Losing momentum? Oh my God. You'll see people that have momentum in their business and they'll have momentum in their podcast. They'll have momentum in what they're doing and they're thinking this thing's gonna go on its own and they'll let it go. You'll see people that are having momentum and all of a sudden there's one setback. Oh my God, it's not working out. They're out. Too often people take momentum for granted and when they do, they lose what they have. Whether you're an executive helping grow a company that you have, you know, participation in the upside of the company, whether you're the founder, whether you're building a podcast, whether you're doing a show, whether you're doing anything, the moment you become arrogant with momentum, she leaves you for someone else.
I love it. It's a deep way to talk about keeping your head on a swivel and expect change. I love it.
