We all crave momentum. Rather we’re trying to lose weight, start a business, or remodel a house – if we just had enough momentum all our dreams would come true, right?
But what is momentum anyway? Well, by definition it is, The quantity of motion of a moving body, measured as a product of its mass and velocity. But how does that motion get started? Is it random? Something that just happens when the time is right?
I’m currently reading Dave Ramsey’s EntreLeadership book and he discusses the Momentum Theorem being: Fi/T(G) = M Focused intensity, over time, multiplied by God, equals unstoppable momentum. Unstoppable momentum! Isn’t that what we’re all looking for?? Dave goes in depth in breaking this down, I’ll paraphrase for you, but highly encourage you to read the book if you are a business owner/entrepreneur.
Focus: “Fear will cause you to lose focus every time because you are looking at all the potential for failure instead of concentrating on success” What we FOCUS on, we become.
Intensity: “Intensity moves things, makes things happen. Combine intensity with focus, and you are ready to start building momentum.” The key is to focus our intensity on the right things, and purposefully NOT be intense about the wrong things. It’s a waste of time to be intense about someone cutting us off in traffic, but if we put that intensity into our business, our marriage, and our kids – our life will have momentum!
Time: The one thing we all wish we could skip. Who has the patience for something taking time? Someone that’s willing to make sacrifices in order to LIVE their dreams. “Run the race in such a way as to win the prize.” This isn’t a sprint, the tortoise wins every single time. Slow and steady WILL win the race!
God: “Staying focused and intense over time will lead to good results. But it will wear you out. That’s when you just have to let things go-take that focused intensity over time and give it to God. When you do that, God steps into your effort and gives you energy and the ability to win.” You may not be a person of faith, I am. I can look back on my life and see that the most amazing things that happened, happened for “no reason”. It was out of my control, and I believe with all my heart that it was God that paved the way for everything I have, and continues to lead me to do great things. Does that mean it’s always easy? Definitely not. But I can always find strength and direction in Him.
Thank you revealing these kind of helpful information and facts. A person’s post The Secret To Momentum in Business and in Life | Hans Dirkse really aids me a whole lot. You can even examine this article too, should you not agree, additionally you can leave your remark.
Hi! You have done a wonderful job! I have added a link to your homepage on my website’s friends page. Hope this will help you to get more traffic.
This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.
Between me and my husband we’ve owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I’ve settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.
cool topic, very relevant now!
I don’t even know how I ended up here, but I thought this post was great. I don’t know who you are but certainly you’re going to a famous blogger if you are not already
Cheers!

The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod’s. It works well, but isn’t as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that’s not an issue, but if you’re planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod’s larger screen and better browser may be important.
Hi, i feel that i saw you visited my site so i got here to “go back the favor”.I’m attempting to to find issues to enhance my site!I suppose its adequate to use a few of your ideas!!
Hands down, Apple’s app store wins by a mile. It’s a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I’m not sure I’d want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.
nice work you’ve done. Nice content and i like spending 15 minutes a day reading all the new posts. Good job, thanx !!
F*ckinàawesome things here. I am very glad to see your post. Thank you so much and i’m having a look ahead to contact you. Will you kindly drop me a e-mail?
Just wanted to share with you, India has opened its $450 billion retail market place to worldwide supermarket giants, okaying its largest reform in a long time that may encourage sorely needed funds in Asia’s third-largest economy
I have been browsing on-line more than 3 hours as of late, but I by no means found any attention-grabbing article like yours. It’s pretty price sufficient for me. Personally, if all web owners and bloggers made excellent content as you probably did, the internet will probably be much more helpful than ever before. “No one has the right to destroy another person’s belief by demanding empirical evidence.” by Ann Landers.
You, my friend, ROCK! I found exactly the info I already searched everywhere and just could not locate it. What an ideal site.
Good website! I truly love how it is nice on my eyes it is. I am wondering how I might be notified whenever a new post has been made. I’ve subscribed to your feed which may do the trick? Have a nice day!
Some genuinely grand work on behalf of the owner of this website, perfectly great subject matter.
This site leaves a beneficial materials that might ‘t be disregarded especially it includes and reveals us yet another amount of remarkably exceptional impression.
Excellent web site. Plenty of useful info here. I am sending it to some friends ans also sharing in delicious. And of course, thanks for your sweat!
I have taken notice that in video cameras, extraordinary detectors help to focus automatically. Those sensors of some cameras change in in the area of contrast, while others employ a beam of infra-red (IR) light, specifically in low lighting. Higher spec cameras occasionally use a combination of both techniques and might have Face Priority AF where the photographic camera can ‘See’ a new face while keeping your focus only in that. Many thanks for sharing your ideas on this blog site.
