Supercharge Your Year With Retrospection and Prospection

July 4, 2025 | Episode 5130

Host: Scott Smith

Episode Description

It's Independence Day and we're halfway through 2025! Time to get real about where you've been and where you're headed. I'm sharing two uniquely human abilities that my high-performing clients swear by every single day. Forget traditional goal-setting and reflection – this is about feeling your way through the first six months and creating magic in the next six. These aren't just fancy words; they're your secret weapons for staying on track and becoming the person you're meant to be.

Featured Story

Fresh off a coaching call, Scott shares a powerful conversation with a client who thought his year was "a kick in the knackers" – until Scott reminded him about his new big client, beautiful motorcycle, loving wife, and great kids. It's a perfect example of how we forget our wins and focus on what's wrong. This story illustrates why retrospection isn't just looking back; it's about feeling the truth of your journey and recognizing what you've actually created in your life.

Important Points

Retrospection and prospection are uniquely human abilities that your pets can't do – only you can look back with feeling and create forward with intention.

Most people blow through these exercises superficially the first time, so expect to dig deeper on your third or fourth attempt before it clicks.

Clarity is the number one thing in personal transformation, followed immediately by getting rid of the clutter that's holding you back.

Memorable Quotes

"You as a human have the very unique ability to go come up with an idea and go create it."

"Do not get down on yourself if you haven't figured it out yet – I've seen very smart people take months to get it dialed in."

"You can prospectively decide what you want to create today and then just go make it happen."

Scott's Three-Step Approach

Look back retrospectively at your first six months of 2025 and feel how it went – not just think about it, but actually feel whether it matched your expectations.

Move into prospection by deciding what you'll create in the second half of the year from a life experience perspective, not just goals.

Practice this daily in 60 seconds, or spend five minutes doing it for the whole year, and watch your life transform.
