I just wanted to clear up a misconception about the term “momentum.” It is a really, really, absolutely, vitally important concept to understand. If you have the luxury of time, and are in a position where you are going to have to pay someone to do something, momentum is everything. Sure, sometimes you have to ask for someone else to do something you need them to do, but momentum is important to your financial and personal success.
In my opinion, momentum is everything. When you’re trying to get something done, you don’t really have any choice but to rely on momentum. It’s just how your body works. So when you have momentum that is being used in a way that isn’t expected (i.e. not as a part of the plan), that is momentum. And momentum is important.
I have this idea that when you have momentum you are able to go faster, and be more efficient than someone who has no momentum. The problem is that in the modern day we have a lot of momentum, but we are not efficient enough to use it in the way we might use it, like in an industry, or in the way we use it in a business. We just get frustrated and do something else. I think this is why a lot of us use a lot of shortcuts.
The reason why I’m thinking of momentum is because I’ve been in this industry for 20 years already. I don’t have any momentum anymore, and I do have a lot more time for it, and I’m not in the company anymore.
In the past, companies used to have more momentum than they do now, but we have gotten more efficient. Now most companies are like, “we know we can do this, we just don’t have the time” and they are still not efficient, they are still not efficient enough to use it to their advantage. That is why I find I have a lot of trouble when I hear people talk about momentum.
I understand the impulse is to become super stupid to get good at something so I can get good at something. But if you want to become super smart, and you want to become fast, you need to be super smart to be super fast.
Momentum is the feeling that you have when you are doing something hard. The more you do it, the faster you get better, and until you get to that point, you can never get to that point. The best way to know when you’re getting there is to do it again.
It’s hard to make up your mind whether the first attempt works or not. But you’re better off making the correct decision. If you want to go from one attempt to the next, you need to do it as fast as possible.
I think this is especially true when it comes to making your own decisions. We all have moments where we want to do something, but we just don’t know how to make it happen. We often feel like we just can’t do it, but we can.
No. We don’t. The problem is to make sure we succeed, and that we succeed in making it as easy as possible for others. So maybe it’s a little like saying you just hit the bottle when you hit the nail on the head. However it’s actually better to do it the right way. For example, if you want to kill your own daughter, that’s something you can do with your own instinct.
