Momentum is the secret word of the successful. It is the secret word of the rich. They find one thing, they roll that, they snowball that, they create momentum into something else. Someone asked, how do you keep believing in the woman you're becoming, even when you see little proof in the present moment? When I first started Hot, Smart, Rich,

I was at the lowest point in my life. And I made a TikTok that was about becoming the hottest, smartest, richest version of myself. I was none of those things when I started Hot Smart Rich. All I had was the belief that I would be here today, and I am here today. Everybody is walking around with that little t trauma of who they were as a kid, and they

are trying their best, and they are taking their lived experiences, and they are doing one thing with that, and it is creating momentum. Momentum is the secret word of the successful. It is the secret word of the rich. They find one thing, they roll that, they snowball that, they create momentum into something

else. And momentum is the most powerful force in the world when you don't have anything to believe in but yourself. It's what Stephen talked about a lot in his episode, if you haven't listened to that, about the bookshelf example, and how your bookshelf is all of the different things that you have been able to achieve, and it starts with nothing.

And then you slowly start to add books to your shelf. That is how you believe in who you are becoming, not necessarily the proof that you have in that moment.
