Momentum................... Just wrote this for one of my teams...This is long but I thought it was worth putting in here! In the last hour I have had 3 people ask me why some people move and why some dont in networking. This might help Excuse the typos LOL David Byrd .. such an inspiration! Momentum is not a stand alone circumstance. It does not exist by its self...something creates it. It comes from somewhere. Its like a car with no gas, it might look pretty but if it doesnt have gas, it aint going anywhere. Some of u feel that way right? Lol u might have the best product in the world but it wont move no matter what unless u have momentum. To create the momentum that actually goes somewhere, its made up of 3 different components. If u can learn how to sustain momentum in ur life, u have great accomplishment and achievement ahead for u. If u can learn how to get it back after u lose it, that is HUGE! Its easy to lose ur momentum. But if u knew how to recreate it, that would be super valuable right? So momentum is not a stand alone circumstance....something created it. The 1 thing that created ur momentum is the component of focus. When u get focused on something, u will achieve it.... u ALWAYS accomplish what u focus on. That is SO IMPORTANT!! U always accomplish what u focus on! You’ll never get to the momentum in ur life or business unless u become focused ON WHAT U WANT. The clearer u can make that focus, the better off u are. Interesting thing about focus... where does it come from? Its not a stand alone either. U cant just all of a sudden get focused. “OK ill go get me some focus now” lol doesn’t work that way! Something creates focus. And the component that creates ur focus is clarity. Being clear. The clearer u are on what u are focusing on, the clearer the focus the greater the momentum. Now clarity is an interesting thing. You cant achieve anything that you CANT SEE in ur head. You know why some people go and reinvent the wheel? Because they have NO IDEA what works even when someone tells them. They cant see that far down the rabbit hole. Save urself the misery and go with the system whether u believe it or not. Do it over and over till it becomes 2nd nature. Because once u start doing it, seeing the truth, u will start doing it over and over again there for starting the mix to be successful! When ur organization becomes clear on what to do, then the focus begins to happen...focus leads to momentum. But the BEGINNING of all momentum is PRO active Thoughts and Plans! We have heard for years that positive attitude is the ticket, & im not arguing with that or saying its not....but I am saying that it doesnt go far enough. You have to deal with ur perspective the way ur seeing life. Everyone reading this, is biased from everything that has happened in ur life.. ur relationships, ur career, ur experiences, its a bias from which we judge EVERYTHING... we view life through this prism, this bias prism. Interesting thing about it is, there arent thousands of biass to view life from.. there is only 2. u only have 2 that u view life from..... 1 = is a reactive perspective. 2 is a pro active perspective. I know some of u are thinking, naaaaaaaaaaaa im neither one of those, im kinda in the middle.... theres no such thing as an in-between bias, ur either 1 or 2. Now u can switch back and forth of course... but when we approach life, we approach through our perspective bias. If we are reactive what happens is, we respond according to what happened to us. Something happens to us, if its good we are happy and if its bad were sad. That’s a reactive bias. A pro active bias is a system that is driven from a system of personal management that causes u to think related to anything that happens to u “OK it is what it is, what can I do about it”. Another words, pro active about what ur gonna do opposed to reactive about how it makes u feel. We all have feelings but the most important thing to realize is when ur pro active, you don’t LIVE in ur feelings. Because what happens is, when we have an reactive prospective towards life, something bad happens to us, we react with the way we feel about it. And if we aren’t aware of what we are doing, we start doing it all the time, and next thing we know, our feelings become the circumstance. Any psychologist will tell u, u cant move ur way from feeling to actions.. u can only feel ur way to ur actions. Sometimes people are so deeply involved in their feelings, they cant get out of it. Pro active thought is the ticket out. Reactive is the most instinctual. If u don’t have a system of personal management u WILL BE reactive toward ur feelings. So to maintain a proactive perspective u have to have a management that lifts u above ur human instinct. Instinctively u will not move forward. Why?? Because ur natural human instincts are designed to keep u safe. And instinctively we associate sameness as security. So if ur responding reactivly to life, life will throw u curve balls, you’ll respond with ur feelings, and u got no way of getting out of it. On the other hand, pro active thought.... u have a system of personal management, next month, next week, next year, 5 years from now.... plan tomorrow before tomorrow begins. Thats a crazy habit, why do I do that? Because it requires pro active thought!!! And if u are pro active u cant possibly be reactive. So pro active thoughts are the beginning stages of ANY momentum u will ever have in ur life : ) Its never about luck... its about certain steps being taken to get where u want to go. Keep pro active thought moving all the time in your mind! RAISE UR LID on a constant basis. Net-workers are so good at this because we have been drilled this for YEARS!! The ones of u that are new at this, don’t beat urself up for not knowing how to create the momentum in ur space.. it takes learning and constant stretching! When u start measuring this week to how effective u were last week on the activities required for u to hit ur goals, that’s when u start to really see. Being spontaneous is wonderful, its one of the things I thank God for daily...but if I am not being pro active about my future, that focus will never show up! Once u are clear about the right steps to take, then u become laser focused on what u want, ur dreams and ur goals. What if u lose ur momentum, can u go back to focus? Can u go back to clarity? No they are both by products.... u go back to the system of pro active thoughts and plans. If u can see it, u can believe it. And that clarity leads to focus and once u have that focus, nothing can stop the momentum u can build.
