Motivation Myth: What Really Drives Success
September 1, 2025 | Episode - 5171
Host: Scott Smith
Episode Description
It's Labor Day, and Scott's firing up about motivation – the real kind, not the unicorn-and-rainbows version.
He's cutting through the fluff to give you three rock-solid ways to stay motivated when life throws you curveballs. From why your body holds the key to your mindset, to how your self-talk is either building you up or tearing you down, this episode delivers the straight truth about getting what you want.
Ready to stop making excuses and start making moves?
Featured Story
Scott shares his honest take on motivation in 2025, especially for remote workers wondering if they're really working.
He dives into the psychology behind what really drives us – spoiler alert: it's not what most people think. Through his signature blend of humor and hard truth, Scott reveals why inspiration almost always leads to automatic motivation and how most people stumble onto their purpose instead of finding it through some grand plan.
It's the kick in the pants you didn't know you needed.
Important Points
Your physiology dictates your feelings more than your psychology – when you move your body, you wake up your emotions and make anything possible.
If you're feeling unmotivated, you're not unfocused – you're focused on the wrong thing, and you need to swing that focus around to something that excites you.
The words you say to yourself create the emotions you have, and negative self-talk will drag you down faster than anything else in your life.
Memorable Quotes
"The easiest way for you to break free from a slump or to get what you want is to take a step. Stand up, take a step and repeat."
"If you are feeling unmotivated, you are unfocused. You're not unfocused – you're focused on something else."
"You want to stay motivated, get excited, period. Boom. Get a big goal. Go after it."
Scott's Three-Step Approach
Move your body intentionally – lift weights, get out of breath, or at minimum start overwalking to let your default brain kick in with great ideas.
Redirect your focus from what's not working to something that genuinely excites you, because focus fuels your motivational fire.
Monitor your self-talk ruthlessly and eliminate negative words that talk you out of what you want to accomplish.
