You're listening to The Game Changer Life with Dave Anderson, the show about how to thrive, take charge of your mindset, and be unstoppable in business and all

aspects of your life. This is the Game Change Your Life podcast with Dave Anderson.

Welcome to Game Change Your Life. I'm Dave Anderson. In this episode, I want to talk about

make your own momentum. I mean, momentum is such a powerful thing. Now, it can work for you or against you. It's powerful either way. But when you have it, I mean, things are easier. And actually, it's a magnifier. Momentum can make you look better than you are, which is okay, because if you don't have it, it can make you look worse than you are. And if you don't have it, everything's a struggle. Everything's just harder than it should be.

So we're going to talk about some ways to make it, not to wait for it. Sometimes something will

happen good or bad beyond your control, okay, that'll either create positive or negative momentum.

But we don't want to wait for the positive. We want to do some intentional things to get it going for us. And if we already have it, how do you keep it going? You got to keep it going. It's always easier to keep going than it is to rediscover it. Now, if you look at the definition of momentum, and you know I'm partial to definitions, because it creates clarity, people say, Dave, why do you do so many definitions? It creates clarity, and I'm big on clarity.

It eliminates gray area.

So here's the definitions.

Momentum is strength or force gained by motion, important word, motion, not passivity,

not pondering, but motion, or by a series of events.

So it can be one thing, one decision, one change.

Okay, or it can be a number of things that either gets it going for you or against you.

And again, if you look at the definition, it doesn't talk about whether it's positive or negative.

It can work either way.

If you create the wrong motion, if the wrong series of events start to happen,

now you've got the stuff working against you, that force is working against you, and that's when

everything's harder. And if you do the right things and deliberate things, intentional things,

you start to create the right type of motion. And, you know, what's interesting is if you look at our

four groups of performers, the four groups of mindsets that we talk about in the book, Unstoppable.

And I talk about undertakers, caretakers, playmakers, and game changers.

And I talk about game changers more consistently bring eight key traits to the table.
