My Bad. My Offer.

My assumptions may have damaged our connection.  It reminds me of a moment I experienced a few years ago.  At the time, I had over 100 coaching clients in a small ecosystem.  My ego was bruised within seconds.  
As I walked into a training room with every bit of confidence I had, I began sharing helpful info from the back of the room.  The Trainer at the front of the room was gracious enough to let me interrupt.  Then, everything stopped when one student spoke up.  She simply asked, "and who are you?"  I stood there and felt embarrassed.  I came in guns blazing without making a simple introduction.  The lesson was quick and slightly painful.  

That was my bad.  Here's the lesson.  No one is interested in all of the value we can bring until they connect with you.  I've even preached it for years, you have to connect before you can convert.  This is one time I failed at my own principle.  

Here is my offer.  Rather than shoot you a ton of value like I share with current business owners across 13 states, let's have a quick conversation so I can properly introduce myself and get to know you and your business.  It's a ridiculous notion for me to just assume you would be interested in what we do.  And since you are a Momentum Insider, you're clearly interested in boosting your momentum and building mastery.  Let's do that at no cost. 

Why would it be free?  Simple.  1, you appreciate having the competitive edge.  2, you and I get to find out if we even want to work with each other.  3, we both have a better relationship regardless of whether you take me up on any next steps.  Not everyone is a good candidate or even ready.  We can find that out just by taking this first step.  

Here's how.  Hop on my calendar and pick and day and time.  From there, we'll handle the rest.  

Keep well and keep moving forward, 
 
Spencer

50 Cent, Government Cheese, and the Science of the Qualified Champion

The "Gangster" Paradox: Why Autonomy is the Ultimate Un-Goal The word "gangster" carries a lot of baggage. For most, it conjures images of the street, the hustle, or the headlines. But in his recent Esquire sit-down, 50 Cent stripped away the theater and gave us a definition that belongs on every entrepreneur’s whiteboard: "To me, gangster means to live the way you like without answering to anyone." Read that again. He’s not talking about crime; he’s talking about agency . He’s talking about the " Un-Goal ." The "Should" Monster vs. The Un-Goal In my work with the WRAP Sheet and Momentum & Mastery , we talk constantly about the " Should Monsters ." These are the invisible anchors—the projects you took on because a competitor did, the clients you tolerate because you’re afraid of the gap in your calendar, and the "hustle" habits that steal your emotional capital. Most people spend their entire careers building ...

The Gravity of a Small Dream

Most people think they have a motivation problem. They don’t. They have a vision problem. In my book Momentum & Mastery , I talk about the Drift to Drive framework. The first stage—and the one where most people get stuck—is the Dream . But here’s the catch: Most 'dreams' aren't dreams at all. They are just logical extensions of where you already are. They are safe. They are manageable. And because they are safe, they have zero gravitational pull. A small vision is a recipe for drift. When your goal is just '10% more than last year,' your brain doesn't need to innovate. It doesn't need to find leverage. It just needs to grind harder. That’s how you end up exhausted and stagnant. To move into Drive , you need a vision that pulls you forward, a compelling future. You need to expand the walls of what you think is possible. How to Expand Your Vision: The 10X Filter : Ask yourself, "What would I have to change if I had to grow by 1000% instead of 10%?...

An Uncomfortable Truth About Your Growth

There’s a silent, invisible force working against you every time you try to level up . It’s not your competitors. It’s not the economy. It’s not even your own self-doubt (though that’s a loud one). It’s the relentless, biological, psychological drive for homeostasis . Your brain, your body, your habits, your team, even your spouse and friends—they all crave stability. Predictability. The known. So, when you declare that 2026 will not be a repeat of 2025… When you launch that new product that changes everything… When you commit to that daily habit that elevates your game… When you decide to exit a draining client relationship … The system pushes back . This pushback, this opposition , isn't a glitch. It's the feature. Most people interpret friction as a stop sign. They hit resistance and think, "Oh, I must be doing something wrong." They retreat. They adjust. They shrink back to the comfortable. And that, right there, is how they guarantee another year of the same . B...
