Momentum is an incredibly overlooked tool of personal and professional experience. It enhances you, and it serves as a natural propulsion lifting everyone around you. 

It feels phenomenal when you’re in the midst of it - the wind is at your back, and you feel pulled forward…almost as if, by accident.

But momentum is not an accident, and its creation is the stuff that makes top performers sail, and leaves us exhilarated and excited - feeling like we have the “golden touch” and can take on the world. 

The mistake that most people make is thinking momentum is like a wave that comes from the sea and is out of your control - but that is not how those at the top think about it. 

I frequently have conversations with executives, founders, or CEOs who understand the importance and actionable nature of it, and as one client said, “I create momentum, I don’t wait for it.”

Love this week’s edition of Ultra Successful? Don’t forget to tweet about it.

Momentum is not what you think. It’s complex, nuanced, and a fun strategic play that most people will miss because it relies on something that goes against our nature -you’ll see why as you read below.

This is about not waiting for momentum, creating your own wave, and building a groundswell of force that will catapult you into the next level of building.
