In this episode, I want to change the way you look at momentum.
Most people think momentum is either luck or a formula—but it’s neither. Momentum is an art. And once you see it that way, you realize it’s controllable, even though it’s built on a lot of intangibles you can’t always measure or explain.
In this conversation, I break down how momentum is something you shape and create over time—and why that mindset keeps you out of a victim mentality. Because momentum is deceptive: you don’t know when it’s going to kick in and start working for you, and by the time you realize you’ve lost it, it’s already been gone for a while.
If you’ve ever felt stuck, frustrated, or like things should be working by now, this episode will help you see momentum—and your role in it—completely differently.
