Warning: This post contains explicit language. Good evening, Mavericks and Momentum Makers. You’re here because you’re not satisfied with average, and neither am I. This is Spencer Uncensored, Episode 85. If you're just joining us, buckle up. We’ve had 84 conversations before this about how to build momentum, boost mastery, and tap into the deeper levels of productivity, profitability, and purpose that most people only dream about. ​ Let’s get one thing straight: Businesses don’t grow—people do. The money, the success, the accolades—they all come on the backside of personal development. Why? Because over the last 20 years of working with business leaders, I’ve seen it over and over again: You don’t level up your business without leveling up yourself. If you’re new around here, welcome. And if you’ve been with me for a while, thanks for coming back. Let’s dive in. We recently wrapped up the Unshakeable Weekend Event—a three-day immersion where people changed their trajectories or cr...

We've all been there. We set a goal, full of good intentions, only to find ourselves stuck in the same spot, wondering why things didn’t pan out. Why is it that despite our best efforts, goals often feel like elusive mirages? The problem isn't the ambition—it's the approach. In the business world, especially, we hear a lot about goals. Everyone's talking about how to set them, how to chase them, and how to achieve them. But here's the kicker: most of the time, people are getting it wrong. They're either setting goals that aren't truly aligned with what they want or failing to consider the full impact of these goals on their lives. ​ Let's break this down with a bit of practical wisdom. What Do You  Really  Want? This might sound basic, but the first question to ask yourself when setting a goal is, “What specifically do I want?” It’s amazing how often people get this wrong. Instead of defining their goals in clear, positive terms, they focus on what they ...

We live in a world where everyone’s searching for the next big thing. The latest hack, the secret sauce, the shiny object that promises to transform our lives overnight. But here’s the truth: There’s nothing new under the sun. It’s easy to get caught up in the noise, to think that the answer lies in the next book, podcast, or seminar. But the real power? It lies in something much simpler, something we’ve had within us all along. Your decisions determine your destiny. ​ Let’s unpack that. 1.  What You Focus On Every day, life throws countless stimuli at us. Challenges, opportunities, distractions. And yet, amidst all this, we have the power to choose our focus. Imagine standing at the edge of a field, surrounded by chaos, noise, and uncertainty. What you choose to focus on in that moment determines whether you see the path forward or get lost in the noise. Tony Robbins says it well: Where focus goes, energy flows. When you focus on what you want, on your goals and aspirations, you c...
