The Momentum Myth: Why Waiting for Motivation is Killing Your Dreams


Listen Later

Are you waiting to feel motivated before going after your dreams? If you are, here’s a spoiler: motivation isn’t coming. It doesn’t just show up out of nowhere like some magical spark. And if you’re holding off on taking action until you “feel ready,” you’re probably stuck right now.

 

The truth? Motivation is unreliable. Waiting for it could be killing at least one of your dreams or goals. So today, we’re going to talk about how to stop waiting for lightning to strike and instead create your own momentum.

 

I’ll share why action always beats motivation, the science that proves it, and give you practical steps to move forward even when you just don't feel like it. Let’s make this the day you stop waiting and start moving forward!
