Episode Description

Right now, someone across town is thinking about you.

You're on their to-do list. It could be your boss. Maybe your spouse. A client with an emergency that becomes your priority.

They're going to walk through the door, send a text, make a call. And suddenly you're doing something you never planned on doing.

Scott reveals the daily battle everyone faces—and why most people spend their entire morning before lunch working on somebody else's dreams. Your vision stays on the back burner. Your internal mission gets delayed till tomorrow. Your agenda? Completely hijacked.

The solution isn't ignoring everyone. It's defining three non-negotiable things before anyone gets access to your time.

Featured Story

A client asked Scott what she should pay attention to most with all the craziness and everyone needing something from her.

Scott told her the truth.

He pays attention to his agenda first. When he crosses paths with other people's agendas, it doesn't have to be his way or the highway. But he must continue living his life to get the results he wants—without delay or distraction.

She asked if that meant ignoring everybody else.

No. Just acknowledging that every person is on their own path. And since everyone's on their path, you'll always have the opportunity—willingly or unwillingly—to be pulled into their agenda.

If you let that happen, you detour from your dreams.

She got it pretty fast. "You're saying I need to take control of my agenda."

Exactly. Because if you don't take care of your agenda, somebody else will control it for you.

Important Points

Every person you meet is on their own path and will try to pull you into their agenda, whether they mean to or not.

Most people, before lunch, have spent their entire morning working on somebody else's dreams.

Taking control of your agenda isn't selfish—it's being your own person and protecting your vision.

Memorable Quotes

"If you don't take care of your life, your agenda, somebody else will control it for you."

"The world is going to do what the world is going to do. It always has, it always will."

"You're the only person living between your ears. Every single thing in this world is just about you. Get right with yourself and go out and change the world."

Scott's Three-Step Approach

Before anyone gets access to your time today, define your agenda for the day and this week.

Write down three non-negotiable things that must happen today—not 30, just three.

Remember, everything else is negotiable, but those three things get done no matter what happens.
