Design Your Perfect Day
September 9, 2026 | Episode 5538
Host: Scott Smith
Episode Description
I haven't taught this one in many moons, but it's been central to my coaching for close to seventeen years. It's called your average perfect day, and the first time clients do it, it freaks them out.
Then everything changes. Not because it's magic. Because writing down how you actually want to live wakes your brain up to what you want.
I'm going to dare you to try it. Most of you won't, and that's fine. But the ones who do end up looking around five years later at a life that matches the page.
Featured Story
My wife and I don't need a car. The one we have is fine. But I've been working on her about a Tesla, and now she wants one, and we're sitting right there on the edge of pulling the trigger. Then I noticed something. Everywhere I go now, all I see are Teslas. Parking lots, the highway, the grocery store. They were always there. My brain didn't bother telling me about them until the thing mattered to me. That's the reticular activation system doing its job, and it's the same machinery that goes to work the minute you write down the day you actually want.
Important Points
* Write your average perfect day from wake-up to dreams, and don't allow one limitation or consequence on the page.
