Keep Momentum is my personal little story to you, based upon my own experiences.
I used to repeat this to myself out loud, “Keep Momentum!”… Momentum was the driving force that gave me increased energy for reaching my goals fast.
Some time ago, 6 months plus, my motivation for sitting in front of the computer stopped.
Sure it was summer and I love the outdoors and all but when night came I didn’t fire up either the laptop or the pc to get stuff done.
Emails and Facebook got checked on daily basis if i was home. “Sleeping brain symptom” you might wanna call it.
Been ages since I have written any blog posts also.

So what happened with my momentum?
I had worked a lot of hours since 2009 to be exact and needed a longer break from the usual.
My head was not in focus and needed to clear the clogged up channels within the information center of our body.
During the time away the need for nature was great. So hiking and exploring,travelling and various sports was in tune.
Still… I thought(!) I was working(…) for a while even though all I did was to keep up with the Jones’s of marketing… Reading emails is NOT doing efficient tasks that will propel your business forward. Making stuff to sell, taking action and promoting + scaling is what get real results that are measurable.
Text day in and day out, just input… won’t cut it. That’s what I figured at least. Again.
Earlier before getting traction in the business, I studied heavily how to alter my mind with meditation techniques and such to align myself into a healthier and wealthier mindset.
Momentum was mentioned many times. Alas…
At some point I stopped and it faded.
So the lesson was clear:
My mindset was good.
But it was not “sticky” enough for me to hold.
My old paradigms took over and made me less structured, less business focused and put me on a sort of a vacation basically.
When I started getting back into rhythm, the sufferings of bad conscious was all over me. I felt I had let myself and my fellow marketers down.
I can get kinda emotional about the work when the times are tough. Still I will never let it beat me.
So anyways the ride took me through some emotional moments and I figured out when I was at my desk by the pc again that this could not happen again.
I can take breaks and vacations alright. But I cannot evade from who I am. Who I have become.
The need to check in and do stuff on a regular basis will always be there. Just like when we read a good book. You will always learn more and read another one. And you should!
Join us and many others and give yourself traffic numbers you can measure to succeeed with performance marketing.
Keep momentum and you will grow.
Stop that momentum… Just for a day and you are set back a day or two.
Wait six months and you gotta rethink you whole business.
Perhaps the ultimate would be for anyone to find out their individual limit as to what is their threshold before stress.
We are not equal in every aspect of life… I think we can all suffer from a burnt out mind/body.
Be healthy. Meditate. Grow momentum.
And the ultimate lesson for me was that I could not let the momentum i had built, fade away.
Keep momentum and keep sanity 😉 Oh, and make money!
