Daily Dose: It’s Not Motivation, It’s This...

Ever feel like you’ve lost motivation? Here’s the truth: You didn’t lose motivation—you lost focus.

Motivation isn’t something that just disappears. It’s fueled by clarity and direction. When we lose sight of our goals or get distracted by things that don’t matter, motivation fades.

The fix? Refocus. Reconnect with your Anchor Goal—the reason you started in the first place. Align your energy with what truly matters, and you’ll find the drive you thought you lost.

Today, take a moment to refocus. Maybe pull out your 100 Reasons Why Worksheet and reveiw it.  What’s one thing you can zero in on to move the needle forward? Motivation will follow your clarity.


To your Momentum & Mastery,
Spencer

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.

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. How to Expand Your Vision: The 10X Filter : Ask yourself, "What would I have to change if I had to grow by 1000% instead of 10%?...
