Focusing on short-term career and personal goals can often lead to an underappreciation of the long-run. Scott envisions what can be accomplished over his longest potential lifespan, which he believes, \\u201cGives me the opportunity and space to think about how I am going to accomplish that because it\\u2019s a long game.\\u201d

Scott encourages everyone to compound their accomplishments over the long-term by completing at least one important task every day. Scott stresses, \\u201cIf I just accomplish one thing per day but I\\u2019m doing that over a span of 30 years and that one thing I know is the most important task, what impact is that going to have on me and other people\\u2019s lives over a 30 year span? It\\u2019s huge.\\u201d One of Scott\\u2019s tips for short term planning is to remember that, \\u201cWhat is on your calendar is what your priorities are regardless of what you tell yourself.\\u201d

\\xa0

While putting away money for retirement is always an important consideration, Scott believes aspiring entrepreneurs should leave enough to allocate to their current pursuits. \\u201cOne of your best investments if this person has their own business is in themselves and in their business.\\u201d
