 Today's dose can be a liberating perspective: "There are no broken people, just ineffective strategies. Stop trying to 'fix' yourself and just change your approach." We often fall into the trap of self-criticism, believing we're inherently flawed or inadequate. But what if the problem isn't you , but rather the methods you're using? Instead of focusing on perceived personal shortcomings, consider: Where is your focus? Are you using the right tools and resources? What's the story you keep telling yourself about the issue? It's about recognizing that we all have the capacity for growth and change. Sometimes, all it takes is a simple shift in strategy to unlock our full potential. Stop trying to fix something that isn't broken, and focus on adapting your approach.

Today's Daily Dose is brought to you by the wisdom of Denzel Washington: “If you don’t fail, you’re not even trying.” It's a simple, powerful truth that cuts through the fear of setbacks. We often equate failure with defeat, but Denzel reminds us that it's an essential part of the journey. If you're playing it safe, avoiding risks, and staying within your comfort zone, you're likely missing out on tremendous opportunities for growth. Remember: Failure is feedback: It shows you what doesn't work and points you towards what might. Failure builds resilience: It strengthens your ability to bounce back from adversity. Failure is a sign of courage: It means you're willing to step outside your comfort zone and pursue your dreams. So, don't be afraid to fail. Embrace the challenge, learn from your mistakes, and keep pushing forward. To your Momentum & Mastery, Spencer You can read more about Denzel Washington and the photo is courtesy of  https://www....

We often mistake activity for progress. We chase shiny new leads, believing that volume will solve our problems. But what if the secret wasn't more, but more of the same ? In a recent PowerHour follow up session, I helped dissect the art of prospecting. The agent, diligently making calls to expired listings, found himself caught in the trap of chasing too many leads at once. He was busy, but was he effective? I'm not exactly a stranger to this, I'm someone who's seen the game played out countless times, cut to the core: Repetition, not randomness, is the key. Think about it: The Power of Familiarity: How many times have you ignored a call from an unknown number, only to answer when they persist? People are busy, distracted. They need multiple touchpoints to register your message. The Art of the Follow-Up: It's not about making 27 calls; it's about making 27 calls to the same people , repeatedly. Each call builds familiarity, establishes persistence, and incr...

Sheila Bell. Damn Yankee, serial entrepreneur, and owner of a gym that went from 81 members to 455. In six years. Part-time. Oh, and she's a top-producing real estate agent too. We love stories like this, don't we? We see the results, the growth, the sheer force of will, and we think, "Wow, she's got it all figured out." But here’s the thing: Sheila didn't have it all figured out. She was winging it. Riding on gut feeling, sheer determination, and a healthy dose of "I'll figure it out." Sound familiar? We all do it. We think our passion, our work ethic, our "intuition" will be enough. We ignore the fundamentals, the boring stuff, the systems that actually scale. Sheila, despite her incredible success, was running her businesses like a collection of hobbies. Reacting instead of planning. Juggling instead of delegating. She was trapped in the "lone wolf" myth, the idea that she had to do it all herself. Why do we cling to this m...

 I sat down with Marion Brisbon the other day. Marion, who, by the way, was number one in his brokerage last year. You know, the kind of guy people point to as "having it all figured out." But here's the thing: we all know that narrative is a lie. We love to tell ourselves stories of overnight success, of effortless wins. We see the polished results, the shiny trophies, and we think, "Must be nice. Must be easy." But it's never easy. Marion's story isn't about some sudden burst of genius. It's about thirty years in a structured, demanding environment, followed by a leap into the chaos of entrepreneurship. He thought he could ditch the systems, the processes, the dreaded "organization." He thought he could just "figure it out." Sound familiar? We all do it. We think our talent, our charm, our “gut feeling” will be enough. We ignore the fundamentals, the boring stuff, the stuff that actually moves the needle. Marion, despite his...

Yesterday, I had a powerful coaching session that reinforced a vital truth: "The most important conversation you’ll ever have is the one you keep having with yourself." And it made me want to share it with all of you. We spend so much time communicating with others, but how often do we truly listen to the dialogue within? That inner voice—the one that whispers doubts, fuels dreams, and guides our decisions—shapes our reality more than any external influence. Is your inner conversation: Encouraging or critical? Empowering or limiting? Focused on possibilities or dwelling on problems? Become aware of your self-talk. Challenge negative narratives and cultivate a mindset of self-compassion and belief. This internal dialogue is the foundation for everything you create in your life.

Not everything you do requires an audience. Moving in silence has its benefits. In a world obsessed with visibility, it's easy to feel pressured to share every step of your journey. But there's immense power in cultivating a space for quiet focus and unseen progress. Consider the advantages: Reduced distractions: Less external noise means more internal clarity. Focused execution: You can dedicate your energy to the work itself, not the performance of it. Surprise and impact: When you reveal your achievements, they carry greater weight. Preservation of energy: Not having to explain and defend every move saves mental energy. Sometimes, the most powerful moves are made in silence. Let your results speak for themselves.
