On the phone, in person, or… Virtually through Video Chat!

Do you do things because they are the right thing to do, not knowing if anyone would notice?

Someone sent us a note last week and said:

“Jason and Jodi really care for each member ~ I don’t feel like just a “customer” in their program.”

Did you watch our latest 4-part seminar series called: Get Momentum: Move Beyond “Stuck” to Finally Achieve Your Dreams.

In just 4 videos (less than 15 minutes each) we taught you:

  • the #1 thing to do when you earn a promotion.
  • to manage time better in the morning to get more done.
  • the ONLY reason people miscommunicate (and argue!).
  • that Get Momentum teaches you to live your best life.

Last Friday, a Get Momentum member from Michigan told Jodi, “I’ve saved thousands of dollars this year alone by delegating work more clearly to my staff.”

And yesterday, Jason spoke with a member in the Middle East who is practicing what he learned in video #2. He has arrived home in time for dinner with his family more times this week than the entire month before!

  1. Did you watch those videos and make a change?
  2. Are you using that “time management” technique?
  3. Is your communication more clear and deliberate?
  4. Are you ready to take what you do to the next level?

Don’t stop at the 4th video. Keep the momentum going. You are capable of SO MUCH MORE, and we can coach you to be better!

Join the Get Momentum Academy today.

This 12-month program is an online AND in-person coaching program. In just 2-4 hours per month, you’ll learn how to:

  • Be a better leader,
  • Manage your team more effectively,
  • Eliminate the “distractions of unproductive days”, and
  • Get more of the most important things done.

You’re not done. You’re not tapped out. You haven’t reached your peak.

More is possible. Momentum is possible.

It’s time to work with coaches who know you, what you need to do AND to join a community that holds you accountable to the promise you made to yourself.

Read what Fabien Modoux - a long-time Get Momentum member in New York City - said about how the Get Momentum Academy has helped him be a better leader:

I’ve been a part of another online leadership training program in the past, but the Get Momentum Academy is the best I’ve experienced. The monthly themed content is very valuable and relevant to my day-to-day life, but the greatest benefit for me has been the accessibility to Jason and Jodi and the other Get Momentum members.

Jason and Jodi really care for each member - I don’t feel like just a “customer” in their program.

They respond quickly to needs and requests and Jason has gone out of his way to introduce me to an alumni member to help with one of my specific needs. That alumnus generously connected with me pro bono as a great kindness.

The online forum has provided several opportunities for me to connect “in real life” with members to collaborate on ideas and offer accountability to move toward our respective goals.

I can’t recommend the Get Momentum Academy more highly. I hope you’ll consider joining and will look forward to connecting with you if you do!

Don’t put off for one more day what you can start RIGHT NOW!

Welcome…your Get Momentum coaches,

What’s Your Gratitude Plan

I believe with all my heart that within a few years medical facilities, communities, and even political groups are going to gain an understanding of the power of gratitude.

What would happen - do you think - if the people around you were more grateful and acknowledged more of the good that goes on?

Would our world be better?

For more than a decade, I’ve stopped at the end of each day to write in my journal. There are three prompts I respond to, and here’s the third one:

“What am I grateful for today?”

 

Strategic Thinking - it’s not just for “them” anymore

It’s Friday.

Would you like to save time, lead better and get more done with influence?

Our next Get Momentum theme is titled:

Strategic Leadership, How to Think Strategically/Work Tactically:
The Intersection of Strategy, Leadership & Productivity

According to MIT Sloan Executive Education, “A recent survey of more than 400 global CEOs revealed that the ability to execute strategy was their number one challenge, ahead of innovation, geopolitical instability, and top-line growth.”

How important would YOU say executing strategy is to you?

In order to get you thinking strategically, I suggest you ask yourself THESE 3 questions right now:

What do I do to think strategically?
How (specifically) can I think more strategically?
How do I demonstrate excellence as a strategic thinker in my career AND in my life?

If, as you’re answering them, you think, “I probably need to spend some more time on this,” then Join Get Momentum. If you are left wondering - as many of our readers tell me they are - how your TEAM would answer those questions, consider joining Get Momentum as a group.

In September, I will coach you all to practice SPECIFIC strategic thinking skills that can make a difference to your career - and, in your life.

How important is Strategic Thinking? Well, according to Harvard Business School, “a strategic approach to leadership was, on average, 10 times more important to the perception of effectiveness than other behaviors studied.”

Get Momentum, click here…

Get Momentum is a highly-personalized online coaching program in response to the need for continuous, lifelong learning among professionals in today’s working world. As your coaches, we support you in practicing the specific skills that make leaders better.

You’ll save time, lead better and get more done with influence.

If you really want to learn what the MOST SUCCESSFUL leaders know (and I’m guessing you do or you wouldn’t be reading this email), then this is the ideal first step.

  • Get Momentum Theme Launch: 9/1
  • Master Class (live webinar): “Strategic Leadership” on 9/3

Momentum and You

Ah, that feeling of momentum.

You know, when you get an idea, implement it, and it works! You get that blog post or chapter written. A customer leaves a raving review of your service online. The manufacturer you’re working with gets you what you need on time AND on budget. Isn’t that great?

We’ve just published a 34-page eBook that teaches you how 8 successful Get Momentum members create the conditions necessary to succeed at work…and in life.GMBookCover

Now, what do you do when things are NOT going that smoothly? What do you do when you face challenges, overwhelm and stress in life and at work?

How do you start…when you’re stuck?

That is what we study and teach at www.getmomentum.com.

Jodi - my wife, business partner, and co-author of “Get Momentum: How to Start When You’re Stuck” (Wiley, 2016) - and I have had the pleasure and honor of working with leaders like Devon Bandison for more than 19 years.

When Devon emailed me and said, “Hey Jason, how do we share the Get Momentum philosophy with more people worldwide?”

I knew we were on track to do something amazing together. Each person who contributed to this book is über-successful in our eyes. They are real people, people like you and I. They have a dream, a goal, an idea, a “something” that they need to get started.

These stories will catapult you to take action.

Now, it’s up to you to read this book, and that you Get Momentum. Welcome!

Leadership: You either have it or you want it (a Leadership “self-assessment” quiz…)

Good morning from Quito, Ecuador. Over the past 5 days, I’ve met with more than 100 business leaders in Santiago, Chile and then Lima, Peru, and today I’ll present the “Get Momentum” philosophy in front of 23 CEOs, Senior Leaders and board-level community leaders. On the very top of my mind is: How do people think about getting #Better? What does “Better” even mean? And, what are the questions I love helping people thing through?

Here’s something I’m sharing with the Get Momentum community:

Take this TRUE or FALSE Quiz:

1. You are personally willing to work on your own Professional Development and Leadership Skills. You’re a life-long learner.

2. You can’t think of anything else you’d rather do than build a better future for your community, company, family, projects, etc.

3. Developing yourself professionally and personally is the best way to improve your future.

4. You know the value of asking for help.

5. You seek opportunities and new levels of contributing.

6. You are confident that a new, better, more effective way of working AND living is technically feasible.

7. You’ve read a book, attended a conference, or worked with a coach before.

8. Your position, your job, your product or your service has competition and that drives you to be better.

10. You are unique; you stand out.

11. You are directly responsible to more than just yourself to provide meaningful opportunities to people other than yourself.

12. You living another vibrant 30-50 years will be a benefit to society.

 

Grading: How many did you answer TRUE?

9-12: Are you ready? Or, are you already doing something valuable and meaningful for yourself and the rest of your world? It IS www.TimeToGetMomentum.com

5-8: Does it feel like you’re at “about average”? Are you doing some work that doesn’t seem worth the effort? Mediocre sucks.

0-4: I’m going to propose that your life, your work, your relationships, even your health is on the verge of “unsatisfying.” Is it time to shake things up a bit?

 

Welcome to the GET MOMENTUM retreat

Hello from Ojai! I made this short video for ALL of the GET MOMENTUM members and non members who are interested in the upcoming retreat…

—> Click Here to watch <— 

Those of you who are attending the Winter Leadership Retreat (click here for the retreat logistics and more info), you’re in for a treat. You’ll have 3 and a half days here in Ojai to think, and discuss, and plan…All in the name of creating a 90 day plan that will launch you in to 2015.

Look, I know that you’ll remember things from EVERY year, so I won’t go so far as to say this will be your “best year yet.”

I mean, personally EVERY year has been a best one. Even when hardship comes. You see, each passing moment offers up a new opportunity for us to be at our best, to cast a vision of things to come, to contribute of the overflow of abundance.

I hope wherever you are, you’re having a wonderful day…

Oh, and if you are considering traveling to Ojai for the next GET MOMENTUM Leadership Retreat, let us know right away!
