Embracing Change: The Unshakable Journey to Decision-Making and Growth

Ah, going live. All right. Welcome back to another episode of my journey, folks. This time, it's something a bit different – a reflection that turned into a realization, sparked by the latest episode of "Spencer Uncensored," episode 64. Yeah. Woo. How's everyone feeling?

I had this thought about doing this outside, going on a walk so we could have a different scenery. But, let's dive into something that recently unfolded in my life. I was just on a call with a delightful couple down in the Miami area, considering some coaching on building a business. It's humbling, you know? You've got to admire people who stand up and say, "Hey, I need help." That's exactly where I found myself not too long ago.

For 20, 25 years, it's been the same routine, the same process. And here I am, wanting to shake things up. The courage it takes to reach out, to initiate a conversation by email, has been a step outside my comfort zone. I'm thrilled to see the campaigns I've been working on beginning to stir responses. It's fascinating, the myriad discussions on why people struggle to progress with their businesses. That's where coaching shines.


What's amusing is how these coaching evaluations start. We dive into what they think is holding them back, discussing the mechanical aspects of campaigns, communication, and conversion rates. Yet, almost invariably, I manage to shift the entire conversation. When discussing aspirations like moving from making $120,000 a year to $300,000, it's not just about the numbers. It's about understanding the 'why.' Why bother with the increase? It seems everyone has their rationale, but few have truly broken down the lifestyle they aim for with such earnings.


This leads to the powerful unshakable planning challenge, an eye-opener for many, including myself. It's about building a compelling future with an anchor goal and dissecting it, an exercise that has brought me countless "aha" moments. It's intense, packed with insights and challenges over seven days, but incredibly rewarding.

However, the road to decision-making is fraught with obstacles. Fear of making the wrong choice, lack of information, or even the paralyzing pursuit of perfection can stall progress. I've learned it firsthand. Each decision requires action; without it, it's merely a thought. Overcoming these hurdles involves confronting fears, gathering necessary information, and embracing imperfection for growth.


Today, I made a significant decision involving a considerable investment in myself, a leap of faith driven by the desire to improve not only for me but for everyone I work with. This decision-making process taught me invaluable lessons about action, self-confidence, and the importance of decisiveness.


Indecisiveness, I've realized, is often a habit. Breaking free requires small, intentional steps towards making choices, however minor they may seem. External pressures and the quest for perfection can derail us, but at the heart of every decision is the pursuit of a dream, a desire that fuels our drive.

As I reflect on this journey, I'm reminded of the upcoming unshakable challenge on April 11th, a testament to the transformative power of these experiences. It's not just about business or financial growth; it's about personal evolution, about becoming unshakably confident in our decisions and our paths.

For those feeling stuck, uncertain, or simply in search of growth, remember: every decision, every step forward is a move towards the future you envision for yourself. Trust in your ability to navigate the challenges, to solve problems, and to make the choices that align with your dreams and desires.


Tonight, on Spencer Uncensored, we delved into the essence of decision-making and its profound impact on our lives and careers. If you're on the fence about taking that next step, whether in business or personal growth, let this be a nudge towards action. Embrace the journey, the challenges, and the inevitable growth that comes from stepping out of your comfort zone.

As we wrap up this episode, and I share these reflections with you, I'm reminded of the power of community, of sharing our experiences and learning from each other. If you've been part of the unshakable challenge, or if you're embarking on this journey, I'd love to hear your insights and breakthroughs.


Here's to making decisions, to moving forward, and to embracing the changes that come with growth. Let's keep pushing, keep growing, and above all, keep supporting each other on this incredible journey. Until next time, friends, keep well and keep moving forward.

The Firewall

  The world is a machine. A vast, efficient, relentless machine focused on two things: speed and automation. If your job, your skill, or your output can be described by a predictable set of instructions, the machine will eventually learn to do it faster, cheaper, and without complaint. This is not a threat. It is a reality. It is the new baseline. So, where do you stand? Are you building your house on sand, relying on tasks that are easily copied? Or are you building a firewall? The firewall is the part of you the machine cannot touch. It's the unique combination of judgment, empathy, creativity, and the courage to make a non-obvious choice. This week is a choice. You can perform the necessary, replaceable tasks. Or you can invest in your firewall. The question isn’t about job security. It’s about value creation. What is the one thing you can learn, practice, or build this week that will make you so valuable, no one else can do your job five years from now? It's the dif...

The Multiplier

The clock runs. The hour passes. The time is spent. Most of the world gets paid for the passing of that time. It's a comfortable contract. An agreement of safety. Trade one hour of life for an agreed-upon unit of currency. The problem with this contract is that it caps your potential. It rewards presence, not performance. It celebrates effort, not outcome. But the economy of impact is different. No one pays the painter for the hours she spent cleaning the brushes. They pay her for the masterpiece. No one pays the entrepreneur for the hours he spent staring at the ceiling. They pay him for the breakthrough idea. They pay for the result . The moment you accept this truth, your relationship with the clock fundamentally changes. You stop asking, "How long will this take?" You start asking the only question that matters: What can I do with this time that will yield the single greatest result this week? This is the question of leverage. It's the search for the acti...

The Hidden Quarter

The calendar says "Holidays." The world outside begins to slow, to pause, to look inward. Presents, parties, reflection. For many, this period is a collective exhale. A shared agreement to take the foot off the gas. To coast. Your competition is doing it. They're already mentally checked out, planning their breaks, anticipating the collective slowdown. And that, precisely, is the point. Because while they are distracted by eggnog and holiday stress, an invisible, unfair quarter opens up. This isn't Q4. This is the Hidden Quarter . This isn't the time to rest on your laurels. It's the time to build your launchpad. This is the moment to install the system, master the process, or build the lever that your distracted competitors won't even think about until mid-January. What is the one high-leverage system or process you can dedicate yourself to installing and mastering in the next 30 days that will guarantee you start January at an undeniable 5x speed? It...
