Daily Dose: Cash is King

 Here’s the truth: Cash flow solves a host of issues. Struggling with stress in your business? Cash flow can ease it. Facing tough decisions? Cash flow creates options. The more consistent your cash flow, the more freedom and flexibility you have to tackle challenges head-on. The key? Focus your time and energy on money-making, goal-relevant activities. It’s easy to get sidetracked by busy work, but true progress comes from actions that directly contribute to your bottom line. Today, ask yourself: Is what I’m doing right now driving cash flow or just filling time? Adjust accordingly, and watch the problems start to shrink.

The Essence of Coaching: Diving Deep Beyond the Surface - Spencer Uncensored Ep 65

Woo-hoo! Welcome back to another exhilarating episode of "Spencer Uncensored," where we're now on episode 65! It's been quite the journey, and I'm thrilled to have you all on board as we navigate the complexities of life, business, and growth together. It's April 2024, and as we cruise through this month, I'm reminded of the permanence of our digital footprints. Someone mentioned to me just the other day about a video I published years ago, and it hit me—our contributions truly do live on indefinitely.
I've been immersed in the coaching industry for nearly two decades, and it's a world I've come to know intimately. Tonight, I want to shed some light on the distinctions between coaching, consulting, and counseling. These terms often get tossed around interchangeably, but they signify very different approaches to personal and professional development.


Let's start with counseling. It's all about healing and repair, focusing on past traumas and issues to bring someone back to a state of balance. While immensely valuable, counseling delves into the why of past actions and behaviors, which is different from what coaching aims to achieve.


Coaching, on the other hand, propels you forward. It's about identifying where you are, where you want to be, and how to get there. Coaching isn't about digging up the past; it's about crafting the future. It's a directive approach that helps you move from average to exceptional. And yes, while we sometimes touch upon past issues, it's always with the goal of overcoming barriers to success.


Consulting fills another role altogether. It's prescriptive, offering specific advice and steps to achieve a particular outcome. While coaching can encompass elements of consulting, they serve different purposes. Consulting tells you what to do; coaching guides you in discovering how to do it for yourself.


Here's what coaching, specifically the way I approach it, aims to do:


  1. Focus: Helping you maintain clarity on what you want and why.
  2. Accountability: Not about shaming for inaction, but about understanding the steps taken and assessing their effectiveness.
  3. Consistency: Creating systems and habits that sustain progress and performance.
  4. Growth: Pushing beyond comfort zones to achieve and set new, ambitious goals.

Coaching is a journey—a partnership. It's about becoming the person capable of achieving the goals you set. It's about transformation, not just transaction. As we continue to explore the intricacies of coaching and its impact, I invite you to join me in this conversation. Whether you're considering coaching for the first time or are already on the path, remember, the journey is about growth, focus, and surpassing limits. Let's keep moving forward, crush our goals, and redefine what's possible.
​

Until next time, keep well and keep striving for greatness. Your journey is just beginning, and I'm here to guide you every step of the way. Let's make it happen!

The Dark Side of Momentum: Why Disturbance Drives Success - Spencer Uncensored ep 85

Warning: This post contains explicit language. Good evening, Mavericks and Momentum Makers. You’re here because you’re not satisfied with average, and neither am I. This is Spencer Uncensored, Episode 85. If you're just joining us, buckle up. We’ve had 84 conversations before this about how to build momentum, boost mastery, and tap into the deeper levels of productivity, profitability, and purpose that most people only dream about. ​ Let’s get one thing straight: Businesses don’t grow—people do. The money, the success, the accolades—they all come on the backside of personal development. Why? Because over the last 20 years of working with business leaders, I’ve seen it over and over again: You don’t level up your business without leveling up yourself. If you’re new around here, welcome. And if you’ve been with me for a while, thanks for coming back. Let’s dive in. We recently wrapped up the Unshakeable Weekend Event—a three-day immersion where people changed their trajectories or cr...

Harnessing Resilience: Champion Mindset Collective with Anthony Dahya

 I recently had the privilege of joining Anthony Dahya on the Champion Mindset Collective Podcast to get deep into the journey that led to the creation of the Momentum & Mastery and the Unshakeable Framework. This conversation was a powerful reminder that resilience, clarity, and purpose can transform uncertainty into unstoppable progress. The Power of Personal Development in Professional Growth As I shared during the podcast, the foundation of my work in coaching, writing, and speaking has been built upon personal development. My journey has been shaped by a host of challenges—from battling physical issues like epilepsy to navigating divorce and family struggles. These experiences led me to a core belief: business growth is inherently tied to personal growth. Businesses don't grow; people do. Over two decades, I have honed the Unshakeable Framework to help leaders turn adversity into opportunity. This journey has been driven by a relentless pursuit of resilience, which I def...

Moving Beyond the Drift: Insights from the Evolve and Elevate Show

I recently joined Erica Bishop on her Evolve and Elevate podcast , where we explored the question that sits at the core of any meaningful journey: how do we move beyond the drift? Drifting isn’t laziness; it’s a natural tendency to fall back on routines and the familiar, but it’s also a trap. As we discussed, real progress—the kind that transforms careers, relationships, and lives—requires more than just wishful thinking. It demands movement. Our conversation centered on a framework I developed, a simple yet powerful structure to unlock momentum: Dream, Desire, Disturbance, and Decision . Each part is essential to creating true, unshakable progress. Here’s what that looks like: Dream Beyond the Drift On the show, we talked about how dreaming isn’t about daydreams or fantasies. It’s about envisioning a life that stretches the limits of our current reality. What would a fully aligned, purpose-driven life look like for you? When you allow yourself to dream big, you begin to expand the bo...
