Momentum Creates Success
I’ve been learning to surf on and off now for about 2 years.
I love being in the water but haven’t been able to commit to the consistency because of a few pesky injuries.
The last 6 months my body has been feeling really strong and fit and I’ve committed to consistently just getting out in the water and practicing.
No stress or frustration about the outcome. I don’t care whether I catch 1 wave or 10. I don’t care whether I fall off or stand up.
Just committed to the process of practicing, being the learner & enjoying the journey.
And this morning a bunch of stuff just clicked. And it became really fun.
I’m by no means a pro surfer or catching 6 foot barrels 😂 But I could really see the compounding effects of just turning up every day and putting the work in.
The same is true for business.
We often want the outcome to be immediate or that any effort we put in will be guaranteed to pay off.
Unfortunately neither is true for business.
We put so much pressure on ourselves for things to happen quickly or for things to just work right away - that when they don’t, we get discouraged, lose interest and move onto the next bright and shiny thing we think will guarantee success.
We often forget that everything in life is a journey and that success is never guaranteed.
But what is guaranteed is that if you turn up every day and do the small things consistently - over a period of time you will build momentum.
And momentum is the precursor to success.
Action beats intention - always.
So make the commitment to turn up every day and take the action on the small things required to build a successful business, and one day - things will just ‘click’.
