Ep118 - Midweek MindSHIFT - Momentum-vs-Motivation
If you’re a faith-centered, impact-driven Entrepreneur — a Coach, Consultant, Creative, et al — did you know that growing in your business (and your faith) doesn’t have to be a solo sport…? Join Dallas and other like-minded people for a free, live weekly Bible study: www.EntrepreneurBibleStudy.com
EPISODE DESCRIPTION: What if momentum wasn’t something you “catch”… but something you choose? In this Midweek MindSHIFT episode of The Dallas Daily Show, Dallas Amsden breaks down the myths about momentum, motivation, and what it really takes to become the version of yourself you’ve always dreamed of—your FUTURE YOU. Whether you’re stalled out, overwhelmed, or just waiting for that elusive motivation to finally show up, this episode flips the script and gives you a fresh roadmap forward.
IN THIS EPISODE:
- A wild story about pushing a car through California traffic (literally)
- The difference between the FUTURE YOU and the version you want to avoid
- Why momentum is a choice (and how you’re making it daily)
- The lie we believe about “losing momentum”
- How motivation follows action — not the other way around
- Why resistance is a sign of progress, not a signal to stop
- The power of community in sustaining momentum
KEY TAKEAWAYS:
- You don’t lose momentum. You shift it—toward the FUTURE YOU or away from it.
- Motivation is a mood. Momentum is built through consistent action.
- Progress beats perfection every single time.
- Resistance isn’t the enemy—regression is.
- Community is the cheat code for keeping your momentum alive.
- The action you take today is steering you toward a future—choose wisely.
