change	pricing…	you	name	it.	Success	eludes	you.

On	the	other	hand,	when	things	are	on	a	roll,	no	matter	how	many	mistakes	you
make,	things	keep	going	in	the	right	direction.	You	screw	up	a	few	jobs,	miss	a
few	deals,	waste	time	on	the	wrong	things,	get	distracted.	Things	still	power	on.

I’ve	 been	 in	 both	 positions	 in	 the	 last	 12	 months.	 From	 losing	 90%	 of	 my
savings	 on	 a	 startup	 plagued	 with	 chronic	 failure	 to	 a	 business	 that	 was
profitable	in	23	days	and	signed	up	over	400	monthly	clients	in	the	first	year	or
so.	Doing	more	or	less	the	same	things.

Momentum	 is	 a	 powerful	 force,	 so	 keep	 an	 eye	 out	 for	 what	 is	 working	 and	 do
more	of	it.
