Momentum is the rhythm or the tempo at which everyone pace us at getting things done.
This momentum is something which is crucial yet mostly being overlooked by majority of us as we work towards success.
Success is a sum of all previous experiences learn from mistakes, advices from mentors, advisers, coach, and consultants in various fields that each of us have encountered in the quest to reach the finishing line at the top.
Momentum is important, mostly remembered by athletics because they need to maintain their momentum to maintain either their leading and current position to prevent rivals from overtaking. The same goes to business and any other employments; it’s unanimous across all variations of employments.
Once you identified your own pace, you should follow it, get used to the pace, and improve on your pace to out-run the competitor just ahead of you. A method which I previously used in running back in the school days was to use my closest competitor within my vision and doing whatever it takes to get used to the pace of my competitor and storing energy at the last hundred to two hundred meters towards the goal for the final burst catching them off guard.
Discipline, determination and perseverance is needed to maintain, your momentum.
To ensure success, the other trick which is used sometimes to catch competitors who are hot on your tails are to set a below average pace for them to follow you letting them getting used to the pace which you have set, once any competitor serves as your highest risk of overtaking your preferred pace then only reveal your actual own pace when should be your own pace sufficiently to win, don’t reveal your true potential to your competitors so you will always maintain a hidden winning formula or deep storage of energy required to take your competitors by surprise.
Don’t always surprise your competitors using the above strategy else they will put you on their highest priority to over-take increasing your competition which is why in business benchmarking is always seen in advertising campaigns, just doing what is sufficient to out-run the closest competitor to clinch the championship.
Here’s a real –life example in the music industry: Jay Chou, who was introduced into the Taiwan music industry by his buddy. Taking the music industry by storm, creating a tornado effect by releasing self-written, recorded songs all done by him in a matter of months. With more than a few albums released in a matter of months, all done by him personally, he soon became the musical talent and the leader with huge fans. Do it once, do it right, and revert back to the market practice by releasing an album each year is sufficient to maintain his lead to date.
In the process of it, by showcasing his talents in music, he not only open doors to music, but also he talent in most of the musical instruments which was being forced to picked up by his mom since he was young (correct me if I’m wrong on this). With his success, album has being written to thanks his mom for the hard learning curve since young.
With that, it’s time for you to start identifying you own pace, set the momentum and test run it until you succeed in your field.
