Summary

In the last few years, it has become increasingly popular for people to share every little aspect of their lives with others. But, when it comes to getting what you want in life, keeping your plans to yourself is a powerful tool. Presidents weekend has just passed, and when I arrived at my desk on Tuesday, I had two messages from clients that made me smile. The first said, "I decided to spend my weekend practicing what I do in private so that I will be praised in public." That's something I’ve said and done many times. The second client told me they had completed a new project over the weekend and headed in a new direction. When I mentioned they had never said a word to me about it, they said, "I know. I'm learning that nobody needs to know what I'm doing to do. I'll do it, and they can catch up." My heart smiled as I witness three powerful tools that impact my client's lives: 1) Practice in private until you are ready to share with the world. Nobody needs to know how you got so good at what you do. 2) There's no need to tell anybody what you are going to do. Just do it and then let them know what you've done later. 3) It's easier to get things done when everybody else is busy doing something else and isn't poking their nose in your business. Long holiday weekends and summer vacations are a great place to begin. You can do whatever you want with your life, and you don't need anybody's permission or approval to make it happen. Your destiny is 100% up to you. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

0:00.0	How are you? Happy, happy, happy, happy Friday. Well, I love myself a Friday. I have been
0:20.6	dedicated because I, I don't plan to work on Friday or Monday. I plan a four day weekend.
0:25.2	Lately, I've been, I've been slipping in my plan a little bit. And so I've been
0:29.7	dedicated lately to really sticking on my schedule so that come Thursday afternoon I'm done for four
0:34.6	days and it is. It's been awesome. I'm wearing myself out having fun. Anyway, glad to have
0:40.3	you here today. So are you sharing your plans? Are you talking to too many people about what the
0:45.2	stuff you want to do? Is it knocking you down? Is it not working for you? Is it coming back to
0:49.2	bite you? Stop it. Well, chat about that today. Why you should not share your plans with everybody.
0:53.6	On this, the daily boost from motivation to move.com, stand up, take a step repeat. Life begins when
0:58.6	you move. There's no doubt about that. But, you know, the, the realist in me, the stoic in me,
1:02.8	if you will, recognize something a long, long time ago. It's like this idea, this grandiose idea
1:08.3	of something I wanted to do. And then it, it was hard. But I was in high school and I wanted to get
1:13.1	into radio when I wanted to be a DJ as my mom. So a DJ emphasis on the J. And I wanted to do that.
1:20.4	And then I found out something. I found out that well, evidently, you don't just walk in a
1:23.3	radio station and they hire you to be a DJ on the air. But, evidently, you got to do something to
1:26.7	get a job. I always say that because I actually did walk in and said, I want to be on the air.
1:32.3	Yeah, I know. I've been doing this a long time. Same, same behavior again and again. Just walk in
1:36.8	and try. But then I, I realized life got in the way. And I had to do other things. And I had to,
1:43.2	that's what this shows all about. It's kind of, I guess, getting you to just walk in the door
1:48.0	and ask it for whatever you want. But understanding life gets in the way and you're going to have to
1:52.8	work in it a little bit. And that's what we do every single day around here. It is me, Scott Smith,
1:56.0	good to have you here today. Thank you for stopping by on this Friday on Fridays. I always begin.
