Meeting Louis Gates and Practical Woo-Woo

Episode Description

Ever feel like you're stuck on repeat?

I'm celebrating my birthday today and starting a new nine-year life cycle. Yeah, you read that right. About 25 years ago, a spiritual pastor taught me something that changed how I see patterns in my life. It's a nine-year cycle that repeats over and over. Once I learned it, I started seeing it everywhere.

Not just in my life, but in every coaching client I've shared it with.

Each year has its own energy and purpose. And knowing where you are in the cycle? That changes everything about how you approach your next move.

Featured Story

It's my birthday today and I'm in year three of my cycle.

That means the resources I need are arriving. I've spent the last two years looking around, deciding I wanted to do things differently with the show. New theme music, new direction, all of it.

And now? Everything I need is showing up.

I'm excited. I want to go. But I've learned to trust the pattern because I've seen it work at least two and a half times in my life. This isn't woo-woo wishful thinking. It's practical wisdom wrapped in a spiritual truth. The kind that makes successful people like you take notice and say, "Wait, that actually makes sense."

Important Points

Life operates in repeatable nine-year cycles that start with seeking and end with clearing space for what's next.

Each year serves a specific purpose from decision-making to intense focus to letting go of what no longer serves you.

Understanding where you are in your cycle removes confusion and gives you permission to change everything when the time is right.

Memorable Quotes

"Stand your butt up. Just stand up and then take a step in the direction you want to go and just keep going until you get it."

"I'm not the most woo-woo guy on the planet, but I got some woo-woo in me. I'm a very practical guy."

"If you're asking for new and you haven't cleaned up your mess first, you're just going to get more mess."

Scott's Three-Step Approach

Identify where you are in your nine-year cycle by looking at what's naturally happening in your life right now.

Stop fighting the patterns and work with them instead of wondering why things feel off or perfectly aligned.

Use each year's energy intentionally whether you're deciding, building, intensifying, or clearing space for what's next.
