The “Staying Focused” Question…
1 Comments Topic: Motivation, Personal GrowthYesterday I sent you a new video about my Flying Time Machine, and I started receiving another flood of emails asking very similar questions:
“Hey Scott - Loved the time machine metaphor for reaching my goals. Over the years I’ve been working hard to speed up my own ‘time machine’ and I just can’t land on those dang numbers yet! What gives? Looking forward to my landing soon, because you’re right - any landing is a great landing.” - Marcus (Ohio)
Here’s the ridiculously simple answer:
The reason ANY goal-setting ‘time machine’ or plan will work for you, as Brian Tracy says, is because…
“You become what you think about most of the time.”
In other words, the minute you begin to think about anything you want in your life for MOST of your time, it truly accelerates you toward your goal.

Test Drive My Newest Program For Me?
1 Comments Topic: Audio Programs, Motivation, Personal GrowthSo today I accomplished a really big goal - something I’ve been wanting to do for a long, long time.
I completed a brand new motivational program for MTMer’s and… well… if I may say so… it’s awesome.
And I want you to…
Be The FIRST To Take It For A Spin
Hey… I didn’t get my reputation for being a really “Persistent” guy who refuses to give up until I get what I want for nothing - but it felt good to check this one off the list.
Like Winston Churchill said, “Never give in. Never, never, never, never…”
I actually get a lot of my motivation from Mr. C…
“If you are going to go through hell, keep going.”
“I am an optimist. It does not seem too much use being anything else.”
“Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm.”
And my favorite…

0 Comments Topic: Fun Stuff, Motivation, Personal Growth
Do you remember how to dream? I really… really… really hope so.
Dreaming about what “could be” is one of the few things in life that is totally free and tons of fun to do. And since all of your goals in life are built upon what you dream - they’re pretty important to your success too.
Remembering how to dream is all about getting into the core of who you are and building your life from the inside out - and that’s what this episode of The Daily Boost will remind you how to do.

2009 Top 10 Countdown: #3 - How To Use Transitional Identity In Your Life
0 Comments Topic: Fun Stuff, Motivation, Personal Growth
Who YOU are is the most powerful thing you own. It’s called your identity and you can’t live without it.
So, what do you do when you want to make a few changes in your life and you suddenly feel totally out of your comfort zone?
Think of it this way.
When you decide to change something in your life, you are really changing from one identity to another - with a BIG GAP in between that just plain feels strange.
The trick to fixing that is to engage the power of “Transitional Identities” to hold you over while you move forward - and that’s the subject of this Daily Boost.

I Need A GPS For My Life
0 Comments Topic: Flying, Life In Balance, Motivation, Personal Growth
It’s been said that once you take to the air, you always look skyward.
That is certainly the case with me.
Learning to fly a few years back and now working on my Instrument Rating, I am constantly amazed that they actually let me fly an airplane all by myself.
It’s been a great adventure and from the very beginning, I’ve always known that becoming a pilot was a lot like learning to live life.
The other day Air Traffic Control cleared me for take off on Runway 27 out of Sanford, Florida.
I was just about ready to go, when a quick glance at the GPS told me everything I needed to know about flying and life.
You see, even though I started at the beginning, practiced for hours and hours to gain experience and even brushed up on my skills with a little retraining along the way…
And even though the GPS in front of me told me… Read More

Life Is Good When You Know Where To Look
1 Comments Topic: Life In Balance, Personal Growth
Here’s a vision for you.
This morning I’m standing in front of my full-length mirror, naked as a Jay bird (Thank you Ray Stephen’s), flexing my muscles, flashing my pearly whites, noticing I still had most of my hair, and thinking, “I look like my Dad - except in way better shape than he was at my age.”
This of course happened after an amazing re-birthday weekend that included a party where a server asked, “So who is turning 50?”
“Me!” I said. To which she replied… “NO WAY!”
That was totally awesome - and really makes me happy that I take care of myself most of the time.
There’s no doubt, today’s 50 is nothing like yesterday’s 50, and neither is today’s 100 - something that became very clear a when Joi’s mother invited us to join her and her “girlfriends” for Sunday lunch.
We’ve survived the buffet a few times before and I honestly enjoy engaging those wise folks… Read More

The Mindset Of Motivation
0 Comments Topic: Motivation, Personal GrowthWhen I founded MotivationToMove.com, I did it largely based on the simple concept that when we can gain control of our thoughts, we not only change our body, we change our entire life!
As a guy who lives in Orlando, I spend a lot of time at Disney World, where one of my favorite Walt Disney quotes, “If you can dream it, you can build it”, is played out in living color. What a dreamer; what a builder!
Still, if you have ever wanted something different in your life, have you noticed your mind doesn’t always get the memo?
What’s going on has everything to do with your Mindset – because no matter what you might be thinking – you are thinking something.
Your Mindset is simply the sum total of all your beliefs, values, identity, expectations, attitudes, habits, decisions, opinions, and thought patterns about yourself, others, and how life…

Tele-seminar replay and a really cool letter…
0 Comments Topic: Fun Stuff, Motivation, Personal GrowthI’m getting ready to take off for the weekend but I wanted to drop you a note and let you know Carlyn just finished editing the audio from the “How To Create My Perfect Day” tele-seminar I did a couple of days ago.
It’s really good stuff and you know what’s really cool?
During the seminar I was just blasting out information like a fire hose and hoping you guys could keep up.
Then I get this letter today…
Hi Scott,
First, thanks so much for a great teleseminar last evening. I think this
perfect day approach is setting off some rapid-fire clicks!I wanted to just share a thought with you - the most important question I
heard last night (which I didn’t realize this morning when I woke up with a
messy kitchen) is What do I have to do every day to get to that perfect
average day?To… Read More

I absolutely loved his reference to the brick wall. Never mind that the wall was going to be this huge accomplishment (Life). It really is about focusing on how each brick you lay (every day) is put created, structured and executed in the best way possible. Before you know it, that series of “perfect days” creates the “perfect life”
Thanks for sharing the video. Love the message!

You need to PYOTB for the job well done on Day 6 of the new SMSM program, I loved what you did with the bonus day/ music mix…I tried a few of these in the past from other downloads, but your prsentation was terrific…maybe I am partial to you. You mixed in just enough of your voice, music, motivation and comments. Would love to see (I mean hear) more of this. You made the intervals seem a breeze to push through. Great job Scott. Talk to you soon.
