Many new entrepreneurs are finding success not through big breakthroughs, but through a simple habit: acting fast before fear can catch up. This article highlights seven mindset shifts that turn hesitation into action.
Momentum Happens Between Wins and Hard Decisions
Even in a record-breaking year, Gymshark proved that momentum isn’t smooth — it’s built between breakthrough wins and brutal decisions. In 2025, the company hit its highest sales ever and still announced a major restructure: 296 roles cut, 168 added. Growth didn’t remove pressure; it simply raised the stakes.
To understand this momentum, you have to look at the moments when Gymshark almost collapsed. In 2015, a supplier failure right before Black Friday left the company with nearly zero inventory, triggering order chaos and a flood of customer complaints. Most brands would have frozen.
But founder Ben Francis rebuilt the entire supply chain from scratch, taking production in-house — a move that reshaped the company’s future.
And this resilience was built long before 2015:
- 2012 — Garage YearsBen sewed cheap, flawed gymwear in his garage, learning fast and reinvesting every mistake into momentum.
- 2020 — Stepping DownBen stepped down as CEO to learn leadership, gaining the skills needed to scale Gymshark responsibly.
- 2023 — The ReturnBen returned as CEO with discipline, clearer vision, and the maturity to lead Gymshark’s next stage.
Gymshark’s 2025 lesson:Momentum isn’t the absence of obstacles — it’s choosing forward motion when stopping feels easier.
Pivot Faster, Grow Faster
When momentum stalls, don’t wait — redirect. This article helps you spot the signals that something needs to shift so you can move back into growth. A pivot isn’t failure — it’s acceleration.
3 Momentum Moves
1. If engagement drops → shift your offer, not your effort. Explain: Momentum dies when the offer misaligns, not the idea.
2. If one segment responds better → double down immediately. Explain: Momentum grows fastest where customers already lean in naturally.
3. If the original plan drains energy → simplify and restart motion. Explain: Clarity returns through action — simplify and move again.
Shift faster now — momentum rewards decisive creators.

Momentum doesn’t come from ideas, plans, or motivation — it comes from you showing up. The moment you take action, everything starts shifting in your favor. You are the engine. You are the spark.
