Mid-Year Review: Time to Assess, Adjust, and Accelerate

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to another episode of Spencer Uncensored. This is episode 76, and I'm thrilled to have you here, whether you're joining us live in the Unshakeable Secrets group for business leaders or catching this later on our YouTube Channel. Your presence means a lot, and I appreciate you being here.

Tonight, I've got a few updates to share before we dive into some crucial conversations that might be exactly what you need to hear right now.
Major Updates and AnnouncementsFirst, let's talk about the big projects I'm working on:

  1. Momentum and Mastery Book: The book is coming together beautifully. We have 53 people currently reviewing it, and the feedback has been incredibly valuable. Special thanks to my Coach, Micheal Burt, for writing the forward. If you don't know him, look him up—he's spoken at 10X and worked with top names like Rory Vaden, Grant Cardone, and Renee Rodriguez. We're aiming for an official digital release by the end of July, and a big launch at the Unshakeable Weekend Event on August 23rd.
  2. Unshakeable Weekend Event: Speaking of the event, it's set for August 23-25 in the Midlands of South Carolina. We’ve secured a great venue and room blocks to keep costs down. This event will be the first of many across the country, coinciding with the book launch.
  3. Web Class and 30-Day Momentum Launch Program: We’re also developing a web class that leads into a 30-day Momentum Launch Program. This program is a primer for the Unshakeable Weekend Event and focuses on the Drift to Drive framework, ensuring you’re ready to make significant progress.

The Power of Conscious Living Now, let’s get into the heart of tonight’s discussion. We often live on autopilot, with both positive and negative behaviors taking over unconsciously. For example, I've been consistently getting up early and walking for almost 90 days. It's become such a habit that my body automatically wants to do it, even if I miss a day.

This automatic behavior shows how we can program ourselves positively. However, many of us lean naturally towards either a momentum framework (always in action but often burned out) or a mastery framework (focused on getting things right but sometimes stuck in our heads).

Identifying Your Framework
  • Momentum-Minded: If you’re always taking action but feel frustrated or burned out, you might need more mastery. This means incorporating a mindset and mechanics framework into your routine.
  • Mastery-Minded: If you’re focused on getting everything right but struggle to take action, you need more momentum. This involves diving into what moves you and taking decisive actions.

Mid-Year Review: Facts and Feelings. As we near the end of June, it's a perfect time for a mid-year review. Look at your past results objectively—they are just facts. Focus on your future with emotion and clarity. What do you want to achieve by the end of the year? Clarify your commitments, determine your priorities, and ensure you have a clear purpose.

Final Thoughts. Business owners can't afford to shoot in the dark. By understanding whether you need more momentum or mastery, you can take targeted actions to improve your business and life. Take this weekend to review your progress and plan your path forward.

​Thank you for joining me on this journey. Keep well, keep moving forward, and remember, when you're in your head, you're dead. Let's get into our hearts and make things happen.

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 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...

The Gravity of a Small Dream

Most people think they have a motivation problem. They don’t. They have a vision problem. In my book Momentum & Mastery , I talk about the Drift to Drive framework. The first stage—and the one where most people get stuck—is the Dream . But here’s the catch: Most 'dreams' aren't dreams at all. They are just logical extensions of where you already are. They are safe. They are manageable. And because they are safe, they have zero gravitational pull. A small vision is a recipe for drift. When your goal is just '10% more than last year,' your brain doesn't need to innovate. It doesn't need to find leverage. It just needs to grind harder. That’s how you end up exhausted and stagnant. To move into Drive , you need a vision that pulls you forward, a compelling future. You need to expand the walls of what you think is possible.
