What Is Momentum
I learned big time lately from my friend and business partner Tony Rush about What Is Momentum and What You Should Really Focus On (Hint: It’s not leads or sales)…
So… What if I told you that success in business is not about creating sales? Would that surprise you?
Success in business is about creating momentum. Increased sales are the EFFECT of that.
What Is Momentum?
The thing that causes your sales to increase is the MOMENTUM you create as a result of daily, consistent action steps…
Every time…
- you run an ad…
- you send out an email broadcast…
- you do a team call…
- you attend a training call…
- Every step you take toward developing new skills…Every effort you take to overcome a bad habit…
- you stay up a bit later or get to work a bit earlier…….
….you’re adding to your momentum.
The opposite is also true.
Every time…
- you decide not to attend a training call…
- Or say, “I’ll buy those products when I’m making more money…
- “Or give yourself permission to skip a live video stream…
- you let a disappointment get the best of you…
- you focus more on your fears than your goals…
- you let shyness or fear overcome you….
…your momentum goes into decline.
If you do enough right things, the right way with the right attitude on a consistent daily basis….your success is not only guaranteed: it’s almost AUTOMATIC.
Whether you made sales this week or not doesn’t matter. What matters is that your momentum increases this week.
If your momentum continues to increase, then over time, your sales volume and your income will increase accordingly.
How To Establish Your Momentum
When you start a business, you have zero momentum.
From that point on, every thing you do will either be adding to or taking away from your momentum.
Put another way: the only way to change your life is to change the things that you do on a daily basis. Changing the things you do sporadically don’t have much effect.
The only way to become good at something is to do it every day. The more you do it, the more proficient you will become. And the more proficient you become, the more exciting your results will be.
How quickly you get there doesn’t matter. All that matters is getting there!
Will it always be easy? Depends on how you look at it. Yes, you will run an ad that will bomb. Yes, you will have someone say they’re getting started who fades away and you never hear from them again.
That’s why it’s so important to make a commitment to show up every day in your business, doing the SAME things that the leaders do. Without the structure of discipline, it’s easy to let a unique opportunity like Empower Network slip through your fingers…
What Is Momentum
To establish momentum, you practice new skills. To sustain that momentum, you apply them consistently with a DMO (Daily Method of Operation).
Your DMO is a personally designed system of daily activities which, when followed consistently, will lead to significant progress.
Whether your DMO requires you to make one sale or ten….or run three ads or five ads…it doesn’t matter initially. You can (and will) tweak things as you move along. But it’s important that you set a benchmark and hit your targets regularly.
The magic is in repeating those steps day in and day out.
What Is Momentum
Consistency is one of the major keys to success.
To operate your DMO consistently, you cannot operate your DMO around your life. You must learn to operate your life around your DMO.
It may mean sitting your family down and saying, “Hey, I’ve started a new business that’s going to let us have a lot more free time as a family. But, right now, that means that I’m going to be on the phone a little bit more than I normally am. And I want you guys to understand that I’m doing it for us as a family.”
It may mean that you say, “I love bowling. But I love financial independence more right now. So, I’m willing to take a break from bowling twice a week and just bowl once on weekends so I can work my business.”
Understand these are choices and decisions that YOU can make. No one is making them for you. But, understand that a large change in your life will require you to make some changes in how you spend your time and energy.
And if you’re not willing to let your life be changed by your DMO….then you should be aware that you’re putting conditions on your success.
Advancing Your Momentum
Here’s the exciting thing about momentum: once you get it going in a positive direction by using a little discipline and then making it fun….and once you’ve learned to keep it going by developing consistency….
….you don’t have to worry about how to advance your momentum. It’s automatic!
Momentum is like the snowflake that becomes an avalanche.
It takes time and effort to gather together enough snowflakes to make a snowball. It takes time and effort to get it rolling steadily down the hill.
But once it gets rolling, there’s no stopping it!
It’ll keep rolling and rolling, growing and growing and it will knock over anyone or anything that makes the mistake of getting in its way.
It takes effort (and it may take time) to get a business up and running. But once it’s running, the only thing that can stop it is you!
So, unless YOU pull back on the throttle by not showing up….
Unless YOU put your foot your foot on the brake by not doing your DMO….
Unless YOU push the steering wheel in the wrong direction by not following the system…
….your business is going to continue to grow in momentum every day, and then your income will, too.
- You won’t have to worry about how to get more people to buy. It’s automatic.
- You won’t have to worry about how to find new and exciting leaders. It’s automatic.
- You won’t have to worry about how to get your team excited. It’s automatic.
- You won’t have to worry about whether you’ve got money coming in. It’s automatic.
