The Motion Trap: Pushing beats pausing.

Hi, it’s Slawomir.

Got something for you that flips logic on its head: sounds like a contradiction, but it’s not.

A couple days ago I was in Amsterdam for a meeting. But before we sat down to talk, we did something better. We boxed.

Group of us. No coach. Just gloves on, heart racing, bodies moving. You learn a lot about people when you're trading shots. Who hesitates. Who presses. Who crumbles under pressure. Who loves it.

It was loud. Raw. That sound of leather snapping off ribs. Breathing thick and heavy. And somewhere in that chaos, I was reminded of something I’ve felt a hundred times, but needed to feel again.

I only win when I move forward.

That’s when I land shots. That’s when I make a dent. Even if I get cracked a few times, I’m in control. I’m creating the pace. I’m inside the fight, not just surviving it.

But if I try to play safe, hold my ground, take a breath?

Forget it. That’s when I get hit. That’s when everything falls apart. And once momentum flips against you, it’s hard as hell to steal it back.

Afterward, we went to eat. Talked business. Future plans. Scaling. Struggles. Growth. All of it. But my mind kept going back to that ring.

Because it’s the same in business.

When you’re moving: testing, launching, adjusting, building. You’re dangerous. You’re creating waves. You’re too busy pressing forward to be afraid.

But when you slow down? When you start “managing” instead of attacking?

That’s when it creeps in.

Doubt. Overthinking. Stagnation. You don’t just lose momentum. You lose clarity. You lose edge.

So this is your reminder.

Don’t stand still.

Keep moving. Keep swinging. Even if it’s messy. Even if it’s ugly. Forward is the only direction that pays.

Talk soon,
Slawomir
