Most business owners know that setting your goals is the first step towards achieving them. Without a roadmap to follow, it’s easy to get lost and forget about your goals. But the good news is that there’s more than one way to achieve your goals. You just need to find the one that works best for you. And if you follow this guide, you will find it pretty quickly too. In this article, we are going to discuss the Momentum Curve — a strategy that can help you reach your goals much faster than with other methods. The Momentum Curve makes sure that every small action or task you take, in order to reach your goal, has a huge impact on its progress moving forward instead of backwards. Let’s explore why this strategy can work so well for you...
What is the Momentum Curve?
The Momentum Curve is a strategy whereby you set your ultimate goal at the very beginning of your journey.
After that, you’ll find it much easier to get excited about taking small steps towards that goal.
This is because those tiny actions will eventually have a massive impact on the progress of your goal.
And if you look at the graph below, you’ll see that the momentum of your goal increases as you take more and more steps towards it.

That’s because as you approach your goal, you’ll naturally be more excited, you’ll naturally make fewer mistakes, and you’ll naturally have a lot of small wins which make you feel good about reaching the goal.
Why is the Momentum Curve such a powerful strategy?
The reason why the Momentum Curve is such a powerful strategy is because it has a huge impact on your psychology.
Firstly, the momentum curve gets you excited about taking action.

With most of the “success” strategies out there, you’ll be told to take action — but you won’t be told why you should.
With the momentum curve, you’ll be told exactly why you should be taking action. And because you’re excited about what you’re doing, you’ll naturally be more excited to keep going.
Secondly, the momentum curve makes sure you keep taking action. With most strategies, you’ll be told to take action — but you won’t be told how often.
With the momentum curve, you’ll be told exactly how often you should be taking action. And because you’re excited about what you’re doing, and because you don’t have to take action by yourself, you’ll naturally be more excited to keep taking action.
Which goal should you choose for your entrance point on the curve?
If you’ve gotten this far in the article, it’s pretty safe to assume that you already know the goal you want to achieve.

And if that’s the case, your next step is to choose your goal's entrance point on the curve.
This is the first small step you will take towards your goal.
There are a few factors you should consider before choosing your goal’s entrance point on the curve.
- Which of your goals will have the biggest initial impact?
- Which of your goals will have the biggest overall impact over the entire curve?
- Which of your goals will have the biggest initial impact over a very long time period?
How to use the momentum curve to reach your goals faster
Set your ultimate goal at the very beginning of your journey. After that, you will gradually transform your goal into a series of smaller steps.
At the end of each step, you will set another goal that will have a huge impact on the progress of your overall goal moving forward.

Each time you achieve a smaller goal, you will naturally be more excited about reaching your overall goal.
This is because each small step on the curve will have a huge impact on the momentum of your goal moving forward.
When you reach your overall goal, you will naturally feel extremely grateful and inspired.
This will cause you to keep going and work even harder towards your next goal.
Should You Use This Strategy?
The momentum curve can work really well for you, especially if you follow all the steps above. But it’s a good idea to test it out first and see if it works for you.
So, all you have to do is:
- Set a goal that’s just a little bit above your current level of success.

- Set a series of milestones for how you will achieve that goal.
- Use the momentum curve to take each step and see how it affects your psychology.
- If the strategy doesn’t seem to be working, try a different goal or a different way of approaching it.
Conclusion
The momentum curve can help you reach your goals much faster than with other strategies. The strategy makes sure that every little step you take has a huge impact on the progress of your overall goal. And because you’re excited about what you’re doing, you’ll naturally be more excited to keep going.
You don’t have to follow the curve step-by-step. Instead, you can just pick a goal to work towards and make it a priority in your life.
Throughout your journey, you will naturally make mistakes and have small wins.
Let those experiences inspire you to keep moving forward.
If you follow the momentum curve correctly, you will reach your goals much faster than if you follow other strategies.
