A full calendar and growing momentum can hide a bad direction. The more you invest, the harder it can become to question where the work is taking you.

I explain the difference between movement and progress, how yesterday's decisions can keep driving today's effort, and why regular course corrections matter. Pause long enough to assess the destination before accelerating.

Show Notes:

[05:13] Point 1: Movement is not the same as progress.

[08:35] Treadmill example: Ten miles of effort without going anywhere

[10:40] Point 2: Momentum can trap you in yesterday's decisions.

[12:26] College team exercise: Piecing together the story

[13:49] The question that exposed a missing piece of the story

[16:02] Time, money, and emotion: Why invested teams keep going

[17:49] Point 3: Regular course corrections defeat blind acceleration.

[19:24] A small course correction beats accelerating in the wrong direction
