PSA: If you're someone who thinks: There is "no need to rush my dreams." I have bad news for you.

Don't Buy Their Course... People in all niches are looking to make money. ↳ Plain and simple. This includes: • Affiliate marketing • Creator economy • Dropshipping Etc... Sometimes – no, USUALLY, they do this by pedalling something they barely understand. The harsh reality is: People selling courses generally make most of their money from – You guessed it... ↳ Selling their courses. This means that the thing they "teach" in their course, is not the main cash-flow driver for them. ⇢ You buying their course is... If the course content were the main driver, they would do more of that, and less of the: "I'm super altruistic so I'll share with everyone" thing. Before you trust someone's "achievements" ask yourself this question ⇣ Supposing they aren't straight up exaggerating, is their claim even that impressive? "I got 1000 followers in 30 days..." "I landed 6 clients in 6 months, buy my sh*t!" "I do 2k per month with THIS SECRET PRODUCT..." Cool, I guess...? Can you not do that using free resources like: • YouTube? • ChatGPT? • A little elbow grease...? Yes, you can. They're praying on beginner's ignorance. But not ignorance of the real content, ↳ Ignorance of the fact they they're selling you smoke and mirrors. Look: If they can achieve XYZ, without using the course they created AFTER the fact, then so can you... You don't need their: • Platitudes • Common sense tips "Master notion templates" Or whatever... They're just selling you, man. That's it. Bubble-burster: If their stuff were truly special, ↳ it wouldn't be in a widely available and *affordable* course... It would be expensive, exclusive, or 1 on 1. Don't buy into the hype and be another casualty of marketing... They'll sell you a sh*tty course, then preach about how: Their next course will be about how to sell courses! Don't fall for it. You got this. ––– Until next time, Spencer

Discipline is the power to PERsist. Willpower is the power to REsist. This awareness bolsters both batteries.

º Hot-take of the day º Ideas are just: • Jumbled • Neurochemically driven • Impulses to act Which, are unguided by a true rational compass until they're written down. If you disagree, try writing your next big idea: Now look in comparison...

Hard pill to swallow: Sometimes you will f**k up. This is to be expected. You must: 1) Get back on the horse 2) Forget the minutiae and 3) Zoom out Move past the small mistakes. Instead: • Force yourself to see the trend It will tell you all you need to know.

Encourage constant growth in yourself: Be strict with yourself, and tolerant with others. You see the promised land to which you're headed. Others cannot muster such a vision.

JOMO: The Joy of Missing Out We've all felt it: • Events we're not at • Moments we're not part of • Experiences we feel we're missing It sucks and it's scary. We don't want to miss out. But here's a revelation: ↳ Missing out can be intentional. And it is in intentionality that we may find joy. – The Fear Was Real – Whenever I was busy: • Working, • Ginding, • Hustling but my friends were out partying or having fun... I was consumed by FOMO. But then I realized: intentionality is power. – The Transformation – Now, as a successful COO of a $30M company, I credit: • Intentional choices • Purposeful learning • Strategic sacrifices With ALL of the success I've found so far. – The Pillars of Intentionality – 1) Meditation: 20 minutes daily. Benefits? Clarity and reduced anxiety. 2) Diet: Balanced and mindful. Results? Mental health and sustained energy. 3) Prioritized Mornings: Reflect, plan, and start with purpose. 4) Selective Immersion: Go all in when learning. It's efficient and goal-aligned. 5) Fitness: Beyond health, it builds discipline and mental well-being. – The Outcome – From FOMO to JOMO. From envy to empowerment. – Closing Thoughts – Some might question my choices and tactics That's okay. I've moved from feeling left out to choosing my path. And my path has brought me more joy than I ever imagined. The real party was over here all along. – My Message To You – Feeling FOMO? ↳ Embrace intentionality. Trust the process and find your unique path. Therein, you will find joy. ––– Thank you for reading. Please share this post if it resonated with you. ––– Until next time, Spencer

Maintenance is a myth. You cannot stay in 1st place for long if you do not fight: A hungrier dog is climbing the ladder behind you.

Dear, young person pursuing success: Stay vigilant of how you change when you begin to achieve. Success leads to: Opportunities that kill success. You will see what I mean in time.

Power does not come from getting more. Power comes from needing less.

When you constantly say: "I'm going to do X one day" Your mouth turns the idea into sound, And your brain turns the sound into dopamine. Consider this: You never ended up doing X, because you needed that extra dopamine to actually get started. Talk less. Act more.

99% of people were lied to. Doing things "in moderation" is not the way. Success does not come from: • Balancing your time • Taking things slow • Being moderate Hyper-success comes from relentlessness. Win the Superbowl, then party. Don't sprinkle partying throughout.

The Devil works harder when you're succeeding. He does not send big elephant-sized catastrophes to upset your course: He sends mosquito-sized distractions. This way, he can operate under the radar. And steal more and more time from your potential.

"Fake it til you make it" recapitulated: Convince the people who observe you most often that you are X. This results in you spending most of your time actually being X.

The brain focuses best for 90-minute sprints. Productivity hack: The 90-minute work tunnel. Eliminate all distractions *from the room* for 90 minutes and grind. You'll get more productivity out of this than: The 8 study session you told yourself you'll do tomorrow...

Your Life's Purpose I used to be confused. I had a lot of: ✧ Drive ✧ Energy ✧ Ambition But I didn't know where to place them. I understood the idea of "actualizing" my potential or whatever... "but into what?" I asked myself. See, as you may know: It's very difficult to take the steps necessary to really keep yourself on track if: You're not exactly sure where that track is headed. In my efforts to decide where my train was headed, I took time for: ✧ Study ✧ Coaching ✧ Reflection To try and figure it out. I would eventually happen upon an amazing realization: ↳ You purpose in life is not something you discover – it's something you develop. Here's the truth: The purpose of your life is not out there hidden under some rock or behind some bush. It's not something you're going to magically find. It is, however, something you're going to develop. But this takes: ✧ Time ✧ Discipline ✧ Commitment The issue with the world today is there is always another option. ↳ A new tactic ↳ A more attractive method ↳ A strategy you "should have been using all along..." It's all distraction... On top of that, there is always some guru telling you how "easy" this other path is. Again, it's all distraction. I encourage you to commit yourself to something. To truly commit. It might be: • An instrument • A writing practice • A sport or hobby of some sort You'll see that when you decide: "I am in this for X amount of time," and stick to it... The fire within you begins to be stoked. This, is how purpose comes about. Stick with something. If you're someone who feels like they have no purpose, remember this: Purpose is not something your discover. It's something you develop. Give it time. ––– Thanks for reading.

Develop the capacity to fend for yourself. It's better to be a warrior in a garden, than a gardener in a war.

Want your business to blow up? Be known for something. This way, whenever XYZ problem pops up for them: You, as a solution, pop up automatically. Be the "XYZ guy/girl" and you'll live in people's heads rent-free. Absolute cheat code.

Satan, Mosquitoes, & Who You Could've Been The Devil is not like God. Unlike God, the Devil is not: ⏃ Omniscient ⏃ Omnipotent ⏃ Omnipresent In other words, the Devil is not in all places at once. No, the Devil must choose where he wants to be. ↳ which target he wants to pursue. Nevertheless, the Devil does his rounds. However, he does not waste time on those who are losing. He gave them a push to start... Now he relies on them to continue their trajectory down to Hell. But what is Hell? Hell is not an eternal fiery pit under the ground. ↳ Hell is just a room with a familiar face. Your face. Hell is: 1) Getting to the Devil's house 2) Being welcomed by Satan himself 3) Satan introducing you to a person who looks just like you But they are nothing like you. They are the person you could have been. For eternity you must sit and listen to: ✧ The love ✧ The stories ✧ The respect ✧ The validation ✧ The accomplishments That the person sitting across from you gained. What YOU could have gained if you actualized your potential. But how does one end up in the Devil's house? The Devil slowly leads you there. ↳ He sends his demons to set you off course. But like we already know, Satan cannot be in all places at once. He must choose who and when to target. Here's what I can tell you: He pursues you most, when you are winning. When you are succeeding... And he will not send you elephant-sized catastrophes. No, those are sent by God. Elephants are sent in order to: A) Strengthen your resolve Or B) Have you avoid something worse The Devil, on the other hand: sends mosquitoes. The tiny little distractions that are designed to: Siphon off your time and potential little by little. The Devil banks on them going under the radar... Not knowing they've even bit you before you start scratching. And the odd time you do feel the mosquito land on your skin, Satan knows you'll use: • Rationalizations • Justifications • Excuses To let it past your defences: • Hitting snooze ⇢ "I need the extra sleep" • Breaking your diet ⇢ "I've been good for a week" • Taking another day off the gym ⇢ "I've earned it" These all compound. And little by little... You walk towards to the Devil's house. Towards Hell. The Devil cannot be everywhere all the time. He must choose when to strike. He focuses on you when you're succeeding. Stay vigilant for his mosquitos. ––– Thanks for reading. Remember that your potential is your obligation. So what you can become, you... Must Become. ––– Until next time, Spencer

With practice, your subconscious becomes a soldier. *Conscious brain gives an order...: "Achieve XYZ." *Unconscious brain: "Orders received. Expect results."
