It isn't easy to gain great momentum in business. The one thing all business (including mine) need is consistent and steady growth through successful activities that keep the momentum going. To increase your chances of building consistent success in any business endeavour, you need to be aware of the following ten strategies.

Momentum in business is built when you accumulate a series of successes, one following another in quick succession without stopping. Momentum can produce quick growth and enable you to meet all your goals within a very short duration.

The following are 10 tips for building momentum in your business:
