‍

Over the past decade — from flying helicopters in remote mountains to building a business from scratch — I’ve learned that momentum doesn’t come from doing more.‍

‍

It comes from shifting how you move through challenges.

‍

Here are the three shifts that shape everything I teach and live by:

1. From Obstacles → Outcomes
   Every challenge holds a clue to your next opportunity. Instead of asking, “Why is this happening to me?” ask, “What can this teach me?”
   Progress begins when you see the obstacle as the lesson.
   
   
2. From Chaos → Consistency
   Momentum isn’t built in bursts — it’s built through rhythm.
   Systems, habits, and structure create space for creativity and clarity. Small daily actions done well will always beat big, inconsistent sprints.
   
   
3. From Uncertainty → Unstoppable
   Clarity doesn’t come before movement — it comes from it.
   When things feel unclear, the best move is a small one forward. Each tiny action compounds into confidence and progress.
   
   

If you’re feeling stuck or scattered this week, try applying just one of these.

Momentum isn’t about speed — it’s about direction.

Conclusion

Next week, this newsletter will look and feel a little different - along with being dropped on Mondays instead of our usual Tuesdays. 

‍

For what we call Momentum Mondays! 

‍

Same writer, same mission — but a new name and a bigger vision: The Shift.

‍

It’s all about turning challenges into opportunities and building unstoppable forward motion — in work, business, and life.

See you next Monday for the next chapter.
