Daily Dose: Cash is King

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 Magic Only Happens When You Become the Magician

There’s a story in every wish. A quiet hope that tomorrow will be better, that health will improve, relationships will blossom, or business will thrive. Wishes are alluring, aren’t they? They promise magic without effort. But here’s the truth: magic doesn’t happen to you. It happens through you.

That’s the idea Dave Lakhani captured with this piercing quote: “The magic only happens when you become the magician.” It’s not a wish. It’s a declaration—a call to action.

The Wish vs. The Wand

We all drift into wishful thinking at times: Wouldn’t it be magical if my income tripled by next week? or If only my business was running itself... But here’s the thing about wishing: it’s passive. It’s the antithesis of magic because magic requires action.

To make magic, you need the wand—and the skill to wield it. You need to become the magician.

Becoming the Magician

So, what does that look like? It’s not about sleight of hand or illusions. It’s about stepping into an identity that aligns with the results you want.

  • Want to be healthier? Call yourself an athlete and train like one.
  • Want to transform your business? Show up as the $50 million CEO you aspire to be, even if today you’re only at $5 million.

Start asking yourself, What would that version of me do? How would they think, act, and make decisions? Then do those things.

The Magician’s Guide to Mastery

Here’s how to start creating your magic:

  1. Learn the Skills.
    Magic begins with preparation. You can’t shortcut this step. Learn the marketing, negotiation, and leadership skills you’ll need. Get into rooms where magicians—those who’ve mastered what you want—are practicing their craft.

  2. Practice Relentlessly.
    Magic isn’t born in theory. It’s forged in action. The skills you acquire need repetition until they become second nature. You don’t just perform; you perform so often that mistakes become impossible.

  3. Find Your Audience.
    Even the best magicians need an audience. Too many people hide their talents, waiting for “the right time.” If you’re not showing up for others, you’re missing the opportunity to create the connections that fuel success.

  4. Get on Bigger Stages.
    Small tricks in small rooms are fine, but true magicians push for more. Bigger rooms, bigger shows, bigger results. The stage you step onto determines the scale of your impact.

Why It Matters

Becoming the magician isn’t just about achieving goals; it’s about owning your power. It’s about realizing that the extraordinary isn’t reserved for a lucky few. It’s the result of intention, action, and persistence.

If you’re tired of waiting for magic to happen, it’s time to make a choice. Stop wishing. Start creating.

The magic only happens when you decide to take the wand.

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...
