This article is important to those who want to achieve great things.
Any successful athlete will tell you how important momentum is in ther training. Consistency, focus, momentum – you can’t serve two masters,
“because you will love the one and despise the other”.
Compromise and distraction, laziness and pride all decrease momentum. An aircraft requires 95% of it’s power to ascend, but only 65% while cruising.
Build Momentum to Build Real Wealth
Many so-called “entrepreneurs” spend their time swinging between feast and famine, chicken and feathers. They spend their money in the good times and suffer in the bad times, forgetting that business is cyclical.
Joan Welsh said,
“If you’re coasting, you’re either losing momentum or else you’re headed downhill.”
In order to build real wealth and get to a place where you can cruise, you have to build momentum in the right areas.
Business Is A Relationship With Money
Anthony Robbins said,
“The most important thing you can do to achieve your goals is to make sure that as soon as you set them, you immediately begin to create momentum. The most important rules that I ever adopted to help me in achieving my goals were those I learned from a very successful man who taught me to first write down the goal, and then to never leave the site of setting a goal without first taking some form of positive action toward its attainment.”
And you have to keep on taking that positive action. Business is a relationship with money, just like your relationship with your spouse – remember that.
Build A Bullet-Proof Mindset
At any given point in your day, on a regular basis, ask yourself,
“Is what I am doing now taking me towards my goal or away from it? What is the return on investment from this choice?”
It’s sad to see many people join DollarMakers and take off in a flurry of promises and activity, and then to see them quit at the first sign of difficulty. Others get overconfident and sit back, riding on the backs of others, and before they know it, they’re cut loose.
The smart ones build a bullet-proof mindset and are consistent, disciplined, focused, and reliable. They build relationship and momentum, and they get rich.
Time – Your Most Valuable Resource
Michael Korda said,
“One way to keep momentum going is to have constantly greater goals.”
By building relationships with strong entrepreneurs whose goals are aligned with yours and with whom you have “overlap”, you will find yourself staying on track.
Once you lose momentum, it’s hard to build it again, especially since one often loses credibility in the process, and that diminishes trust and closes previously open doors.
Sporadic, emotional bursts of ego-driven activity seldom achieve long-term results. You can’t chase two rabbits or ride two bicycles.
Manage your time carefully – it’s your most valuable resource.
Consistency and Momentum - The Essential Components of Success.
Set your goals and action plans carefully, remain flexible, continue to add income streams and dollarmakers, and remember who your friends are.
Consistency and momentum are not options – they are essential components of success.
Winners hang in there through the tough times, make the hard choices, apply self-discipline, and get rich.
