definition: the impetus(force) gained by a moving object
Problem: Most people don’t get things done or start/stop
Story: Living with a friend & schedule days to prospect. Got momentum, then stopped.
- Hard to get back
Story 2: Facebook ads were going, I had to stop to change the website & didn’t start until two months later
- Made excuses about ‘creating content’
Momentum makes you an unstoppable force
- Makes you obsessed by generating thoughts because you have to keep up
- Sense of urgency
- You get excited and feel like you can (and should) do more
I went out for walks and felt hyped because of the energy a walk creates
I did weekly calls and got hyped at the end of the calls on Sundays to keep working
E=mc2 … energy becomes mass
- I don’t care if it’s not true, let me believe in Santa Claus
- Under the right conditions, energy can become mass and vice versa
- The energy you have, actively creates something physical
- Ex: Thoughts in my head became a book on restaurant magic
- It never existed, until it did
Get into the habit of making decisions
- You won’t make ‘right’ decisions all the time
- Think ‘speed’ first. Then worry about being ‘right’ later
- You can fix wrong decisions
- But you’re stuck if no decision has been made
Excuses & reasons destroy momentum
- PT Barnum didn’t have the money to buy Joice Heth but figured it out
- He committed and figured it out later. NO EXCUSES MODE
- Momentum makes you commit and figure it out later
- Iterate your way to success
- People say ‘it’s about quality’ or ‘do it right the first time’ so nothing happens in their life
Momentum is created when you feel like you’re on a mission
- People say ‘set goals’ because you’re on a mission
Just get out there and do something
definition: the impetus(force) gained by a moving object
- BECOME the moving object that turns ideas into reality through practical execution
