THE SECRET TO BUILDING (+ KEEPING) MOMENTUM
In 2014 I operated in a very clear pattern of start – stop – start – stop – start (oh hey, #bizpuberty).
It all worked out in the end (with plenty of great lessons), but it was exhausting and a bit too dramatic for my taste.
While taking my little man for a spin the other day I had a *mega* AHA moment that helped me reframe the hare-like habits of old – helping me see why it is SO important to slow it down and get my tortoise on.
If you’ve had a hard time keeping a steady pace in your business lately, you’re gonna like this one.
In this video, you’ll learn:
- How running a business is like riding a (Ninja Turtle) bike
- What I did to get my productive mojo back after various funks
- How to come to terms with your own creative seasons (without losing momentum)

IN A (COCO)NUT SHELL
There’s no denying it: Progress feels GOOD.
When we don’t take steps toward something that we want – we fizzle.
We feel aimless because we ARE aimless.
When we remind ourselves where we’re headed (i.e. look up!), it’s SO much easier to keep moving.
If you’ve lost your momentum (+ that productive feelin’), here’s how to get back on track:
1. Choose ONE project you’d like to complete (or one goal you’d like to meet) in the next week (or month).
2. Break that baby DOWN into bite-sized action items. We’re talkin’ teeny tiny.
3. Commit to doing at least ONE of those items today. (And have a couple backups ready in case you’re on a roll.)
Example: Michael Hyatt openly shares how he faced serious resistance when it was time to write one of his books. Like a (productive!) pro, he maintained momentum by taking baby steps. Literally – one day all he did was create a new document for each chapter of the book – “Chapter 1” – SAVE. “Chapter 2” – SAVE. etc. (It eventually became a best-seller.) BOOM.
Get the point here, friend?
SPOILER ALERT: The tortoise WINS. (Tweet that!)
Stay focused and run (or walk!) your race. You’ve got this.
