The power of momentum

Momentum is going in a given direction picking up steam along the way. The more steam you pick up the faster you go and the more “momentum” you have to get you where you’re going.

In sports, coaches really pay attention to momentum. An interception in football can literally change the entire game. What’s amazing about momentum is the opposite reaction you can have to it.

If you’re in a football game and working the ball down the field getting closer and closer to a score you’re picking up momentum.

BUT, an interception comes along and all of a sudden “the momentum” is gone.

That’s what it’s like to pay off your bills, to pay them down at an accelerated pace. You get momentum going and you sort of get on a “roll” paying off one credit card, then another, then still another.

There’s something powerful about momentum.

Today’s lesson is to maintain that momentum no matter who comes a long to muck it up for you. Keep going because when you score NO DEBT you have an instant raise, instant peace of mind, and instant rewards because you’ll be able to do what your friends, family and co-workers can’t.

If you’ll do what no one else will do now, you’ll be able to do what no one else can do later. A saying, paraphrased by Dave Ramsey.

Now, go get the momentum.
