One Question That Protects Everything

Episode Description
On Monday, you wrote your internal mission. Tuesday, you discovered 80% of your daily actions are completely
Irrelevant to your vision.
Today, Scott gives you the one question that filters everything.
No complicated system. No elaborate planning. No superhuman willpower. One question asked every single day that protects your vision from the thousands of opportunities trying to derail you.
A client used this filter for just one week and avoided seven or eight things that would have derailed her for a month. The question forces you to be honest about whose agenda you're serving—yours or everyone else's.
Fair warning: This might make you ruthless. That's the point.
Featured Story
She had a clear vision. She'd written out her internal and external missions just like Scott asked.
But life kept getting in the way. Her phone wouldn't stop ringing. Opportunities showed up constantly. People needed things all the time.
She was working incredibly hard but felt like she was moving backward.
When Scott asked what she did when opportunities arrived, she admitted the truth: "I listen. I think about it. I consider if I have time. And then I usually say yes because I don't want to disappoint anyone. I figure it out
later."
She was making dozens of decisions every day without a filter. No wonder she was exhausted.
Scott taught her one question. She didn't believe it could be that simple. But after one week, she'd avoided seven or eight derailments that would have cost her a month of progress.
The question changed everything.
Important Points
Every single day, thousands of opportunities will cross your path trying to detour you from what you want.
Most opportunities that show up in life are other people's dreams disguised as your opportunities.
There is no neutral—you are either moving closer to what you want or moving away from it.
Memorable Quotes
"Will this opportunity move me closer to the lifestyle I desire, or further away?"
"Most emails are usually somebody else's to-do list being sent to you."
"Every yes to something that doesn't deserve your attention is a no to something that does."
Scott's Three-Step Approach
Before you say yes to anything, ask yourself if this opportunity moves you closer to your desired lifestyle or further away.
Remember, there is no neutral—time, energy, and attention are finite resources.
Be ruthless with your filter but not mean—protect your vision without explaining or justifying yourself to anyone.
