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

The Freedom of the Un-Goal

The calendar is almost done. And you know what that means. The 'Should' monsters are waking up. They are the goals, the projects, the expectations you carry around that don't actually belong to you. You should launch that huge, complex product. You should be on that social platform where all your competitors are making noise. You should chase that client segment that is exhausting and doesn't pay. These "shoulds" are anchors. They drain your emotional capital, clutter your WRAP Sheet , and steal the energy you need to execute on the real high-leverage assets. Most people treat the New Year like a blank canvas, which they immediately fill with complex, obligation-driven goals. They mistake activity for momentum. Momentum is not the result of doing more. It is the result of eliminating friction. If a goal, a project, or a relationship is causing constant drag—if it costs you three units of energy to gain one unit of result—it is not a goal. It is a tax o...

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 Price of Proximity

 You are, scientifically, the average. The average of the conversations you have, the risk you tolerate, the ambition you witness, and the excuses you hear. We often think environment means our desk, our city, or our office. It doesn't. Environment means the people you let into your space. A donkey and a thoroughbred cannot share a paddock without changing the expectations of the space. The thoroughbred demands speed, training, and peak performance. The donkey demands ease, grazing, and comfort. You can't be both. If you are the fastest, smartest, or most ambitious person in the room, you are in the wrong room. You are not being coached; you are coaching. You are not being challenged; you are being averaged down. The work is not just what you do, but who you do it with. Find the catalytic energy. Find the person, or the small group, whose mere presence makes your goals seem not just possible, but inevitable. They are your pace car. They are the standard. They are the fire you...
