The Cycle We Fall Into Here’s the cycle most entrepreneurs fall into:They get a spark of inspiration → sprint hard for a few days or weeks → get distracted, lose steam → and eventually abandon it. Then the next shiny idea shows up, and the cycle repeats. Sound familiar? The truth is, most of us don’t fail because our ideas are bad. We fail because we don’t know how to keep momentum alive long enough to actually finish. Bad Patterns I saw this same pattern play out on a massive scale when I was an executive producer at one of the big 3 software companies. I managed teams of over 80 programmers, artists, and designers, plus 40–60 QA testers. Huge budgets. Huge projects. Here’s how their cycle looked before I stepped in: - The first few months? Everyone coasted, treating it like a vacation. - Midway through? A little progress, but not much. - The last 6 months? Pure panic. People pulled 100-hour weeks trying to make up for lost time. The result? Burnout. Frustration. And products that launched at lower quality than they should have. Why? Because momentum was lost early, and the only solution was to brute-force at the end. That’s exactly the same cycle most entrepreneurs fall into — just on a bigger budget. The Shift (Consistency Wins) When I came in, I introduced a system of consistent, measurable progress — the Scrum framework. Instead of feast-or-famine chaos, we moved to daily rhythm and accountability. The change was massive: - Teams delivered on time. - Quality skyrocketed. - And people had a life outside of work. That’s what momentum really is: not killing yourself in panic mode, but building steady progress every day. The Framework Intro And that’s exactly what we’re going to do here inside Momentum Lab. We use a simple framework: - Build: Wherever you’re starting — zero, half-built, or nearly done — we break down the steps that get you to the finish line. - Finish: You decide what ‘done’ means. Maybe it’s an MVP. Maybe it’s a version you can show friends and family. Maybe it’s ready for public launch — app store, website, product on shelves. Whatever your finish is, we’ll map the path to get there. - Scale: Once you’ve finished, we grow it — putting it into the market, gathering traction, and expanding results.
