Daily Dose: Working Hard is Only Part of the Formula

Hard work is essential, but it’s only part of the success formula. What separates top performers is their ability to create and use a working feedback loop.

Here’s why: Success isn’t a straight line. It’s a series of actions, evaluations, and adjustments. Without feedback, you risk working hard in the wrong direction.

The key is to stay open to the truth—what’s working, what’s not—and make changes accordingly. Hard work fuels momentum, but smart adjustments keep you on track.

Today, ask yourself: Do you have a system for honest feedback? If not, create one. If yes, use it to refine your path to success.

To your Momentum & Mastery,
Spencer

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...
