What we achieve in life begins with how big we think. When we talk about your success, it won’t be measured by how much money you make, or where you end up living, it will be measured by your thinking and if you achieved your ambition or not.

Momentum is the goal of all successful people, and they do their best to grow it to the full. When momentum can first be generated, that the chance to start building on it and leverage it.

1. Leverage

When you leverage making changes or making sacrifices, you can leverage building momentum. Momentum is the best friend of all successful people throughout the world.

To develop momentum initially is very difficult because you are starting from scratch. But, when you do eventually have momentum, it becomes a lot easier to keep it going and then build on it. When the hard work is done in developing momentum, that is the time to start leveraging it.

Don’t get stuck in the world of drifting when you first have momentum. Too many people think that when momentum is developed, then they can take it easy for a while. You need to do the opposite and keep building on that momentum through leverage.

There are different ways you can leverage momentum and in different areas. When people become successful in life they start to see more opportunities, have more confidence, feel more energetic and are surrounded by more people.

2. Motivation

When you feel good and are more energetic, it’s then that your motivation will grow to work on new things and new opportunities. Too many people take a step back or time away from their purpose when they have completed a specific task or project.

They feel it is time to celebrate or rest. Instead, use that newly found energy and motivation when completing a task, and put it into the next opportunity or task. This way you are keeping the momentum flowing and building upon it.

Is there something that you have been procrastinating on for a time, or is there something you have been worried to start that you know you need to? Put your energy into them and keep leveraging that momentum.

As you keep building on your momentum, your confidence will grow and continue to grow. Start to use your new levels of confidence to move into areas that you never thought possible before. As you do this you are moving beyond your comfort zone, and this is the only time you will grow.

Give something new a try and you will feel your confidence growing within yourself even more. The more success you have in different areas, the more confidence you will have.

3. Opportunities

Success breeds success and this will help you to start seeing things in your life differently. Give yourself a bit of time to think about other opportunities to try and continue to move forward.

People will start to notice you as you move forward. When you make things happen, you will start to draw attention to yourself. Most of the time the people who notice you will want to be a part of what you are doing and help you in some way. Or they will be looking to see if you can help them.

What usually happens naturally is they will help you and you will help them. But having the support from others will give you a lift. When you help others, that will also give you a lift. This attention and you helping others will only build upon and leverage the momentum you already have.

This will ultimately open even more opportunities for you which have the potential to bring you even more success. By acting on these new opportunities because of what you have already achieved, this again is leverage that was created by your momentum.

This will then lead to more people noticing you, more people talking about you and more people recommending you. These will be people who have the same beliefs as you do and have the same interests as you do.

So, if you don’t start working on yourself and your goal today, then where are you going to be a year from now? You have something you want to achieve in your life, there is something that you want to do. What are you waiting for?

When you create momentum and build upon it, it is difficult to get rid of or lose it. To get it going initially is very difficult, it will feel like you’re trying push a train uphill on your own. But, when you get the momentum moving, you will feel it growing.

To get momentum started will take a lot of energy from you in the beginning, but as you get stronger you won’t need as much energy.

The world’s most successful people deliberately create momentum in the beginning, and they never let it go. They keep that momentum going, just like a train does on its track.

4. Your “Why”

The most difficult part of deliberately growing is working out who you want to become and where you want to get to in your life.

This can be a struggle; I struggle with this, but I bring myself back to my “why” and the vision I set out for myself. In your life right now, you may be somewhere that you don’t feel you fit in, or you don’t belong there.

What you can’t do is remain there for the rest of your life. This is going to take change which can be difficult, and growth can be difficult, but it is necessary.

When you have your “why” and you have a clear vision, you can make the required sacrifices for that vision and move towards where you want to get to. It will take time, but it will be worth it.

The journey you are on will start with you, but it is not all about you. The journey you are on is about you helping others. As you start to help others and have a positive influence on their lives, this will again build momentum.

Helping others is the best way to leverage momentum and when doing this you will start to see momentum build in the lives of the people you help.

You will be able to positively influence the lives of the people you work alongside, your friends and your family. Your success will increase when you start helping others to become successful.

The most successful people in the world are those that help others to become successful. However, to help others become successful and value to their lives, you first must become successful and valuable. When you do this, you will know what it takes to get there and will be able to show people the way.

When you become a leader, your success is all about others and how you can help them to get to where they want. But first, you need to get to where you want to go.
