Summary

Creating a difference in your life is a non-stop process that requires simple actions to help you get what you want. And it is, after all, about getting what you want and keeping what you love. You’ll always go through these steps: 1) Decide. Everything begins with your decision to head off in a new direction. While sometimes you may feel like you’ve made a decision, if you’re not moving, you haven’t. 2) Define. Aimless wandering is fun when that’s what you’ve decided to do. Otherwise, it’s frustrating, exhausting, and takes place more than you think. When you define your path, you get to walk your path. 3) Deploy. As dull as the advice may be, putting your plan into action is the only way for you to get what you want. If you don’t deploy, you don’t get it. 4) Defend. After working so hard to get what you want, you can guarantee that something or somebody will try to take away your results. That’s not good or bad. That’s life. When you find what you love, be sure to defend it so you never lose it. Simple. I like simple. Simple works! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

How are you? Happy Thursday! Man, let's do this thing again, because we know that every single day we get out of bed that anything is possible, right?

0:23.2

Are you explore the possibilities of what you want to do? And then go do it. That's what we think,

0:28.2

but we also know if you've been alive for any length of time, that sometimes it's a bigger challenge than you think if we have to work through those challenges. Today we'll do that.

0:35.8

As we chat about steps of change and things, you just kind of have to do one of which I think you probably don't remember to do, but we'll get to that here in a little bit.

0:44.2

It is a daily boost from MotivationAmov.com. Life begins when you move, then we stand up, we take a step and repeat. Keep going till we get it, but sometimes life gets in the way, and when it does, we're here for you every day since when we started the show in 2006.

0:56.2

Every single day, hard to believe has been this long, and we have just under five years to go. I've decided it's five more years. Our 20th season will wrap up this show. I think that's enough. God willing, we'll make it that long. Anyway, how are you? Good to have you.

1:08.2

By the way, first thing I want to say, it's me, Scott Smith, founder, chief motivating officer here at MotivationAmov.com. You should come visit us there.

1:15.2

And if you'd like to, you can join us in the Facebook group. So I'm really active. Just go to dailyboostpodcast.com slash Facebook. It'll take you right there. Answer my couple simple questions. We'll let you in.

1:25.2

That's where I found out we were having some difficulties with the bodgas yesterday. Some tech gremlins got in the way and got out of bed and we went, okay, what happened?

1:33.2

It took about three hours to resolve the issue as they say. Thanks for your patience yesterday. And hopefully today everything came out just on time. It happened since when you have a daily podcast, you're going to get mistakes.

1:44.2

There's no way around it. Stuff happens through no fault of our own some of the time, not all the time. Steps to change.

1:53.2

Oh, goodness, goodness. If there is anything we talk about a lot around here, there's probably 10 topics that are always like top of mind and change is a big one.

2:02.2

People love it. People hate it. I'm exactly there. I actually embrace change pretty well because I know there's nothing I could do about it.

2:09.2

And I know that if if I want my life to be different, I have to be well and to go through the process of change, but it's also very scary sometimes.

2:15.2

So some folks are frozen and changed personally. I find that becomes an issue of lack of information more than anything, lack of experience. You just don't know. So you can't tell.

2:25.2

Some people just dive into it. And I'm kind of in between there somewhere. But there's still some places that we don't we have to think about when it comes to changing anything in our life, creating a difference in our life.

2:35.2

It's a bit of a non-stop process every single day, right? Every single day you get out of bed. I don't know if you're like me. If I if it's not changing every single day, I get bored.

2:43.2

So I like consistently, but I want something different to it. I want something better. I want to grow. And it requires some simple actions to get what you want.

2:51.2

Although it seems complicated sometimes. I know. So how do you do that? How do you go about getting what you want and doing what you love and continuing to be able to do that over time?

3:02.2

So let's go into four steps that I always know are just going to happen. And I always have to evaluate what I'm working with you. We're on the phone, a coaching call, a group call, whatever I'm doing. This is where I'm going to go. At some point in time, it's going to happen.

3:13.2

And I will explain some of the difficulties along the ways we get here. Number one thing that you need to do. Okay, I hang on. There's another step I didn't put in here.

3:22.2

There's another step. I just thought about it. Okay, wait. We'll get to that in a minute.
