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

Daily Dose: The Emotion of Your Relationships

 The quality of any relationship isn’t measured by time—it’s measured by the emotions experienced. Think about it. A relationship filled with trust, joy, and respect feels completely different from one built on stress, resentment, or obligation. It’s not just about who’s in your life—it’s about how those relationships make you feel. So here’s the real question: What emotions are you creating in your relationships? Are you bringing energy, gratitude, and connection? Or are you stuck in cycles of frustration and indifference? Great relationships don’t happen by accident. They’re built, moment by moment, through the emotions we choose to invest in them. Today, be intentional about the energy you bring. Your relationships will reflect it back to you.

Daily Dose - Accountability: Reclaim Your Power Source

 "Accountability is something you do FOR yourself, not TO yourself. It's the key to taking back your power." We often perceive accountability as a restrictive force, a set of rules imposed upon us. But in reality, it's the very tool that unlocks our potential. When you hold yourself accountable, you: Reclaim control: You stop being a victim of circumstance and become the architect of your destiny. Build self-trust: Consistently honoring your commitments strengthens your belief in your own capabilities. Accelerate progress: Clear goals and consistent action propel you towards your desired outcomes. Accountability isn't about punishment; it's about empowerment. It's about taking ownership and stepping into your full potential.

Stop Winging It! How to Build a Business That Scales (and Why Your Gut is Still a Terrible Business Plan)

Sheila Bell. Damn Yankee, serial entrepreneur, and owner of a gym that went from 81 members to 455. In six years. Part-time. Oh, and she's a top-producing real estate agent too. We love stories like this, don't we? We see the results, the growth, the sheer force of will, and we think, "Wow, she's got it all figured out." But here’s the thing: Sheila didn't have it all figured out. She was winging it. Riding on gut feeling, sheer determination, and a healthy dose of "I'll figure it out." Sound familiar? We all do it. We think our passion, our work ethic, our "intuition" will be enough. We ignore the fundamentals, the boring stuff, the systems that actually scale. Sheila, despite her incredible success, was running her businesses like a collection of hobbies. Reacting instead of planning. Juggling instead of delegating. She was trapped in the "lone wolf" myth, the idea that she had to do it all herself. Why do we cling to this m...
