This Works, That Doesn't, Do This

The holidays slow everything down, don't they? But next year's coming fast. I'm sharing the simple rule I use every single day with my clients. It's the one that cuts through the chaos and gets you focused on what actually moves your life forward. You've got goals and dreams. The world's going to try sucking the motivation right out of you. Time to figure out what works for you, what doesn't, and just do that. Simple as that. Featured Story My daughter called me out last night. Said my voice sounded raspy from too many holiday parties. Then she offered to teach me to sing. Me. The guy who won't even touch karaoke. Next thing I know, she's buying me a vocal training program and planning to come over. I've always had this weird goal to learn, but I've never been willing. Now I'm probably doing it because sometimes the craziest goals are the ones worth going after. This whole thing sparked a question on my coaching call today that blew everyone's mind. Nobody had an answer. That question tomorrow might do the same for you. Important Points Motivation feels like injecting dopamine, but it doesn't last when chaos rules your life. Transformation only comes after stability—your nervous system can't handle change when you're scattered. Your regrets reveal your real values—track what you wish you hadn't done to find what matters most. Memorable Quotes "You can't have transformation without stability." "This works, that doesn't, do this." "What you really want to do in your life usually shows up in your regrets, in the things you wish you hadn't done." Scott's Three-Step Approach Notice what actually works for you and take responsibility for doing more of it. Write down your biggest distractions and build discipline to eliminate them completely. Use your regrets as a map—inverse them to discover your real values and priorities.
