Why Just Showing Up Isn't Enough


Listen Later

In this energetic episode, Scott Smith challenges the common belief that "showing up is half the battle." Drawing from personal experiences, including a profound pre-wedding conversation with a pastor, Scott reveals why 50% effort isn't enough for true success. He explains why full commitment—giving 100% consistently—is essential for achieving your goals, whether in relationships, career, or personal growth.


Through engaging storytelling and practical wisdom, Scott shares why stepping out of your comfort zone and fully committing to your goals, despite the fear and doubt, is crucial for creating the life you want. His authentic approach and real-world examples make this episode a must-listen for anyone ready to move beyond halfway measures and embrace total commitment.


Featured Story:

Scott shares a pivotal moment before his first wedding when a pastor challenged his "50-50" view of commitment. This enlightening conversation revealed that success in marriage—and in life—requires a 100-100 approach, where both parties give their all, even when the other person can only give 80%. This lesson transformed Scott's understanding of true commitment.


Key Takeaways:

  • True commitment requires 100% effort, not just showing up or giving 50%
  • Fear and doubt are natural parts of commitment, but they shouldn't stop you
  • You must get "out of the vacuum" of your head and into the real world
  • Being in the game is different from watching from the sidelines
  • Real success comes from consistent, full commitment, not partial effort
  • When someone gives 80%, you need to give 120% to maintain 100% commitment

  • Memorable Quotes:

    "If you can make 100% commitment to something, life is good. Anything less than that is not so good."

    "I want you to figure out what you want. I want you to go get it. I want you to do what makes your heart sing."

    "Without doubt, you can't have hope. And without fear, you can't have hope."


    Scott's Three-Step Approach:

    1. Acknowledge and accept that commitment will be scary—it's a natural part of growth
    2. Move beyond just showing up by giving 100% effort in everything you pursue
    3. Get out of your head and into the game by taking real-world action
    4.
