ASKING AND ANSWER THE RIGHT QUESTIONS

Is there something you have always wanted to do? Maybe it’s a career change, a health and fitness transformation or a personal project or side business you want to start, but for some reason—whatever it is—you haven’t started yet. “Not enough time.” “Not enough resources.” “Not enough support.” Statements like these not only limit your potential but hinder your productivity. 

In order to find the time, the resources and the support you need, you first need to GET MOMENTUM. You need more than a little motivation. You need true forward movement. Momentum means you’re moving, and things are happening. It means you’re making progress, and it feels good!

Momentum is as personal in nature as it is different for everyone and for every project. What works for someone else may not work for you. The key is to practice thinking bigger and more creatively to put yourself in a position to move beyond the inertia that is holding you back from your dreams.

We believe that you can change your life by changing the information you let into your life. 

So if you have a goal in mind, it is important that you are asking and answering the right questions. We call these the Momentum Questions.

By committing to this process and digging deep, you will soon discover what momentum not only looks like but what it feels like. Here are the questions to ask yourself:

1. What do I want to be known for?
2.  Whom can I learn from?
3.  What are three specific sub-projects I can achieve?
4. What positive thing is happening that I can acknowledge?
5. What small change will I make next?

Answering these five questions makes it easier to decide what to take on, what to delegate, and what to say no to. Perhaps more importantly, when you lead from this reflective perspective, you demonstrate your commitment to be mission focused and values driven.
