Daily Dose - The Power of the Struggle

Today's dose is a powerful reminder: "Struggling and failure are not the same thing."

So often, we equate the challenges we face with outright failure. We get discouraged when things get tough, thinking that the struggle itself means we're not good enough or that we're destined to fail.

But the truth is, struggling is often a necessary part of the process. It's in those moments of challenge that we:

  • Learn and grow: Struggles force us to adapt, innovate, and find new solutions.
  • Build resilience: Overcoming obstacles makes us stronger and more capable.
  • Discover our limits (and push past them): Struggle shows us where we can improve and expand.

Don't fear the struggle. Embrace it as an opportunity for growth. It's a stepping stone on the path to success, not a sign of failure.

To your Momentum & Mastery,

Spencer

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...
