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,

The Risk-Reward Reality: Why Playing Small Limits Your Business's Potential

 Good morning! As we crank up into a fresh week, let's tackle a basic truth about growth and achievement in business: low risk means low reward. It's tempting to play it safe, to stick to what's comfortable and familiar. The allure of minimizing potential downsides is strong. But the reality is, significant breakthroughs and substantial rewards rarely come without stepping outside your comfort zone and embracing a degree of risk. Think about the biggest leaps forward in business history. They weren't achieved by treading the well-worn path. They came from entrepreneurs and companies willing to challenge the status quo, invest in innovative ideas, and navigate uncertain territory. That "low risk" approach might manifest in your business as:  * Avoiding new marketing channels: Sticking only to what you know, even if it's plateauing.  * Hesitating to invest in growth: Being reluctant to spend on scaling, new hires, or product development.  * Staying within yo...

Beyond Right and Wrong: The Power of Asking This Instead

Good morning from Raleigh! Happy Thursday, let's talk about a subtle shift in perspective that can have a big impact on our decision-making and interactions: Rather than thinking right or wrong, choose to look at effective and ineffective. We're often conditioned to frame things in binary terms: this is the right way, that's the wrong way. This can lead to rigid thinking, unnecessary conflict, and a resistance to exploring alternative approaches. But the world, especially the world of business, is rarely black and white. What truly matters isn't whether something aligns with a preconceived notion of "rightness," but whether it actually works . Is it achieving the desired outcome? Is it moving you closer to your goals? Is it fostering positive results? Think about it: Marketing strategies: Instead of arguing about which approach is inherently "right," focus on which one is generating the most leads and conversions. Team dynamics: Instead of labeli...

Daily Dose - Regain Control, One Small Step at a Time

Today's dose is a practical question for immediate impact: "What small, consistent actions could you implement to create a sense of greater control in your day?" Feeling overwhelmed or like your days are running you? You're not alone. The solution isn't some grand overhaul, but rather a series of small, consistent actions that gradually shift the balance of power. Consider: Morning Ritual: Starting your day with a focused routine (meditation, journaling, planning) can set the tone for control. Time Blocking: Scheduling specific tasks in your calendar prevents reactive chaos. Daily Prioritization: Identifying your top 3 most important tasks ensures you're focusing on what truly matters. Mindful Breaks: Taking short, intentional breaks throughout the day helps maintain focus and prevent burnout. These small actions, when implemented consistently, compound into a powerful sense of control and clarity. To your Momentum & Mastery, Spencer Photo by Alex...
