Success in business isn’t just about having a great idea or working hard—it’s about building and sustaining momentum. In the world of business coaching, momentum is what keeps your company moving forward, turning short-term wins into long-term success. But how do you create it, and more importantly, how do you maintain it?
At ActionCoach, we follow a structured approach to business growth, and momentum plays a vital role in achieving sustainable success. Whether you’re scaling your business, refining your strategies, or improving team performance, momentum is the driving force behind consistent results.
What Is Momentum in Business?
Momentum is the compounding effect of consistent effort, smart decision-making, and aligned action. When you and your team continuously push forward, even small wins accumulate into big achievements. Just like in sports, businesses with momentum find it easier to overcome obstacles and accelerate growth.
ActionCoach emphasizes the “5 Ways” Strategy, which includes:
✅ Increasing Leads
✅ Increasing Conversion Rates
✅ Increasing Transaction Value
✅ Increasing Frequency of Transactions
✅ Increasing Profit Margins
By optimizing these key areas, you create a self-perpetuating cycle of growth—the very definition of momentum in business.
How to Build Momentum in Your Business
1. Set Clear Goals with 90-Day Planning
ActionCoach recommends breaking down your long-term vision into 90-day goals. These shorter time frames create a sense of urgency and allow for quick wins that fuel motivation. A clear plan ensures that every action contributes to a larger purpose.
2. Take Consistent, Small Actions
Momentum doesn’t come from sporadic effort; it comes from daily disciplined action. Break tasks into bite-sized steps and track progress regularly. It’s not about perfection—it’s about progress.
Action Step: Implement a Daily Success Formula—a set of non-negotiable tasks that move your business forward each day.
3. Follow the 5 Ways to Increase Profits
At ActionCoach, we teach businesses to focus on incremental improvements in each area of the 5 Ways Strategy. Even a 10% increase across these areas can lead to a 61% increase in profits!
4. Create Accountability & Measure Progress
One of the biggest reasons momentum stalls is a lack of accountability. Whether it's you, your leadership team, or employees, tracking key performance indicators (KPIs) ensures that progress continues. ActionCoach’s “5 Disciplines of Execution” emphasizes tracking and adjusting strategies based on measurable results.
Pro Tip: Use weekly team huddles to review progress and eliminate bottlenecks.
5. Leverage the Power of Your Team
Momentum accelerates when everyone moves in the same direction. Clearly communicate your vision and goals so your team understands how their efforts contribute to the bigger picture.
ActionCoach uses the 6 Keys to a Winning Team framework:
1️⃣ Strong Leadership
2️⃣ Common Goal
3️⃣ Rules of the Game
4️⃣ Action Plan
5️⃣ Support Risk-Taking
6️⃣ 100% Involvement & Inclusion
When your team is aligned, momentum becomes unstoppable.
How to Keep Momentum Going
Once you’ve built momentum, it’s crucial to maintain it. Here’s how:
🔹 Celebrate Small Wins – Acknowledge progress to keep motivation high.
🔹 Eliminate Distractions – Stay focused on revenue-generating activities.
🔹 Adjust & Adapt – Business conditions change, so be flexible while staying committed to the big picture.
🔹 Stay Accountable – Have a coach, mentor, or mastermind group to keep you on track.
