The Derailment Trap: How a Missing Future Makes You Life's Effect (Momentum & Mastery)

Let's talk about something that can silently sabotage your success: a missing future, or more specifically, a compelling future. 

In my book, "Momentum & Mastery," I wrote: "In the absence of a compelling future, you’ll find that when derailments happen, you become life's effect."

Think about that for a second.

When you don't have a clear, exciting vision of where you're going, you're essentially adrift. You're reacting to life's circumstances instead of creating them.

The Derailment Danger

Life throws curveballs. Derailments happen. It's inevitable. But how you respond to those derailments makes all the difference.

If you have a compelling future, a vision that pulls you forward, those derailments become minor setbacks. You have a north star to guide you back on course.

But without that vision? You become life's effect. You're tossed around by every unexpected event, every challenge, every obstacle.

I've seen it happen. I've even experienced it myself. When I didn't have a clear picture of my desired future, I was constantly reacting to circumstances. One setback would throw me completely off track.

But when you create a compelling future, you take back control. You become the architect of your destiny. You stop being a victim of life's whims.

Let's be blunt: are you living on life's terms, or are you living on your own? Are you reacting, or are you creating?

Your Action Step

Take some time today to define or revisit your compelling future. What do you want your life to look like in one year, five years, ten years? Write it down. Visualize it. Feel it.

And then, start taking action to make it a reality.

Don't let life derail you. Create a future that pulls you forward.

To your Momentum & Mastery,

Spencer

Beyond Right and Wrong: The Power of Asking This Instead

Good morning from Raleigh! Happy Thursday, let's talk about a subtle shift in perspective that can have a big impact on our decision-making and interactions: Rather than thinking right or wrong, choose to look at effective and ineffective. We're often conditioned to frame things in binary terms: this is the right way, that's the wrong way. This can lead to rigid thinking, unnecessary conflict, and a resistance to exploring alternative approaches. But the world, especially the world of business, is rarely black and white. What truly matters isn't whether something aligns with a preconceived notion of "rightness," but whether it actually works . Is it achieving the desired outcome? Is it moving you closer to your goals? Is it fostering positive results? Think about it: Marketing strategies: Instead of arguing about which approach is inherently "right," focus on which one is generating the most leads and conversions. Team dynamics: Instead of labeli...

The Unfinished Game: Why Today's Score Isn't the Final Tally

Spencer here again with another daily dose, from Virginia Beach, VA. The day's wins might feel good. The sting of a setback might linger. But here's a quiet truth worth holding onto: Just because you are winning doesn't necessarily mean you have won. And just because you might be losing, doesn't mean you have completely lost. Today's tally is just that: today's. The game isn't over. The story continues. We get seduced by the immediate feedback loop. A big sale? We're on top. A lost client? We're doomed. But these are often just blips on a longer radar. Winning today can breed complacency. A belief that the momentum is automatic, that the hard work is done. But the market shifts. Competitors adapt. Complacency is the slow leak that sinks even the most buoyant ship. And losing today? It can feel like the end. The final curtain. But often, it's just a data point. A course correction. A chance to learn, to pivot, to come back stronger. The greatest c...

The Two Demands of Your Future

 Your goals are not passive wishes. They are active demands. They demand a change. And every demand can be broken down into two essential, non-negotiable actions: What must begin? This isn't about grand gestures. It's about the single, focused, uncomfortable step. The one email. The five minutes of planning. The single conversation. The research. The quiet practice. What is the smallest possible ignition that your future self is begging you to light, starting this week? And then, the harder part: What must cease? Because capacity isn't infinite. Every "yes" to an old habit is a "no" to a new future. Every comfortable distraction is a veto of your dreams. What is the single, comfortable, familiar thing you are doing—or not doing—that your future self needs you to ruthlessly eliminate , starting this week? Your goals aren't waiting for perfection. They're waiting for the intentional, deliberate shift. The start. The stop. What are the two demand...
