Seasonal Storms: How to Become the Person Who Conquers Any Challenge

 Let's be honest, you've got problems. 

We all do. 

And sometimes, they feel like they're never going to end. Like they're woven into the fabric of your life. But here's the thing you need to understand:

Your problems? They're likely neither permanent nor pervasive. They're seasonal.

Think of it like the weather. Winter doesn't last forever. Neither does a drought. And neither does the storm you're facing right now.

See, most of us get caught in the trap of believing our current struggles define us. We think, "This is just how it is." We let the temporary become our reality.

But that's a lie.

I've seen it time and time again. People get stuck in the "problem loop," believing they're victims of circumstance. They whine, they complain, they blame. They act like a thermometer, not a thermostat.

But champions? They understand the seasons. They know that every challenge is an opportunity to grow, to evolve, to become someone greater.

So, here's the question you need to ask yourself: Who do you have to become to step up to this challenge?

Not "how do I fix this problem?" Not "why is this happening to me?"

But who do I need to be?

Do you need to be more resilient? More resourceful? More courageous?

Maybe you need to develop a new skill. Maybe you need to change your mindset. Maybe you need to find a mentor.

Whatever it is, it's not about changing the problem. It's about changing you.

Because here's the secret: when you become the person who can handle any challenge, the problems start to disappear. They lose their power over you.

You stop reacting to life and start creating it. You stop being life's effect and become the cause.

Remember, this season will pass. But who you become in the process? That's what truly matters.

Don't let this challenge break you. Let it make you.

To your Momentum & Mastery,

Spencer

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%?...

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 ...

An Uncomfortable Truth About Your Growth

There’s a silent, invisible force working against you every time you try to level up . It’s not your competitors. It’s not the economy. It’s not even your own self-doubt (though that’s a loud one). It’s the relentless, biological, psychological drive for homeostasis . Your brain, your body, your habits, your team, even your spouse and friends—they all crave stability. Predictability. The known. So, when you declare that 2026 will not be a repeat of 2025… When you launch that new product that changes everything… When you commit to that daily habit that elevates your game… When you decide to exit a draining client relationship … The system pushes back . This pushback, this opposition , isn't a glitch. It's the feature. Most people interpret friction as a stop sign. They hit resistance and think, "Oh, I must be doing something wrong." They retreat. They adjust. They shrink back to the comfortable. And that, right there, is how they guarantee another year of the same . B...
