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.

Getting a Grip When the World Won't Stop Spinning

There’s a moment when everything feels out of hand—when plans unravel, and control slips through your fingers. Maybe it’s a tech hiccup while you’re live-streaming, or perhaps it’s the weight of navigating divorce, custody battles, or exponential growth in your business. Life rarely offers a single-threaded challenge. It’s a tangle, a maze, and it’s easy to get lost.

The temptation is to grasp harder. To hold on with white-knuckled intensity. But “getting a grip” isn’t what most people think it is. It's not about tightening control. It's about loosening rigidity.

Start by Changing the Meaning

What you make something mean determines everything. It’s a framing issue. Does an unexpected challenge signal failure, or does it whisper opportunity? Same event, different meaning. Ask better questions, and you'll find different answers. Spencer reminded us of that in his talk—what else could this mean? When you change what something represents, the world shifts slightly in your favor.

History is littered with figures who did this well. Spencer's mention of Elizabeth Cady Stanton is a case in point. She saw injustice not as an immovable fact but as a call to arms. Change the meaning, change the world. That applies whether you’re fighting for rights or fighting through a tough day at work.

Focus on What’s Here

It’s hard to see clearly when everything feels out of control. Focus often becomes a wandering compass, pointing at every potential disaster. But focus is malleable. It can be redirected. That’s why gratitude isn’t just a feel-good exercise; it’s a tool for regaining control. What’s working? What do you already have? Gratitude forces your attention onto what’s stable, and stability gives you a platform to stand on when things get shaky.

Move. Do. Act.

Change isn’t passive. Once you’ve reframed and refocused, it’s time to act. This doesn’t mean solving every problem instantly. It can be as simple as a breath, a walk, a decision to reach out for support. Movement, however small, breaks inertia. Action reclaims agency. When everything feels chaotic, small steps are acts of defiance.

Three Steps, Infinite Applications

Change the meaning. Refocus. Take action. This is how you get a grip—not by clutching tighter but by leaning into flexibility, curiosity, and momentum. When you learn to move with the world instead of fighting it, you become someone who thrives in chaos.

You might not always control the spin of the world. But you can choose how you respond. 

Get a grip, and keep moving forward,

Spencer Combs

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...
