This week's episode was recorded in India.Not in practice.Not on Zoom.Dr Vismai Schonfelder and I sat side-by-side after a day serving kids in rural communities and hit record.It turned into less of an interview…and more of a debrief about what actually makes practice work.We cover:Specificity: why generic “stress talks” don't cut through, but “anxious brain” doesIdeal clients: why relevance beats reachTransactional vs relational: how one model feels like pushing a rock uphillThe flywheel most chiropractors never build: retention, referrals, reactivationsThe Cringe Razor: a simple ethical filter for marketing and practice decisionsAI vs human touch: why content is getting cheaper… and connection is getting rarer (and more valuable)We also talk about the Nalu giving program and one small intervention that changes outcomes fast: a $10 school uniform.If you've felt torn between “grow the business” and “stay true to your values,”… This conversation will help.Learn more about Vismaihttps://thevismai.com/To learn more about Aligned Practicehttps://insideoutpractices.thinkific.com/products/communities/aligned-practiceCheck out the Retention Recipe https://insideoutpractices.thinkific.com/courses/retention-recipe-2-0To learn more about Reactivate to Accelerate https://insideoutpractices.thinkific.com/courses/reactivateLearn more about Daily Visit Communication 2.0https://insideoutpractices.thinkific.com/courses/daily-visitEmail me - martin@insideoutpractices.com

In this episode of More Than Photos, Brad shares a powerful metaphor drawn from a skiing trip in Colorado to explain why growth in your business can suddenly feel exhausting—even when you're experienced and capable. This conversation reframes pricing, markets, and “leveling up” not as a ladder to climb, but as terrain that requires conditioning. If growth has felt heavy, chaotic, or discouraging lately, this episode offers clarity, language, and a healthier path forward.Key TakeawaysStrain is not always a sign of growth — often it's feedbackDifferent markets aren't better or worse, just different terrainRaising prices isn't about numbers; it's about readinessSustainable growth requires conditioning, not shortcutsEndurance, specificity, and emotional regulation matter more than tacticsA healthy business should support your life, not consume itLinksPurpose and Profit Course https://learn.bradandjen.com/purpose-and-profit-courseMastermind Coaching https://learn.bradandjen.com/mastermind-coachingChapters(00:00) A skiing story that reframes growth(02:45) Why doing “the right things” can still feel wrong(05:00) Growth vs. strain: learning to read the feedback(06:30) Why markets aren't a ladder—but terrain(08:45) The three muscles every creative must build(09:00) Endurance: systems, structure, and sustainability(10:30) Specificity: confidence, taste, and clarity(12:00) Breathing at altitude: handling pressure and expectations(13:30) The danger of leaping instead of stepping(15:00) A real-life filmmaker case study(17:30) What aligned growth actually produces(19:00) Invitation to go deeper with intentionKeywordscreative growth, photography business, burnout, pricing photographers, creative sustainability, purpose and profit, photography education, creative business coaching, imposter syndrome, raising prices, More Than Photos podcast

In this conversation, Charles Good and Nancy Harhut delve into the intricate relationship between leadership, marketing, and behavioral science. They explore how understanding decision-making shortcuts, the power of emotion, and principles like loss aversion and the endowment effect can significantly enhance marketing strategies. The discussion emphasizes the importance of ethical marketing practices, the role of social proof, and how leveraging scarcity and exclusivity can drive customer engagement and conversion.TAKEAWAYSMost performance problems don't show up as learning problems.Leading with emotion accelerates action.People make decisions for emotional reasons and justify them later.Loss aversion outperforms promised gains in marketing.We value things more when we think of them as ours.Scarcity and exclusivity can create urgency in marketing.Giving first without strings attached fosters reciprocity.Social proof influences decision-making significantly.Specificity in testimonials enhances credibility.Authenticity in marketing is more effective than perfection.Chapters00:00 Understanding Marketing Blind Spots01:47 The Power of Behavioral Science in Marketing02:14 High-Cost Mistakes in Marketing04:06 Quick Wins with Behavioral Science05:15 The Role of Emotion in Decision Making 08:52 Leveraging Loss Aversion12:09 The Endowment Effect and Customer Ownership15:31 Scarcity and Exclusivity in Marketing21:21 The Principle of Reciprocity23:39 The Power of Reciprocity in Business25:05 Leveraging Social Proof for Credibility26:40 The Role of Peer Influence in Decision Making29:13 Authenticity in Social Proof and Reviews31:33 The Importance of Storytelling in Marketing33:47 Key Insights and TakeawaysNewsletter: https://charlesgood.substack.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/charlesagood/

Consistency is Key.   Most people spend weeks overthinking their first LinkedIn post, waiting for the perfect idea or brand. Jessie Van Bruegel believes that the approach is backwards. As a content strategist and creator who's posted daily on LinkedIn for nearly four years, he's built a business helping experts productize their knowledge into scalable info offerings, backed by purple-branded visuals that are hard to miss. In this episode of Rising Tide Startups, host Kevin Prewett talks with Jessie about quitting a tech unicorn job in Amsterdam during the pandemic and becoming one of LinkedIn's most recognizable voices. After struggling to monetize on Twitter despite building 10,000 followers, Jessie committed to a 30-day LinkedIn streak in April 2022. He's still going, and that consistency has helped drive millions in revenue for his clients. Jessie breaks down why the hook matters most, how he separates ideation from creation to keep content sustainable, and why “the things only you can say” will be the differentiator in 2026. He also shares his Monday scheduling routine, his authority-content formula, and what's behind his lead magnet posts, including how 40% now hit 1,000+ comments. Plus, why he calls himself the “ultimate guinea pig,” testing AI workflows and YouTube growth before teaching what works. Key Takeaways: Say the Things Only You Can Say. Generic content is a commodity. Specificity, personal experience, and a unique perspective create markets where you have no competition. Focus on Inputs, Not Outputs. You can't control views, likes, or shares. You can control how often you post, how deeply you research, and how consistently you show up. Separate Ideation From Creation. Use different parts of your brain for different tasks. Collect ideas continuously, then schedule dedicated time to write and produce. The Hook Is Everything. If the first two lines don't create a curiosity gap, nobody reads the rest. Spend 80% of your effort on the hook and visual. Build Systems, Not Habits. Entrepreneurs aren't content creators—they're business owners. Marketing should be a scheduled task, not an all-day activity. Volume Negates Luck. Compress six months of work into three weeks. Post more, learn faster, and identify what works through rapid iteration.

If you remove your name and profile picture from a post and someone else can copy it word-for-word, it's not specific enough." Please leave us an honest rating on Spotify, YouTube, or Apple Podcasts.

This is about understanding how energy, certainty, and self identity actually work and why vague desires create vague results.I'm sharing why the Universe responds to declarations instead of wishes, how vagueness is a form of self-protection, and why premium clients, aligned relationships, and sustainable success are attracted through precision, not effort.If you've been “doing the work” but still feel like things aren't landing the way you want, this episode will completely reframe how you think about manifestation, leadership, and receiving.Follow me on Instagram: @iammelissaruizPS: Unleash & Unveil Your Soul Business is officially open for 2026 we starts 2/2A BREAKDOWN OF THIS EPISODE:00:00 — Why 2026 Responds to ClarityHow clarity and transparency have become the dominant frequencies and why vague intentions no longer work.03:18 — Manifestation Isn't Magic, It's PrecisionWhy the universe doesn't respond to “I kind of want” energy and how clean decisions move faster than effort.09:06 — Vagueness as Self-ProtectionWhy staying unclear keeps you safe from failure but also keeps you stuck.13:28 — Why Spiritual Entrepreneurs Struggle With SpecificityHow living in abstraction and esoteric language hurts communication, sales, and growth.15:55 — Premium Buyers Move Fast (Here's Why)Why premium buyers aren't defined by money but by certainty and self-trust.21:34 — Identity Before ResultsWhy your life doesn't change until your behaviors, environment, and self-concept do.26:12 — Relationships, Business & Naming What You WantHow being unclear in love mirrors being unclear in business.28:47 — Thoughts, Frequency & the Quantum ResponseWhy thoughts become things faster than the body can catch up and what blocks manifestation.30:10 — Non-Attachment & Real PowerWhy you can lose things but never lose your value, peace, or self.Stay ConnectedFollow me on Instagram: @iammelissaruizPS: Unleash & Unveil Your Soul Business is officially open for 2026.Whether you're starting your business or refining your positioning, launches, and ability to attract aligned, premium clients, this container is designed to support your next evolution.

New Year´s resolutions don´t work – but a transformational 2026 is still within your reach. It´s in your control to make it your most impactful year yet. All it takes is one small, positive habit change. Kat explains how to identify which area of your life to focus on and which small yet powerful habit change to make. KEY TAKEAWAYS New Year's resolutions often fail because they're too big, vague, and numerous. Real change comes from small, realistic shifts that fit into real life. Start the habit of writing down your thoughts (journaling). That is how you will identify what really matters to you and choose the right small habit change to make. The positive habit commitment that you stick to starts to have this incredible ripple effect. It will improve areas of your life that you can't even imagine. The way to actually achieve all of those goals is to start with one thing. Then, you can stack and you can gradually build on top of it. Specificity and a strong ‘why' are what turn goals into lasting habits. It's far more powerful to commit to being a healthy, energised person for life than to chase short‑term fixes like losing weight for a single event. Committing for 21 days builds evidence that you can trust yourself. That single daily habit change creates a ripple effect. It subtly improves areas of your life you didn't even expect to change. Your thoughts, beliefs, and behaviours are both the biggest barrier and the biggest key to your future. BEST MOMENTS “2026 can be the year that you dreamed of. It really can.” " You don't have to say you can do it for the whole year, just start off with doing it for 21 days." "Journaling - it's essentially just writing your thoughts down. That is how you get clarity, that is how you regain control, and that is how you can take your life to a whole new level." ABOUT THE HOST Kat started her career as a teacher, before moving into Tech where she worked in different executive roles within teaching and consulting working across the globe, both in the public and private sector. Despite appearing 'successful' on the outside, she paid a heavy ‘life' price. In 2016, her whole world collapsed. The reason? The compound effect of years of unhealthy and toxic habits that destroyed her health, relationship, and career. She suffered a severe breakdown and lost everything. In the middle of this she got headhunted for her first CEO role. She rebuilt herself by changing just one small habit and built a series of positive habits which has transformed her professional and personal performance, resulting in becoming the healthiest and happiest version of herself. She is a positive habits international keynote speaker and teacher, giving talks and delivering high impact programmes to organisations across the globe.

In this episode, we unpack why many doctor coaches avoid making clear or bold promises in their marketing, and how that avoidance is quietly costing them clients. There's a uniquely physician-specific layer at play: medical training, the “do no harm” mindset, and the fear of being seen as inexperienced.You'll learn why coaching is not a clinical outcome, what you're actually promising when you promise results, and why specificity creates safety in the buyer's brain. This episode reframes confidence, experience, and responsibility so you can stand behind a clear Point B, even before you have testimonials.What You'll LearnWhy doctor coaches feel especially uncomfortable promising specific resultsThe hidden fears that drive vague marketingHow vagueness signals uncertainty and risk to potential clientsWhy coaching outcomes are belief-led, not clinically guaranteedWhat it really means to “promise results”The difference between owning outcomes vs. owning the processHow to confidently sign clients even without testimonialsThe identity shift that creates real authority as a coachKey TakeawaysWhy Doctor Coaches Stay Vague Many new coaches avoid specific promises out of fear—fear of being questioned, blamed, or seen as inexperienced. The issue isn't bold promises; it's uncertainty in positioning.The Doctor-Specific Trap “Do no harm” often gets misapplied to marketing, causing doctors to treat coaching like a clinical guarantee instead of belief-led change.Why Vagueness Hurts Sales Buyers' brains crave clarity. Vague messaging signals risk and uncertainty. Specificity creates safety and confidence.What You're Actually Promising You're not controlling outcomes—you're owning the bridge: the process that moves someone from Point A to Point B.What the Coach Owns The process, belief in the process, belief in the client, coaching frameworks, and skillful work with resistance—all within your control.What the Client Owns Showing up, engaging discomfort, and using the process—skills you help them learn as part of the bridge.Confidence Without Testimonials If you've coached yourself to a result, you already have proof. Helping others change is often easier than changing yourself.The Identity Shift Adopt this belief: I am the coach who figures it out. This identity creates confidence, follow-through, and mastery over time.Let's Connect: On Instagram On Facebook On LinkedIn On TikTok On my website

Send us a textIn this episode, musical theatre playwright Isaac Laskin stopped by Playwright's Spotlight to talk about the the development and evolution of his hit L.A. musical Hey, Morgan. He dispels the rumor of being challenged to write a musical about a dear friend, how the origination started as individual standalone songs about his roommate and how it later evolved into a musical. We unpack its growth from a short-run, small-theater production into a bigger, longer running show which included a copy of the soundtrack for the audience to leave with. We discuss the logistics of the cast album, writing multilayered/tracked songs, comedy in the current climate, pushing the envelope and crossing the line, and putting it out into the public for outside production. It's an inspiring conversation, where even the most simple concepts and turn into much more ambitious projects. Enjoy!Isaac Laskin is a musical playwright, actor, director, musician, and screenwriter. His hit musical Hey Morgan ran the LA circuit at The Attic Theater in January 2011 and made a revival at the Black Dalia Theatre from 2011 through 2012.

We visited renowned architect Bernard Khoury in his studio in Karantina, who offered a critical, unvarnished look at the reality of practicing architecture in Lebanon, contrasting it with the sugarcoated story of the "Phoenix coming out of its ashes". He discusses his career beginnings, the 2020 Beirut port explosion, and how his first project—the infamous B018 nightclub—was a radically specific and necessary response to the city's complex, macabre history and unstable political and economic context. Khoury shares his philosophical approach to architecture, which rejects stylistic gestures in favor of an obsession with specificity and a direct confrontation with Beirut's explosive nature, arguing for a practice that produces honest, if sometimes "sour" meaning in the present rather than succumbing to toxic simplifications. 00:00 The Sourness and Complexity of Beirut01:23 Bernard Khoury's Karantina Studio and the Beirut Explosion03:12 His First Project: B018 in Karantina04:01 The Illusion and Disillusion of the Post-War Era05:42 An Architect's Dilemma: Designing for an Expiry Date12:56 Solidere, Immaterial Ownership, and a New Urbanism15:44 The Cultural Significance of B01817:05 B018's Site: A Macabre History19:40 From Furniture Factory to Architecture Practice22:52 Khalil Khouri: Modern Architect with Certainties27:23 A Generational Difference in Practice28:57 Rejected Labels: What Bernard Khoury Hates to Be Called...31:41 Style vs. Specificity 36:00 Estrangement and Addiction to a Very Intense Environment42:00 Bernard Khoury's Criticism of Solidere's Historical Narrative Born in Beirut (1968), Bernard Khoury studied architecture at the Rhode Island school of Design (BFA 1990 / B.Arch 1991) and Harvard University (M.Arch 1993). He was awarded by the municipality of Rome, the Borromini Prize honorable mention given to architects under 40 years of age (2001), the Architecture + Award (2004), the CNBC Award (2008) and nominated for several awards including the Aga Khan award (2002 / 2004/ 2021), the Chernikov prize (2010) and the Mies van der Rohe Award (2021). He co-founded the Arab Center for Architecture (2008), was a visiting professor in several universities including the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne and L'Ecole Spéciale d'Architecture in Paris. He has lectured and exhibited his work in over 150 institutions, including solo shows at the Aedes gallery in Berlin (2003), the Spazio per l'architecttura Milano (2016) and numerous group shows including YOU prison at the Fondazione Sandretto in Torino (2008), the opening show of the MAXXI museum in Roma (2010), the Frac Architecture Biennale in Orleans (2018), the Oris House of Architecture in Zagreb (2020) and the Architecture Biennale of Seoul (2021). He was the architect and co-curator of the Kingdom of Bahrain's national pavilion at the Venice Architecture Biennale (2014). Over the years he has developed an international reputation and a diverse portfolio of projects in over fifteen countries.

He explores how inner alignment fuels outward success, the power of leading with vulnerability, and how storytelling can be the catalyst for influence and connection. It's a masterclass in communication that truly resonates. 1. Parenthood Becoming a parent reshaped Ravi's perspective on leadership and legacy. Children reflect the examples we set—our integrity, actions, and mindset matter. Personal growth becomes urgent when others look to you as a model. 2. Masks, Authenticity, and Alignment We wear masks to protect ourselves, but they often block genuine connection. True growth happens when we embrace who we are, not who we pretend to be. Removing the mask can be the catalyst to meaningful relationships and self-leadership. 3. Redefining Charisma Charisma isn't about attention—it's about making others feel they matter. Ravi's ASI framework (Authenticity, Specificity, Impact) turns compliments into transformations. When people feel seen and heard, they unlock their own potential. 4. From Pain to Story to Influence Ravi guides listeners to turn personal challenges into powerful stories. His "Acorn Checklist" (Attention, Conflict, Outcome, Relevance, Narrative) helps craft stories that stick. Your story is a bridge—when shared well, it invites others to step into their own journey. 5. Technology and Human Connection AI can support growth, but it must not replace human reflection and depth. Fast results without inner work risk shallow success. Use tools like AI to make space for deep conversations, not avoid them.

As women, especially Moms, we have life experiences that have formed us. Our struggles and triumphs become a message to share to inspire others. In a world where we continuously seek ways to make a difference, the power of sharing our experiences and insights has never been more crucial. Whether you're driven by a sense of purpose or a desire to impact others positively, speaking can be a transformative tool in your journey. Unfortunately, many individuals feel a calling to share their message, but are often held back by uncertainty and self-doubt. However, if you have an impactful message, we want to help you start speaking today to share your story and make a difference. Your Unique Message to Share Everyone has a story or perspective that deserves to be shared. It's common to compare our stories to others, wondering if they are significant enough. Remember, what seems ordinary to you might be life-changing for others. The value of your message lies in its authenticity and relatability, not in pomp or spectacle. Embrace this reality and step forward to share what makes your journey unique. Start Speaking: Find Your Focus If you want to start speaking, clarity is your friend. Begin by defining what you want to be known for—your speaker statement. This involves identifying who you can help and how your speaking can facilitate that transformation. Specificity in your message enables you to connect with the right audience. Rather than trying to cover numerous topics, focus on one area where your insights can have the most significant impact. Overcoming the Fear of Speaking For many, anxiety and fear are significant hurdles to becoming a speaker. Shifting from seeing public speaking as a performance to viewing it as a service can make a huge difference. By focusing less on yourself and more on the needs of your audience, the pressure to be perfect diminishes. Think of yourself as a lighthouse, guiding others with your insights, instead of a spotlight, seeking validation. Read the full show notes and access all links.

Special Guest Mary Cravets To help focus their efforts, complete the quiz on my size at https://simplygetclients.com. This offers serious direction and tools, rather than just being a fluffy time-waster. Welcome to another episode of the Podcast Profits Unleashed! Today, I had the absolute pleasure of speaking with Mary Cravets, an expert who helps busy entrepreneurs and service-based professionals attract more clients and increase their income by 50% or more—without working nights and weekends. If you've ever felt like your business requires endless hustle, this episode is a must-listen. Mary shared her personal story of hitting extreme adrenal exhaustion just two years into her business, with only four hours of energy per week to work while providing half of her household income. From that place of desperation, she discovered the transformative question: “What's working?” By focusing only on what produced real results, she dropped 80% of the frantic marketing efforts and built a system that grew her business effortlessly. We dive deep into her practical strategies for simplifying client generation, including: identifying your top clients, tracking which marketing strategies actually bring results, and creating predictable referral systems. Mary emphasizes specificity—knowing exactly who your clients are, how to reach them, and what lead generation activities to prioritize. Some of the biggest takeaways I had from this episode: ✨ I don't need to do everything—only what works. ✨ Focusing on measurable results instead of “ego metrics” like likes or views creates real business growth. ✨ Referrals can be predictable when you build strategic “centers of influence” relationships. ✨ Having processes and systems in place allows me to detach from the outcome and keep my business running even during life's curveballs. ✨ A well-designed client generation system saves time, reduces stress, and increases income while preserving the freedom I want. Mary also shares a free introductory class she offers on building a client generation system—perfect for anyone ready to cut through the noise, stop spinning their wheels, and finally see real results. If you're ready to stop working harder and start working smarter, this episode is packed with actionable strategies to get more clients and grow your business without sacrificing your time or energy.

Come to a Dehoarding Accountability Zoom Session: http://www.overcomecompulsivehoarding.co.uk/ticket Subscribe to the podcast: https://www.overcomecompulsivehoarding.co.uk/subscribe Podcast show notes, links and transcript: http://www.overcomecompulsivehoarding.co.uk/  Many of us hoard because we believe we're making ourselves ready for anything life throws at us, but the reality is that no amount of “just in case” clutter can truly prepare us for every scenario. In this episode, I break down the myth of preparedness, explore how hoarding can actually make us less equipped for real emergencies, and talk about why resourcefulness matters much more than having piles of stuff. The Myth of Being Prepared for Every Eventuality Exploration of the comforting idea behind keeping possessions to be “ready” for anything. Recognition that life is unpredictable and impossible to fully prepare for. Infinite Possibilities vs. Realities Discussion of how each item is kept for imagined infinite scenarios. The logical impossibility of keeping items for every scenario (need for infinite space and money). Emotional and anxiety-driven decision-making despite logical understanding. Specificity of Items and Mismatched Preparation Example of items with specific uses that don't match actual needs when situations arise. The paradox of saving more items not solving the mismatch issue. Emphasis that saving more increases clutter but doesn't increase preparedness. Sensible Preparation vs. Over-Preparation Differentiation between healthy, reasonable preparation (e.g., first aid kit) and hoarding excess. The importance of context when deciding what to keep. The Role of Resourcefulness Real-life anecdotes (tampon as nosebleed fix, ballpoint pen tracheotomy) illustrating resourcefulness over mere possession. Recognition of creativity and adaptability as coping strategies. Importance of improvisation and problem-solving in handling emergencies. Asking for Help and Community Support Discussion of the difficulty and value in seeking help from others. Mention of the podcast's accountability sessions as a supportive community resource. Irony of Over-Preparedness: How Hoarding Reduces Actual Preparedness Analysis of how clutter inhibits effective response to emergencies (e.g., inability to locate items, blocked exits). Emotional and mental burden caused by excessive possessions. Emotional Drivers of Hoarding and Over-Preparedness Exploration of the underlying anxieties and emotional needs that drive hoarding. Misconception that acquiring more will eventually soothe anxiety. Discussion about the lack of true satisfaction or security from excessive possessions. The Illusion of Vindication Occasional moments when a hoarded item becomes useful, creating a sense of justification. Cost-benefit analysis: space, annoyance, energy, and opportunity cost versus occasional convenience. Distinguishing Between Convenience and Necessity Recognition that the vast majority of saved items are never useful. Importance of resourcefulness and adaptability over keeping every possible item. Everyday Adaptation and Coping Examples of daily improvisation and making do (e.g., using coins as screwdrivers, managing without umbrellas). Emphasis on resilience and ability to cope with small inconveniences. The Trap of Occasional Justification Analogy to gambling: occasional “wins” reinforce maladaptive habits. Warning against letting rare vindications justify continued hoarding. Embracing “Good Enough” and Trusting Future Capabilities Acceptance that total preparedness is impossible. Focus on nourishment, present needs, and trusting future resilience and creativity. The freeing power of letting go of the need for complete preparedness. True security and preparedness come from adaptability and trust, not material accumulation.

Ever felt so overwhelmed that when someone asks what's wrong, the only answer that comes out is “everything?"In this episode, Michele introduces a simple but powerful tool inspired by the classic game Mad Libs and adapted from education: a “fill-in-the-blank scaffold” that helps transform vague frustration into clear, actionable steps.When we're vague, we stay stuck.

Daily Boost Podcast Show Notes Why You're Not Motivated - Science Will Surprise You October 1, 2025 | Episode 5193 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description Ever feel like you're spinning your wheels despite reading every motivation book out there? Scott discovered something fascinating in baby DJ school that completely flips traditional goal-setting advice on its head. Turns out, everyone's teaching you to start with your "why" - but that might be exactly backwards. Today's episode reveals the science-backed sequence that actually works. It's simpler than you think, and it explains why you've been fighting yourself all this time. Featured Story Picture this: 18-year-old Scott faces a choice between broadcast school in freezing Minneapolis or sunny Fort Lauderdale. Obviously, he chose Florida. Who wouldn't? But here's the twist - those broadcast school professionals forced him to learn journalism when all he wanted was to spin records. He looked down his nose at journalists, thinking it had nothing to do with being a world-famous DJ. Years later, those five little journalism words became the key to unlocking personal transformation. The irony? He had to completely flip the order everyone teaches. Important Points Most personal development advice starts with "why" - but that's actually backwards for real change. The magic sequence is What, Why, When, Where, Who - not the traditional journalist order. Specificity beats perfection every time; concrete goals create concrete results. Memorable Quotes "Y'all wrong. I got it right." "Don't wait for the perfect plan. Because when you sit around waiting for the perfect plan, things don't always get perfect." "We're just going to assume some days are going to be perfect, and some days are not going to be perfect. So if we average out pretty good days, we get a pretty good life, right?" Scott's Three-Step Approach Define your "what" with brutal specificity - write it down and make it concrete. Create a question roadmap using the five words in proper order for transformation. Take massive, imperfect action - put one concrete step on your calendar this week. Connect With Me Search for The Daily Boost on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
