Moving forward is a way of life

Regardless of where you and your business has been, there's always a way to keep moving forward.

​I was born in Naples, Italy to an Italian Mother and to an American Father, serving in the US Navy.  They were divorced 7 years later. I went on to be raised by two women, both with entrepreneurial DNA. My early life was filled with change, evidenced by the fact I only started and ended in the same school twice.  Basically we changed schools every year except those two.  After a short stint to live in Italy my junior year, we moved back to the US and I decided to get my GED rather than go for my senior year.  I needed to help make money for the family and school wasn't my thing at the time.  Shortly thereafter, I sidestepped my dream of being in the military and went to Bible College, got married by 22 and a Father at 23.... and clueless.​

There's only so much you can provide for your family as an Assistant Pastor of a rural country church.  I worked Security for the mall.  It was during this phase of my life that my mom introduced me to her new partner.  Darlene was a Real Estate Agent.  She looked at me and said,  "you know, you would make a great buyers agent".  Within 12 months of that conversation, she and I went on to double her business.  4 years later we decided to move ourselves and the business to SW Florida.  There, we built a team of 6 buyer agents, 2 admins, and were living the dream.

Then life threw me a curveball...

I got the call that no Husband wants to hear.  "I'm not coming home" Right as I was at, what I thought, would be the prime of my career, I was faced with losing not just my wife but also my daughter.  To my blessing, Darlene had not only introduced me to real estate, she also introduced me to the world of Personal Development. Standing at a threshold in my life, I stood on the bank of the Caloosahatchee River and vowed to myself it would not be like this anymore. I went on a personal development binge digging into the deepest part of my soul.  I craved to understand why so many of the people in my history along with my current life had such deep scars.  Hurt people tend to hurt people.  I had to objectively separate their phycological ailments from my own personal experiences.

When I moved back to South Carolina (that's where this country-ass accent comes from), I became a recruiter for RE/MAX.  I chose to be there so I could be within driving distance from my daughter, of course.  Naturally, I had agents asking how we had built such a large business so quickly... and this is when the coaching began.  Ever since that shift that happend for me in 2004, I went on to coach full time using the simple mantra of Mindset, Mechanics, and Movement.  We've worked now with Army Colonels, Business owners of all kinds, and even trauma victims keep moving forward... or as we like to call it, being unshakeable.  
 
There's nothing that lights me up more than seeing others do what they previously may have thought impossible.  Creating the competitive edge gives agents the opportunity to compress years of my training/experience into fractions of theirs.  It's always been my mission to empower and enrich every life I connect with.  And giving agents the fast track on designing, building, and living a life they chose makes it all worth it for me.

This is super important to me because life without a business can be tough and business without a life is even tougher.  There's no reason why a hungry and committed person has to stay stuck, frustrated, or even paralyzed.  It would also be irresponsible of me to keep the unshakeable secrets to myself.  This, quite literally, is my mission.

But I’m getting ahead of myself...

Daily Dose - Regain Control, One Small Step at a Time

Today's dose is a practical question for immediate impact: "What small, consistent actions could you implement to create a sense of greater control in your day?" Feeling overwhelmed or like your days are running you? You're not alone. The solution isn't some grand overhaul, but rather a series of small, consistent actions that gradually shift the balance of power. Consider: Morning Ritual: Starting your day with a focused routine (meditation, journaling, planning) can set the tone for control. Time Blocking: Scheduling specific tasks in your calendar prevents reactive chaos. Daily Prioritization: Identifying your top 3 most important tasks ensures you're focusing on what truly matters. Mindful Breaks: Taking short, intentional breaks throughout the day helps maintain focus and prevent burnout. These small actions, when implemented consistently, compound into a powerful sense of control and clarity. To your Momentum & Mastery, Spencer Photo by Alex...

Daily Dose - The Inevitable Circle Shift

Today's dose addresses a truth often overlooked: "With every rise in your standards, you can expect a proportional replacement of your inner circle." As you grow, evolve, and elevate your expectations for yourself, your environment will naturally adapt. This includes the people you surround yourself with. This isn't about being judgmental or cutting people out. It's about: Alignment: Your inner circle should reflect your current values and aspirations. Growth: You need to surround yourself with people who challenge and inspire you. Energy: Toxic relationships drain your energy, while supportive ones fuel your progress. As you raise your standards, some relationships may naturally fade, while others will strengthen, and new ones will emerge. Embrace this natural evolution. It's a sign of your growth.

Daily Dose - Accountability: Reclaim Your Power Source

 "Accountability is something you do FOR yourself, not TO yourself. It's the key to taking back your power." We often perceive accountability as a restrictive force, a set of rules imposed upon us. But in reality, it's the very tool that unlocks our potential. When you hold yourself accountable, you: Reclaim control: You stop being a victim of circumstance and become the architect of your destiny. Build self-trust: Consistently honoring your commitments strengthens your belief in your own capabilities. Accelerate progress: Clear goals and consistent action propel you towards your desired outcomes. Accountability isn't about punishment; it's about empowerment. It's about taking ownership and stepping into your full potential.
