In this episode of Leadership That Sells, I talk with Chip Higgins — small business strategist, seasoned exec and author of The Bizix Way — about how to lead with energy, focus, and staying power. Chip brings a totally fresh perspective by linking business performance to real physics principles like momentum, force, friction and inertia.
He shares how mass times velocity is more than just an equation from school science. It's a powerful mental model for sales teams and leaders who want to build real traction and keep it going. We dig into how leaders create energy, how to point it in the right direction, and how to build "mass" inside the business by developing people, sharpening value propositions, and improving the systems that make selling simpler.

Here’s how to create unstoppable sales momentum:


Momentum = Mass x Velocity. Mass is the density of your value proposition and team. Velocity is speed with direction.


Don’t confuse activity with productivity. Sales energy must be focused on aligned targets that drive real value.


Increase mass by building weighty leadership, strong culture, and clear differentiation.


Velocity comes from direction. Set the vector: what market, what message, what timeframe.


Friction kills energy. Remove unnecessary complexity, systems drag and pointless admin.


Reinvest in your people. Developing skills and character builds lasting mass.


Bond with your customers. Deep connections create resilience and power, like redwood trees sharing root systems.
