Just had our Breakthrough Wednesday call inside The Momentum Lab. And here's the thing... Momentum without obstacles doesn't need a program. We're here because things get hard. Something came up on today's call that I want to name directly, because I think more than one of you is dealing with it: 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗸 𝗶𝘀𝗻'𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂'𝗿𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴. 𝗜𝘁'𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂'𝗿𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴. This shows up in a lot of different ways. For some of you, it's planning instead of doing — mapping out a whole system when the real next step is one conversation. For others, it's researching instead of deciding — spending hours evaluating options because committing to one feels risky. For some, it's doing the tasks you're already good at instead of the one that scares you. And for a few of you, it's avoiding a hard conversation — with a client, a partner, or yourself — by staying busy with something easier. None of that work is useless. But if it's replacing the thing you committed to on Monday, it's not momentum. It's a detour that feels like progress. This week, I want you to be brutally honest with yourself. Drop a comment: - 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗸 𝗜'𝗺 𝗵𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗶𝘀: - 𝗜'𝘃𝗲 𝗮𝗹𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆 𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗱: - 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗜 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝗺𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 (𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲𝗻'𝘁 𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗱 𝘆𝗲𝘁): And if you're brave enough — answer this too: 𝗜𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗜'𝗺 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗻 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗜 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗼𝗻 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘆, 𝗼𝗿 𝗱𝗶𝗱 𝗜 𝘀𝘄𝗮𝗽 𝗶𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝘀 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗮 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻? If you were on today's call, you already know the answer. If you weren't, this is your moment to check yourself before Friday.

On Thursday, I announced The Momentum Lab — a small-group coaching program for founders who know what to do but can't seem to get it all done. Today, the final spot was filled. (Shout out @Seth Goldstein!) I capped it at 9 on purpose. Not because I couldn't fit more... but because I didn't want to. I want to be in the weeds with each person, not moderating a group call where half the room never talks. Here's who's in: 🩺 A pediatric ICU nurse with 18 years of experience, building a financial coaching practice for other nurses 🎯 A facilitator who's been running 3-hour deep-dive sessions for clients but has never packaged it into a real business 🌿 A founder splitting time between a landscaping company and the business he actually wants to build 🧠 A clinic director who spent years handling the highest-complexity cases — childhood trauma, crisis work — now building something of her own for the first time 💡 A creator with a head full of ideas and a hard drive full of unfinished projects, ready to finally make her first dollar ...and four others, each with a different business and the same core problem: 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗼, 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗸𝗲𝗲𝗽𝘀 𝗴𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝘆. We ran our first call yesterday. ⚡ One person identified the exact pattern that's been blocking her revenue for two years — in the first 10 minutes ⚡ Two others realized they've been hiding behind text messages and planning instead of picking up the phone and having real conversations ⚡ Someone admitted that her identity is so tied to doing everything herself that delegation feels like failure That's one call. The structure is simple: → Mondays, we set priorities and commitments. → Wednesdays, we solve problems and coach through blocks. → Every weekday, people post what they're working on, and the group holds each other to it. No courses. No templates. No 47-step frameworks. Just a small room of people who decided that this is the week they stop planning and start moving.

I just wanted to mention how fantabulous the co-working sessions have been for me, not only for focus and productivity, but also for the incredible people I've been able to connect with over the past few months in The Founders Guild. If you haven't tried one of the session in the calendar yet, I highly recommend that you do! This was our morning crew today! Love these ladies! 🩷🧡 @Sarah Hyland @Verena Venus @vanessa-phipps-4056
