Building a lifestyle is harder than building momentum
One thing I’ve been reflecting on lately is how many people are great at starting (myself inclusive)— but quietly struggle with sustaining. Momentum is without any doubt exciting. Lifestyle is however quieter. Momentum thrives on urgency, novelty, and push. Lifestyle on the otherhand I would say is built on rhythm, meaning, and permission to slow down. I’ve also noticed that when people try to build businesses, communities, or personal brands purely on momentum, burnout isn’t a surprise and it’s almost inevitable. The turning point often comes when the question shifts from:“How do I grow faster?”to:“How do I build something I can actually live inside?” That change seems to affect everything including our consistency, creativity, relationships, even health. I am just curious how others here think about this: So my question is 'What helped you move from chasing momentum to building a lifestyle that feels sustainable?

@Michelle Langley This indeed resonates. Let me also add that I had to unlearn chasing momentum for its own sake. What changed things for me was designing around what I could sustain on an ordinary week—not what I could push through in a peak one. Once I shifted success from speed to steadiness, everything became quieter, healthier, and more consistent. I have been practicing this for awhile now and honestly I am glad I did. Thanks for the engagement
Beyond the 500-character description
I’m curious how others are handling this. I have a few buy-now resources inside my community, but the 500-character product description feels limiting for the full transformation I want to communicate. Are you still relying on those short descriptions, or using other ways to sell inside your group? Posts, pinned threads, walkthroughs, challenges, something else? Would love to hear what’s actually working for you.

Well, I would say in my experience, real transformation rarely lands through a description alone, no matter how well written. Usually, short product descriptions can inform, but they don’t contain the journey people are being invited into. What’s worked better for me is letting the transformation be experienced inside the community before it’s ever “sold”: For instance, I often make reflective posts that mirror people’s inner experience or just a short walkthrough videos explaining the why behind the structure In mental health and recovery work (my field of work), people commit when they feel safe and understood and not when they’re convinced. The product description then becomes a reference point, and not necessarily the primary driver. I hope this helps. Merry Christmas and happy holidays
The Giving Games [Episode 1]
What if giving away free stuff works better than running ads? Last month we tested it at Venice Beach. Gave away skateboards and meals to people experiencing homelessness. Just to see. The people who came with us walked away talking about: ❤️ Clarity and the "give first" energetic ❤️ Unfathomable ROI (you can't measure it, but you feel it) ❤️ Reconnecting to living bigger than yourself ❤️ Contribution > consumption Pretty cool. We're calling it Giving Games and we're trying to inspire $1 billion in giving over the next three years. (Sounds crazy but we're doing it anyway lol.) Made a video about the whole thing. Comment "GIVE" if this resonates and when we create the Giving Games Playbook we will send it to you so you can add this into your biz Dan @Alexander VandeLaar @Bc Serna @Whitstagram Hancock @Matthew Thompson @Luke Gilbert @Kevin Lee @Madhuri Pura Dasa @Tina Roach @Auroara Leigh

This really resonates. I’ve actually experimented with paid ads in the past few days and that included spending money on Facebook ads — and while they can create reach, they didn’t create connection in any meaningful way, at least the way i really wanted. What actually shifted things for me was stepping out of the metrics mindset and back into real human contact: conversations, presence, listening, and giving without an agenda, just like you are doing. I believe that’s where trust started to form — and where momentum followed naturally. As an example, In mental health and addiction recovery work (which is my field by the way), we see this all the time: change doesn’t come from persuasion, it comes from relationship. Giving first creates safety, and safety opens people up in ways no ad ever can. What you’re describing feels less like a marketing tactic and more like a reminder of something fundamental — contribution reconnects us to something bigger than ourselves. Really appreciate you sharing this. And of course, I comment 'Give'
