Daily Boost Podcast Show Notes Why Your Actions Are the Real Clarity Test  July 9, 2025 | Episode 5133 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description Tired of overthinking your next move? Scott reveals why your actions, not your thoughts, are the true test of clarity. Through a real coaching conversation with longtime client Paula, you'll discover how to break free from the "yes trap" and create space for what actually matters to you. Whether you're stuck in business decisions or personal crossroads, this episode cuts through the confusion with practical steps that work. Stop chat-GPT'ing your life and start taking action that reveals what you really want. Featured Story Paula, a retired kayaking instructor and 20-year coaching client, faced a common dilemma: loving what she does but wanting to transition from teaching to mentoring. The organization kept asking her to teach, and she couldn't say no, even though she craved more personal time on the water. Scott walked her through a four-step process to redefine her role, identify her ideal students, and finally set boundaries that honor both her wisdom and her desires. Important Points Actions reveal clarity better than endless planning or thinking – if you want to know what you truly want, start doing something and let the path unfold. Define exactly who you want to help and what they really need, not what you think they should learn – Paula's students wanted confidence, safety, and fun, not just kayaking techniques. Set new rules and communicate them clearly to everyone involved – people expect and respect when you honor your life stage and priorities. Memorable Quotes "Your actions reveal clarity. If you're sitting around thinking it through, that's not action." "As soon as you know who you're going to help, you get that instant motivation and clarity." "You're retired, you're older, they all know that. You're not surprising anybody to tell them you want to slow down and enjoy your life." Scott's Three-Step Approach Put your priorities on your calendar first, then remove what doesn't serve your goals – create space for what matters most before adding new commitments. Identify your ideal person to help and discover what they truly want, then promise to deliver exactly that – focus your energy on people who light you up. Decide your new role in current situations and communicate the new rules clearly – let everyone know what you will and won't do moving forward.
