How the First Law of Physics Applies to Entrepreneurs Sir Isaac Newton had it right. Here's how to keep up momentum in spite of obstacles.

What do a soccer ball, a train and an entrepreneur have in common?

They, like everything else, are all subject to Sir Isaac Newton's first law of physics, which states that an object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion.

As an entrepreneur, maintaining momentum is one of the most important aspects of keeping a business afloat. But just as a foot can bring a flying soccer ball to an abrupt halt or a conductor can slow a train to a stop, an entrepreneur's motion can be waylaid by external forces. It can be hard to stay the course when it feels like obstacles are popping up left and right.
