those hypey guys who says, you got to have all your goals and go for it and everything is a must must must you got I yes I play that game I do I'm I'm an aggressive guy when it comes to getting what I want but I'm also kind of a chill guy I we design what I call a peaceful base that's kind of what I do around here I think you should have a peaceful base in every single part of your life I think you you should have control of every part of your life. And from there, you operate at whatever level you want to. And one thing I know for sure is that if you don't have a solid peaceful base built in where you're paying your bills and you've got a support community and all that stuff, it is really hard to become who you want to be. That's why around here, we always focus on building that

peaceful base, and it's a lot of fun to do. Did I say I was Scott Smith? That's who I am. You'll remember that name. It is so difficult. People asked me one time, I said, what's your name, man? I said, Zabrinsky. I said, Zabrinsky. How do you spell that? I said, S-M-I-T-H. It's awesome. Gets a joke every time.

All right, let me give you a system this year, okay?

I've done this before.

This is one of my cornerstone thoughts. my TH. It's awesome. It gets a joke every time. All right, let me give you a system this year.

Okay. I've done this before. This is one of my cornerstone thoughts that I use all the time. I use it for myself. I use it for my clients. And you can use it too. Every time I do this, people say, that's a good idea. So that's what I'm going to do for you today. Okay. as we get in the year. It's a bit of a map system, a bit of a way for you to look at your goal setting and what you're going to do this year. We all need a map. But I say maps. It's a M-A-P-S, a system that gets kind of the thinking out of the way. It focuses on a couple of areas. So where does it focus? Well, the first spot is it focuses on motivation. That's the M. You need motivation. Everything begins with the what, right? That's what I believe. I know Simon Sinek says, it's the why, Scott. Life has taught me, and I've done the science, and I've read your books and everything else. Life has taught me, it's people always say, what do I want first? And then the why comes. And then the motivation kicks in. So once you know something you want to do, then you get all excited about. The why comes in. And you need motivation. Motivation comes from inspiration. It comes from a lot of cool places. Anticipation. It creates motivation. If you don't have at least core motivation, the rest of what I'm going to talk about doesn't matter. You got to get fired up. So the M in the map system is make sure whatever you're going to do, it's you're motivated to do it. And I will tell you this. I'll even go so far as to say, I have learned. If I'm not motivated to go do something, I simply don't do it. I won't start. I'll sit until I get the motivation. I wait until I have that trigger. Next is accountability.

That's the A in the system and the map system. Being accountable and accepting responsibility for the results will empower your success in every possible way. If it's to be, it's up to me. It's a great way to get started. And sometimes it's scary. We had a lot of clients this past year.

It's been a weird year for a lot of people, particularly the business people I work with. The economy's changing. Social media is changing. AI is changing everything. A lot of folks have felt in the corner. They didn't know what to do. And one of the things that I've done is I've had to say, listen, I know you feel like you're sitting in a corner being poked at.

We all feel that way sometimes.

But you're the only one that can do it.

And I know you feel like you're sitting in a corner being poked at. We all feel that way sometimes. But you're the only one that can do it. And I know it's really bad when you're, it feels so terrible. When you know you're the only one who can fix it, you don't want to. I'll take my toys and go home. But there you sit in the corner, accepting responsibility that you're the one that will take on the day and win the day, and that will empower everything.
