Momentum is oxygen for startups. When you have it, you'll do anything possible to bottle it up, make sure everyone on your team knows how precious it is, and preserve it at all costs. When you're missing it, you only have one goal. Recapture it. You'll do things that don't scale. You'll will wins into existence. You'll do anything, literally anything to get it back.
