Why do you need Spencer to help your figure your shit out?
If you feel like youāve got it all sorted, that youāre good, that youāve got your shit all the way together, then you donāt need me.
TLDR: You donāt need this, but it will make your life easier.
Having a mentor, counselor, guide, or advisor is a time-honored process for a reason. Iām here to help you make progress toward your goals and figure out the things in your life that need figuring. You can certainly do this without me! But I make it easier by bringing clarity, focus, and 15 years of business development experience to save you from learning some of the lessons the hard way.
What Is: Figure This Shit Out Coaching
An irreverent, effective, and slightly aggressive coaching process where Spencer helps you get things done in your business.
Youāre working on a project and things arenāt going as smooth as youād like them to go. Something is stuck, youāre feeling lost, the project just isnāt where it needs to be.
So youāre going to work with me 1:1 in a coaching process where we:
- Clarify the Vision and Mission.
- Create an actionable plan.
- Simplify that plan into 5 simple checklist tasks.
- Brainstorm when you get stuck.
- I motivate and support you (in a kind and loving way...) to ensure you make progress.
Whatās your coaching process?
You've heard this same process 1 million times in the business world. It's probably tattooed on Peter Drucker's ribs.
Hereās my coaching process:
- You have an amazing dream.
- Clarify it into a vision of how you want the world to look.
- Turn the vision into a specific mission with goals that you're trying to accomplish, likely measured with numbers. Like a mission that a general would give the Navy SEALs.
- Breakdown the mission into projects.
- Those projects get turned into milestones so you have a clear short-term objective.
- Milestones are then converted into numerous tasks. You can then proceed to complete the tasks.
Dream > Vision > Mission > Milestones > Project > Task
Presto-wamao and your amazing dream comes true!
Except it never works like that. The world changes, resources come and go, things get stuck in loops. You have to pivot the organization. Nothing is ever that simple. There are as many twists and turns on the road as there are potholes on Grand River Avenue in Detroit, Michigan.
- Dream > Vision > Mission: Depending on how clear you are on these things, it usually takes an hour to sketch out. It will constantly be refined as you gain clarity over time.
- Project > Project > Tasks: Business is a marathon, so we're gonna pick the next milestone that you want to reach and create a specific project to get there with clear, actionable, bullet point tasks.
āThe 5ā
TLDR: 5 check box tasks on a sticky note that you need to work on in order. Weāve already prioritized and planned these out, so you just start at the top and work your way down.
The universe is an infinite place, and it's still expanding. Your business operates within this infinitely expanding universe. So, of course, you're always going to have more to do than you have time for. That's normal, natural, and the way it's supposed to be. And this is why you need to be ruthless at prioritizing, setting healthy boundaries, and cutting to the heart of the matter.
What does this look like?
šØš»āāļøĀ The Monthly Flow
Each month we have a meeting that follows the same agenda structure each time.
šŗļø Reading your vision aloud with gusto.
š„ Ā Track your progress towards your milestones.
šĀ Update and stare down the key metrics weāre tracking on a shared spreadsheet.
šĀ Updates on the 5 key tasks from our last meeting.
š§ Ā Brainstorming problems
šļøĀ Setting The 5 for the next month.
š¬Ā Between the Meetings
Between our meetings weāre going to be checking in frequently via text message:
ā see how The 5 are going,
ā brainstorming any problems and
ā generally kicking your butt to stay on track.
All of this is tracked on our shared Notion dashboard, and if you get stuck on something and want to delegate it to me to solve for you, we can do that too.
š»Ā Technology:
Hereās the tech weāre going to be using together.
Communications: SMS texting or WhatsApp - I don't do emails. I think they're bloated and a pain in the ass. If you want to reach me, text me.
Project Management and Notes: Notion.so. A flexible platform for us to takes notes as reference information and to manage projects as actionable information. That's where we keep everything organized.
Meetings: Zoom with an AI Assistant recording and taking notes.
- Occasionally, I meet people in person, but I actually think I do better work via Zoom because I have multiple monitors in front of me, and I can work on something while you're talking. It also allows both of us to have some emotional distance.
