Happy Friday!
We’ve been out shopping all afternoon. New boots and a Christmas tree later, I’m a happy camper this afternoon. It was so nice getting to spend a day out and about with Shaun. We don’t do this often enough now that he’s in a serious relationship.
I wasn’t even going to send a newsletter today, but I didn’t want you to miss out on the daily deals just because I was out having fun.
And, I didn’t want to lose the momentum I’ve gained by doing daily newsletters either, just to have a day off. That’s what today’s read is all about… building momentum for your business…
Today’s Read: Tips and Tactics for Building Momentum in Your Business, Part 1
Momentum is a funny thing, and I have a really funny relationship with it. When I have to I can work and I can let the momentum build to the point where I’m almost overworked and on the point of burnout. And then I just stop. Emails don’t get written and products don’t get created and books don’t get published. And just like when I stop pedalling on the trainer to catch my breath, starting back up again is harder than if I’d just kept going and pedalling slowly. It’s the main reason that I try to at least get a newsletter out every day, whether I’m feeling like I have the energy for it or not.
And it’s the same for a lot of my friends. Once you stop doing something, the longer you wait to start up again, the harder it gets. So for today’s read (and tomorrow’s too) I’ve collected up some of my favorite tips for building momentum and keeping it going.
Momentum Builders:
- Take the first step. The kickoff of any project can be the most challenging stage. Give yourself credit for taking the initiative. You’re on your way to fulfilling your wishes. Even if you make a mistake, you can learn from it.
- Begin early. Use your morning hours wisely. Get at least one thing done before breakfast. You may sort through your emails or do a load of laundry in record time when interruptions are fewer. Most mornings, I don’t let myself have breakfast until the newsletter is done and published.
- Start strong. Generate multiple leads to fill up your pipeline. Get your lead magnet out there and working for you.
- Break projects down. Simplify complicated jobs. Whether you’re creating a book or a course, break your project into small doable steps.
- Aim for easy wins. Feel like you’re making progress by getting a few simple victories under your belt. It will inspire you to keep striving for more.
- Gather facts. Avoid delays due to uncertainty. Conduct the necessary research first. Browse online or ask coaches, colleagues, and mentors for the best resources. Reach out to experts to get their advice.
- Identify obstacles. Knowing what might trip you up allows you to plan for it and figure out a way around it.
That’s enough for tonight to get you started. I’ll share the rest of the list in tomorrow’s newsletter. For now, think about where you need to build momentum in your business and start planning out how you’re going to do that!
