Run Your Life Like a Business With a Positive ROI

Daily Boost Podcast Show Notes Run Your Life Like a Business With a Positive ROI June 12, 2025 | Episode - 5114 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description Want to transform your life and actually see results? I’m sharing my four-step approach to running your life like a business to get a positive return on investment in everything you do. After 20 years and over 5,000 episodes, I’ve learned that success comes down to treating your personal growth like a profitable business. No more spinning your wheels or ending up with less than you started with. Featured Story Scott opens up about a vulnerable moment when his wife forgot to make his lunch before leaving for an appointment, making him feel like a three-year-old asking “What am I going to eat, mommy?” This honest story leads into a powerful discussion about how businesses require positive ROI, and your life should too. Just like a business can’t survive losing money, you shouldn’t invest time and energy into activities that leave you worse off than when you started. Important Points Every business must generate profit to survive, and your life should operate the same way - you need positive returns on your investments of time and energy. Most people have experienced ending up with less than they started with in some area of life, but unlike businesses that can fail completely, you have the ability to switch gears and change direction when needed. The key to success lies in measuring your progress consistently, just like weighing yourself daily when losing weight, because “if you can’t measure it, you can’t succeed.” Memorable Quotes “Do more of what you love and less of what you don’t. That’s it.” “If you can’t measure it, you can’t succeed. You can only get where you want to go if you know where you’re going.” “Life is better when you have a positive return, a positive ROI in everything that you do.” Scott’s Three-Step Approach Decide what you do when you’re living a happy life and be very specific. Get in touch with what truly makes you happy - it’s probably simpler than you think and something you might not want to admit right now. Be flexible in your approach, find what works, lock it in, refine it if necessary, and keep doing it. Expect detours and changes, but stay committed to what consistently works for you. Set benchmarks, measure your progress, and when you miss milestones, immediately adjust and get back on track. Create key performance indicators for your life and use them to stay accountable to your goals. Connect With Me Search for The Daily Boost on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
