Get Momentum

Book summary

Jodi and Jason W. Womack are a husband-and-wife team with 20 years of business consultancy experience through their firm, The Jason Womack Company. Jason is a business leader and coach specializing in time management and motivation, as well as personal and professional development. Jodi is an activist for women in business and the founder of the women’s business network No More Nylons.

Motivation thrives on having a strong support system, such as a mentor who inspires through their achievements rather than simply urging perseverance. Jason, for instance, draws inspiration from Benjamin Franklin’s disciplined approach to productivity and self-improvement. While Jason couldn’t meet Franklin, today’s opportunities to connect with mentors abound, from conferences to smaller events like Jodi’s No More Nylons. Reaching out to influential figures, especially with specific questions, can also yield valuable guidance. Equally important is adaptability—adjusting strategies without abandoning goals when challenges arise. For example, extending a marathon training timeline allows progress without overexertion. Simplicity is key when making changes, and a clear monitoring system helps identify areas needing improvement. Celebrating milestones sustains motivation, and structuring goals into 30-day and 90-day cycles makes large projects manageable. Tools like the 30/30 rule, dedicating 30 minutes daily for 30 days, and the 90/90 principle, reviewing tasks 90 days ahead, ensure steady progress. Tracking key indicators, such as in marathon training, prevents setbacks, but excessive monitoring can overwhelm. Focusing on meaningful metrics and maintaining a consistent routine ensures alignment with goals while addressing issues early.
