Sean Michael Crane's Unstoppable Mindset
Turn Past Mistakes Into Unstoppable Motivation
Have you ever felt completely stuck because of past mistakes? That gnawing feeling that you've wasted too much time or made too many wrong turns to ever create the life you truly want?
This powerful episode tackles that exact mindset. I share how to transform your perceived failures and regrets into your greatest assets - converting them into an unstoppable driving force. Drawing from my own rock-bottom experience in a jail cell 13 years ago, I reveal how channeling past pain properly can create motivation that never diminishes, but actually grows stronger with time.
We explore the crucial difference between fleeting surface-level motivation and having a profound "why" that sustains you through any challenge. I break down why legends like Kobe Bryant would shoot free throws at 3AM while teammates slept, and how Tom Brady maintained championship-level drive until his final game. Their secret wasn't just talent—it was something deeper that pushed them beyond where talent alone could take them.
At 37, many tell me I'm "ahead" in business and life. My response? I'm still making up for lost time. That perspective—channeling past regrets into present action—has fueled 13 years of relentless personal growth and business development. This alchemist's approach lets you transform negative experiences into the catalyst that propels you toward extraordinary achievement.
Ready to finally harness your past instead of being held back by it? This episode provides the mindset shifts needed to convert your pain into unstoppable power. Subscribe, share with someone who needs this message, and let's build something extraordinary together.

Speaker 1:It's going to take a lot longer than you expect it to.

Speaker 1:When you have a deep and profound why it supersedes any goal. It'll push you to keep going until the day you die. Welcome back to another episode of the Unstoppable Mindset Podcast. I'm your host, sean Crane. Thank you for tuning in.
Speaker 1:This message today is specifically for somebody who feels like you've made too many mistakes to create the life that you want, that you feel stuck, that you feel like too much time has passed and you're making these assumptions or excuses in your head that's holding you back. I'm going to give you some ammo today, you guys, but before I do, before I share this gem and this knowledge and this life experience that helped me, that's going to help you I want you to go ahead and make sure you subscribe to my podcast on Apple, spotify, subscribe to YouTube and please share it with somebody who needs to be inspired in their lives. Okay, the podcast is Unstoppable Mindset. We're on YouTube, we're all over the different platforms. So make sure that you are sharing this message, because I want to reach more people and I need your help. Today, I want to talk to you guys about how to turn all of your mistakes, or past and perceived failures, into assets that can drive you and serve you into the ultimate form of motivation. In fact, what if I told you that all the things that you perceive to be bad, all the mistakes you think you made, all the stuff that you look back on and wish you didn't do, all the time you've wasted, all the stuff that you allow to work against you or make you feel less than or discourage you, what if you could use it to drive you, to compel you to go above and beyond in your life and, in fact, it was the ultimate form of motivation? How amazing would that? Be right, because everyone wants to be motivated, but the thing is, motivation comes and goes. Some days you have more energy than others. Some days you feel more optimistic than others. You know, some days you wake up and you're just not feeling it, and when that motivation is out there, a lot of people don't do what they got to do right, because you're thinking the wrong way In your mind, you're not focused on the things that are going to drive you to take your life to the next level.
Speaker 1:Okay, a lot of people want things to be easy. They want them to be comfortable. They want it just to come to them without having to work towards it. Whether it's your health and physique right Now, everyone's doing Ozempic work towards it. Whether it's your health and physique, right now, everyone's doing Ozempic.
Speaker 1:Whether it's finances, everyone's hoping that they can hit the lottery or they, you know, get a sugar daddy, or you hit big in crypto and all this stuff. Like, everyone wants quick wins and you know, fast money, quick results. That's like the world we live in, and what I found is it couldn't be further from the truth. If you really want success, it's going to take a lot longer than you expect it to. You're going to have to grind your ass off and you're going to have to find something deeper inside of you that's going to get you out of bed each and every day to do the work.
Speaker 1:A lot of people say, like what's your why? What's your why? What's your why? What your why is. What that means is like why the fuck are you trying to get these results? Why does it matter if you have the body? Why does it matter if you have the money? Why does it matter if you get these results? There has to be something that's emotionally charged and deeper inside of you that drives you beyond the thing itself that you're aspiring to attain. Right. There has to be something inside of you that pushes you to go above and beyond and to work for as long as it takes to get to that result. And you can tell people who have that deep, intrinsic drive and we'll call it motivation to excel in life there's something internally that is driving them beyond the materialism, beyond the thing itself that they're aspiring to attain. Look at the great athletes like a Tom Brady or Kobe Bryant. They were obsessed. Kobe Bryant was shooting free throws and jump shots at three in the morning while all his teammates slept. He'd go in the parking lot and take a cat nap, a power nap, in his car and everyone would be showing up and they said Kobe was in his car sleeping in the parking lot. That fucking guy was driven on another level, tom Brady. He won the most Super Bowls out of any quarterback and he stayed competitive and driven till the very last game. He played Like he.
Speaker 1:A lot of people, the money changes them. A lot of people, when they reach the pinnacle of success, they let their guard down that level of dedication waivers. They're not as focused because they reached that goal that they were aspiring to reach. But when you have a deep and profound why, it supersedes any goal, it'll push you to keep going until the day you die. And that's what I found, you guys, and that's what I want to share with you, because this can spark and light a fire inside of your heart and soul that can never be extinguished. This could change the way that you look at the world and all these mundane tasks and these disciplines and these habits that I talked to you about forming. It can change the way you perceive them in such a way that you value the work so much.
Speaker 1:You get excited to get up in the morning. You don't want to sleep in. You get excited to do the work that's going to build your life. You don't look at it as some daunting task. You don't say I have to go do this or I have to go do that. You're like dude, I get to, I get to.
Speaker 1:It's a way different attitude and the thing that got me really started on this thought process was a lot of people messaged me last week about my birthday. I turned 37 and I got a bunch of happy birthdays and a lot of like, really positive, nice comments and it feels good. You know, it feels good to be acknowledged and to be celebrated. I get another year of life, thank you, god. You know, and a lot of people are like, man, for 37, you're pretty far ahead, sean. Like a lot of people in the business world that I'm in 37, you're pretty far ahead, sean. Like a lot of people in the business world that I'm in, a lot of people who are entrepreneurs, who are striving to make it big, they're like damn, dude, like I've seen what you built with Unstoppable. I've seen where you come from. You're freaking far ahead. I can't imagine where you're going to be when you turn 40. You know, most people build their wealth in their 40s and 50s. Most people work their butt off in their 30s. They start to have success in their 40s and their 50s is when they make it, so to speak. Your 20s is just trial and error and fucking around having fun, right. But my response to the people that say dang, sean, you're really far ahead for 37 is? No, I'm not. I'm making up for lost time. Still, to this day, you have seen nothing yet.
Speaker 1:In my eyes, in my mind, I'm still making up for all the years I neglected, all the years where I wasn't purpose-driven, all the years where I didn't live up to my potential, all the wasted opportunities, all the bad decisions, all the mistakes, all the failures. I have so many mistakes and failures compounded in my past. Some of you guys are sitting here dwelling on something you did wrong and you're letting it discourage you and you're letting it discourage you and you're letting it kill your confidence and your drive. Like dude, I did that a thousand times over. I was reckless, I was wild, I abused drugs and alcohol. I lived the party lifestyle, didn't have any goals, didn't push myself to be my best. Like I had the potential to play sports in college. I never went to college. I didn't play sports in high school. Like I didn't do anything exceptional. I didn't do anything that people would look at and go damn dude. Like that's an inspiring person. Damn dude, that guy's like really going after it in life.
Speaker 1:And when I realized that was when I was sitting in a jail cell and I finally had to be accountable. I finally had to reflect on my life and who I'd become. And the pain of that regret and that realization broke me into a million pieces. I felt as small as you could ever imagine, right Like God just freaking humbled me. I was at rock bottom and instead of allowing that realization to make me feel bad about myself or to go further into my addiction, or to become a victim or to complain and blame other people, I chose to let that truth, that reality, drive me in such a way that this feeling inside of me has never gone away.
Speaker 1:It's been 13 years now and I still wake up as fucking hungry and dedicated and obsessed and driven and excited and passionate than I was on day one. And, if anything, the momentum is growing greater and greater and greater with each passing day. I wake up and I'm more grateful than I was yesterday. I wake up and I'm more inspired. I wake up and I want to be even more fit, more jacked, I want to make more money. I want to help more people, I want to be a more dedicated father. I want to be more present. I want to be better in every way imaginable today than I was yesterday and that feeling never goes away because I'm still making up for lost time and I still got that chip on my shoulder.
Speaker 1:It's always a reminder of if I start to falter in these daily disciplines, if I lose focus, if I forget what my values are, if I get off track, if I lose focus, if I forget what my values are, if I get off track, if I'm not in alignment, I could jeopardize all this and I can be back to that rock bottom. I can be back to some horrific existence that's so painful. You know that you just want to end it all and almost just check yourself out Like I live that right. So your experiences might not be as severe or intense as mine, like the pain that I went through, but chances are, if you're somebody listening to this right now and you've listened to this whole episode all the way through you got some freaking trauma, you got some baggage, you got some suppressed emotion, you got some pain, you got some anger, you got some heartbreak, you got some sadness.
Speaker 1:What I will tell you is you, like an alchemist, you can take those negative experiences and that emotion that, if you're suppressing it right now, is going to hold you back and compromise you in life. You can learn to express it in such a way that it'll drive you to become the most incredible version of yourself you could ever fathom. You have to get obsessed, you have to get a little pissed off, you have to recognize that those things happen to you, but you're going to learn from them. You're not going to dwell on them. You're going to actually use those experiences to push you harder and further beyond any place in life you would have got otherwise. So, in fact, those mistakes, those things that you did wrong, those things that you look back and you get ashamed about or you feel angry about, those could become a catalyst in your life. Those memories, those emotions, those experiences, they could become a catalyst to fucking propel you into the most amazing life.
Speaker 1:All of your goals, like the best life experiences, into every moment that you have with loved ones, all your relationships, your health, your physique, like everything that you do, can now become exceptionally better if you take those experiences and channel that emotion and energy into the positive actions that you need to partake in day by day to improve the quality of your life. You have to get so focused on what you want out of this life so focused on those visions and images and that purpose in your heart that God has bestowed upon you. And you have to obsess over that vision. You have to take all that emotion and anger, frustration, those mistakes, those failures from the past and use them to drive you forward. And that's what I've been able to do, and for the last 13 years. Every day, I know why I get out of bed, I know where I'm going and I know what I gotta do to get there right. And that level of focus and attention on your personal development, on your business, on your relationships, on your life, it changes everything. It enhances every aspect of life that we want to experience.
Speaker 1:And what happens is you continue to push the past further behind you. I'll never forget about the past, but I'm not fucking dwelling on it. I'm not a victim of circumstance. I'm not complaining about it. I'm living the life that God dealt me, the cards that I was dealt, and I'm going to figure out a way to use them to my advantage. That's the difference between a winner and somebody who just gets defeated by life and complains about it every day until the day they die. What a horrible existence we're all made for. More we're all capable more. I figured it out through trial and error and through my life experience. Now it's up to you to figure it out for yourself. The only way you'll do that is by taking action and doing what I said Use your past mistakes and failures to drive you, to motivate you, to get you fired up and never look back.
