This weekâs episode is such a great conversation from beginning to endâyouâve got to listenâbut here we want to pull out just a few of the constructive and inspiring thoughts Scott shared with us on some awesome topics.
Scott on success
âSuccess is finding ways to help others unlock their desires and, on the journey, you find a lot of joy when you figure out how to do it.â
âItâs hard to get what you want when you donât fantasize the want correctly first. I believe that you can get your successes once you can start picturing things that you donât have yet, and if you only had them, how much more fun would life be!â
â[Some people] repeat yesterday too often, and itâs in the repeating of yesterday that leaves us getting yesterdayâs results. And if that means weâre not number one or [in] a place where we want to be, it means weâre not doing it the right way.â
âThereâs a path to success easier to access when we donât do it alone. I believe coaching is valuable.â
Scott on business partnerships
âIf youâre in the industry you love, find other passionate people . . . , and then donât just find them, pick up the phone and say hello.â
âI love to think about others and how we get to play together . . . I think partnerships, relationships, are what make the business we want to have move forward easier. And so I make it a point to make the relationships.â
Scott on rejection
âIf you have an inner thought [that is] pure and . . . authentic to [yourself], and it has something to do with why youâre calling another individual, . . . and if [you] think about whatâs in it for them before [you] think about whatâs in it for [you], and if that whatâs in it for them is really valuable, then guess who just became Santa Claus? And so when you come forward with a Santa Claus mind, how do you reject a gift? Well, you donât! . . . Youâre not going to approach the person with the ability to be rejected. Why? Â âCause your inner thought isnât thinking about what you can get out of the conversation. Itâs about what you can give to the person youâre calling. When you become that person, thereâs less chance of the rejection youâre afraid of getting.â
Scott on the uncomfortable
âIâve discovered that new beginnings happen inside of the uncomfortable itself and that the lack of the uncomfortable probably means youâre not growing as bold as you have the right to.â
Scott on relationships
âFocus on the relationship first, [and] let business be invited after the friendship is developed. If we go for the business first, itâs often guarded and thereâs nothing available.â
Scott on appreciation
âThe power of appreciation allows you to enter life at a different levelâa higher level.â
âThe deeper youâre willing to look at lifeâs moments, the more available you are to appreciate the moments youâre living.â
