Embracing the Unshakeable Spirit: My Journey to Purpose Over Profits

From Spencer Combs, Guest on the Purpose Over Profits PodcastGreetings, everyone!

​I'm Spencer Combs, and I recently had the privilege of being a guest on the Purpose Over Profits Podcast, hosted by Jeremy Powers and Jim Floyd. It was an incredible experience to share my journey, which I hope will inspire and resonate with many of you.
Finding My Dream in Florida

My story begins in Northern Florida, a place Amy and I dreamed of calling home. The journey to get here wasn't just about relocating; it was about transforming my life and business to align with my deepest aspirations. It was about setting an anchor goal with my wife, a practice we've maintained since 2014, to achieve what seemed distant and challenging.

Overcoming Adversity with Determination

Throughout my career, I've encountered numerous challenges, from financial hardships to making drastic career changes. These obstacles tested my resolve, but they also strengthened my conviction. I learned that to make significant changes, one must be willing to take risks and step out of comfort zones. It's about embracing the mentality that if a goal doesn't deeply motivate you, it's unlikely to propel you forward.

The Birth of the Unshakeable Agent

My experiences led me to create the "Unshakeable Agent." This platform is not just a business endeavor; it's a reflection of my life's work. It's about helping others find their footing in a tumultuous world, ensuring that their mindset and mechanics work in harmony. It's about teaching others to be resilient, to be unshakeable in their pursuit of goals.

The Power of Goal Setting and Resilience

One of the most significant aspects of my journey has been the annual goal setting ritual with my wife. This practice has been our compass, guiding us through life's unpredictability. It's about setting substantial, long-term goals and relentlessly working towards them.

Looking Ahead: Unshakeable Drive

As I shared my story on the podcast, I realized how far I've come and how my experiences could impact others. My upcoming book, "Unshakeable Drive," is a culmination of these experiences. It's designed to inspire, to guide, and to empower.

Reflections and Gratitude

Being a part of the Purpose Over Profits Podcast was a humbling experience. It allowed me to reflect on my journey and share the essence of what it means to pursue goals with an unshakeable spirit. My story is a testament to the fact that true success lies in the alignment of mindset, mechanics and movement.


To everyone who listened to the podcast, and to those reading this now, my journey is a reminder that resilience, determination, and clarity of purpose can turn dreams into reality. Remember, the pursuit of goals is not just about profits; it's about living a life filled with purpose and unwavering resolve. Keep striving, keep dreaming, and most importantly, stay unshakeable.

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...

Beyond the Talk: How Your Business Results Expose Your True Standards

As we get into the rhythm of the week, let's focus on a truth that often gets overshadowed by what we say: Results reveal more about your standards than your rhetoric. It's easy to talk a big game. To articulate grand visions, promise exceptional quality, and declare unwavering commitment. Rhetoric – the art of persuasive speaking or writing – can be powerful in setting intentions and inspiring others. But ultimately, it's the tangible outcomes, the actual results your business produces, that truly expose the standards you operate by. Think about it: If you claim to prioritize customer satisfaction, what do your customer retention rates and feedback scores reveal? If you talk about quality products or services, what do your defect rates and customer complaints indicate? If you preach efficiency and innovation, what do your profit margins and the speed of your adaptation show? Your results are the unvarnished truth. They cut through the aspirational language and reveal t...

The Unfinished Game: Why Today's Score Isn't the Final Tally

Spencer here again with another daily dose, from Virginia Beach, VA. The day's wins might feel good. The sting of a setback might linger. But here's a quiet truth worth holding onto: Just because you are winning doesn't necessarily mean you have won. And just because you might be losing, doesn't mean you have completely lost. Today's tally is just that: today's. The game isn't over. The story continues. We get seduced by the immediate feedback loop. A big sale? We're on top. A lost client? We're doomed. But these are often just blips on a longer radar. Winning today can breed complacency. A belief that the momentum is automatic, that the hard work is done. But the market shifts. Competitors adapt. Complacency is the slow leak that sinks even the most buoyant ship. And losing today? It can feel like the end. The final curtain. But often, it's just a data point. A course correction. A chance to learn, to pivot, to come back stronger. The greatest c...
