From A Nobody to a Somebody - Coaching with Sid

In physics, there’s a concept called escape velocity: the speed an object needs to break free from the pull of gravity. When a rocket launches, it faces the greatest resistance at the start. Gravity pulls the hardest when it’s closest to Earth.

But once the rocket reaches escape velocity, it’s free. The gravity that once held it down is no longer relevant. Momentum takes over, and it soars into spaces it could only imagine from the ground.

Entrepreneurship works the same way. Your “gravity” is the fear, doubt, and old habits holding you back. Maybe it’s the fear of launching a new product, pitching your idea to investors, or raising your prices. These forces feel strongest when you’re closest to breaking through.

That’s why so many entrepreneurs stop just before their breakthrough. The work feels too hard, the progress invisible. But if you keep pushing—if you build enough momentum to hit your escape velocity—you’ll find yourself in a whole new realm. The resistance that once seemed impossible will fade, and you’ll step into the space where visionaries thrive.
