Momentum - How to Avoid Going in...

Sam Silverstein

Momentum is magnetic. People want to be with, work with, and build relationships with people who have momentum. But what is it, exactly? Renowned author, speaker, consultant, and coach Sam Silverstein has the surprising answer. Momentum is constant, conscious movement toward your goal that is in alignment with your purpose and mission. This goal is always connected with what we are called to do in the service of others.
Have you ever experienced a person who makes constant, relentless advancement in everything they do? Someone who seemed to have boundless energy, endless resourcefulness, and lasting influence? Did you ever wonder how they made their success happen? Is there anywhere in your life where you feel bogged down, plateaued, or held back—where you wish you could flip an invisible switch, and make great things happen fast?
You can…by harnessing the power of Momentum.
According to Silverstein, when we choose to live a life where anything is possible by taking on a “we-focused” mindset, we revolutionize the way we think and the results we achieve. We anchor our beliefs in the fundamental truth that literally any event is taking place for our benefit and the benefit of others. Our influence widens; our positive impact on the wider world accelerates and becomes increasingly impossible to ignore. That is Momentum.
Silverstein’s energizing, accessible new work shows you how to master the art of creating Momentum and eliminate the possibility of getting stuck in a rut because of indecision, indifference, compliance, or fear.
Silverstein shows you how to identify what you should be acting on and create continuous progress on your goals and in your life. You will attract others to your mission, and you will create transformative influence in the events you encounter and the lives of the people around you.
