Daily Boost Podcast Show Notes You Already Have Permission to Go For It July 16, 2025 | Episode - 5138 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description After 20 years of coaching thousands of people, I figured out something powerful this morning that'll blow your mind. Every single successful person I've worked with has one thing in common - and I bet you're living it right now. They're brilliant, experienced, and incredibly successful on the surface. But here's the kicker - they're also feeling suffocated at the same time. They're stuck building other people's dreams instead of their own. The solution? It's simpler than you think, and I'm firing you up to take action today. Featured Story I shared my personal breaking point from 2006 when everything changed. I was stuck in TV and radio, making decent money but feeling completely lost. Then life hit me like a freight train - my wife Cheryl got cancer and was gone in less than 100 days at just 46 years old. That moment taught me life's way too short to spend another minute doing something that doesn't drive you. I refused to arrive at retirement never having really lived, so I started the Daily Boost and began helping people stop waiting and start living. Important Points Most successful people are stuck building other people's dreams at their own expense, creating a feeling of being successful yet suffocated simultaneously. Every person I've coached over 20 years has needed the same thing - permission from someone to say it's okay to go after what they really want. There are two critical areas you must master: facing your passion and funding your passion, because if you can't figure out how to pay for it, you won't do it. Memorable Quotes "Most people are stuck building the dreams of other people at their expense." "You have my permission. You have God's permission. You have the universe's permission to do what you feel you need to do." "If you don't know your purpose, your purpose is to find your purpose." Scott's Three-Step Approach Give yourself permission right now to pursue what makes you smile - that thing you already know you want to do but haven't acted on. Find someone who will support your decision and help you work through the practical details of making it happen. Focus on solving both facing your passion and funding your passion simultaneously, because you need both to make it work. Connect With Me Search for The Daily Boost on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
