Motivation is great to get you going, but sometimes you need something more practical. What if I could give you a three-letter word that could change everything this year? Over the holidays, my toilet broke, my fireplace died, my wife's car battery drained, and the church audio system crashed right before service. Every single one had to be fixed. That's what 2026 is about. We're going to wire up your dreams and motivation, but mostly we're going to fix what's broken. Life meets us head-on, and sometimes you just need to get it done. Featured Story Two and a half minutes before church service, I'm running audio for 300 people. The computers went bad. The monitors went out. The audio started glitching. The band's coming on stage, everyone's ready to go, and we're looking at each other like, what are we going to do? Ten seconds to go and it wasn't working. But I only had one thing I had to do: fix it. Because when 300 people are waiting for an inspirational service to start, it has to work. Same with the toilet, the fireplace, and the car battery. Sometimes life isn't about more motivation. It's about meeting problems head-on and fixing what's broken so you can move forward. Important Points When your air conditioning goes out in August Florida, motivation won't cool you down. It has to be fixed now. Clients come to me for dreams and passion, but they run out of money or runway. We've got to fix that problem first. Years ago, my theme song started with "when life gets in the way." That's exactly where we are right now in 2026. Memorable Quotes "If it's broke, you've got to fix it. That's why people tell me life coaches say you're not broken. Something is." "Life is about meeting life right where it meets you. Head on moments and fix what's broken, get it done, move on." "We're going to take your aspiration and dreams, wire that up, and fix stuff so you can move on with a peaceful base." Scott's Three-Step Approach Identify what's actually broken in your life that's keeping you from moving forward and getting what you want right now. Stop waiting for motivation to fix it and start treating it like a practical problem that needs solving today. Get it done, create that peaceful base you need, then move on to all the dreams and aspirations you're really after.
