You're not broken, you just need a better strategy

When I began coaching as a service, there was an interesting pattern that started to show up.  Some agents were really good at producing and just needed an adjustment in their mindset to move forward. Other agents approached the business with all the positivity of Stuart Smalley (if you weren't old enough to watch SNL in the 90"s, then you'll have to google him).  These agents had the mindset, just lacked the mechanics.  Basically, all will - no skill.  And before you tell me that will beats skill, I agree.  However I've yet to meet someone have a bag of money fall on their head because they willed it to themselves.  Moving forward requires mechanics along with that mindset.  Most agents were hungry for more, but they really struggled to create the alignment needed to move forward with power.  There was no system to diagnose and fix the issue.  ​
After well over 10,000 hours of one on one time,  we began to see this relationship. I remember breaking out a flip chart and started to lay it all out on paper.  I first noted that if ultra productive agents were aligned in their mindset, mechanics, and movement, then what did that look like?  This is where the Qualified Champion (later called the MF Code) was born.  

I took that model to a small group of business owners in 2019 in a 7 week process and we were amazed at the trajectory changes for those in attendance.  Some went on to open Insurance agencies, others built out massive coaching programs for their mortgage team, and everyone saw a spike in their overall production. 

As the follow up conversations and results started to roll in, it was obvious this is something business owners crave.  The framework we were providing gave context to otherwise frustrated or burned out performers.  You can look across the coaching space and find plenty of mindset programs as well as How To programs.  Rarely, if ever, do those programs show how to marry them together.  The Unshakeable Agent (new name for the process) gives all of that and more.  It's a step by step guide for unlocking and creating an unshakeable business. 

What an amazing story...

I’d love to hear from you about this. Would you say you lean more on your mindset or more on your mechanics?  Is your business more frustrating or is it burning you out?  Let's hear it.  Hit the comments below and let me know.  

I've got something cool to share with you tomorrow,

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...
