Momentum isn't about mental preparation - it requires action. True momentum comes from stringing together several smart decisions in sequence.

Success = A Series of Smart Decisions 💡
Ben Horowitz defines success simply as making consecutive smart choices that generate powerful momentum.

The Bold Action Formula:

• Take fast and bold action (not meek and slow)
• Speed and boldness are trainable skills
• Bold actions generate reactions and valuable feedback
• Iteration is key: Act → Read response → Act again

Why Most People Fail:

• Expecting one "aha moment" to create lasting success
• Acting meekly teaches you nothing
• Waiting for perfect conditions (like winning the lottery)

The Power of Momentum:
When you feel momentum, it becomes the most intoxicating and energizing force that drives you to try harder and be bolder.
