Episode description

In the book transformational leadership by Josh Medcalf and Jamie Gilbert, on page 50 there is a story about the worlds strongest man pulling a semi truck or another vehicle about 25 meters as fast as possible. The point of the story is if you watch these guys, starting is the hardest part. Once they start, then the wheels start moving. And as long as they maintain their momentum, they are able to move forward in a way that appears a lot easier than when they first started.   The point is, our first step towards action is often the hardest, and every step after that, as long as we maintain our momentum is going to be a lot easier. Not only because the wheels are moving, but also because our destination gets closer, and we can start to see it, and that gives us more motivation to continue moving, and taking action.
