👊 Breakthrough Wednesday — What's In Your Way?

Just had our Breakthrough Wednesday call inside The Momentum Lab.

And here's the thing...

Momentum without obstacles doesn't need a program. We're here because things get hard.

Something came up on today's call that I want to name directly, because I think more than one of you is dealing with it:

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗸 𝗶𝘀𝗻'𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂'𝗿𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴. 𝗜𝘁'𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂'𝗿𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴.

This shows up in a lot of different ways.

For some of you, it's planning instead of doing — mapping out a whole system when the real next step is one conversation.

For others, it's researching instead of deciding — spending hours evaluating options because committing to one feels risky.

For some, it's doing the tasks you're already good at instead of the one that scares you.

And for a few of you, it's avoiding a hard conversation — with a client, a partner, or yourself — by staying busy with something easier.

None of that work is useless. But if it's replacing the thing you committed to on Monday, it's not momentum. It's a detour that feels like progress.

This week, I want you to be brutally honest with yourself.

Drop a comment:

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗸 𝗜'𝗺 𝗵𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗶𝘀:
𝗜'𝘃𝗲 𝗮𝗹𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆 𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗱:
𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗜 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝗺𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 (𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲𝗻'𝘁 𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗱 𝘆𝗲𝘁):

And if you're brave enough — answer this too:

𝗜𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗜'𝗺 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗻 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗜 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗼𝗻 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘆, 𝗼𝗿 𝗱𝗶𝗱 𝗜 𝘀𝘄𝗮𝗽 𝗶𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝘀 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗮 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻?

If you were on today's call, you already know the answer. If you weren't, this is your moment to check yourself before Friday.
