Chip Higgins: Applying Physics to Entrep...

About this episode

Are you running out of energy before you run out of ideas?
You’ve got the vision, the drive, and maybe even the team — but somehow, your business still feels stuck in neutral. What if the problem isn’t your strategy… but your momentum?


In this episode, we dive deep into the science — and the soul — of small business growth. Our guest, Chip Higgins, knows exactly what it feels like to hit that wall. After decades in executive leadership and banking, Chip saw a critical gap: small business owners weren’t getting access to the same strategic insight and momentum-building tools that corporations rely on.


So he built a solution.


As the Founder of Bizzics and author of The Bizzics Way: Powering Your Small Business to Maximum Momentum, Chip has turned the timeless laws of physics into a powerful framework for entrepreneurs — showing how mass, velocity, and energy apply to leadership, team building, and purpose-driven growth.


Chip’s passion is contagious. He believes small businesses don’t need to be big to be massive — they just need the right momentum. In this inspiring conversation, he reveals how to create lasting energy in your business, overcome burnout, and build something that truly lasts.


If you’ve ever wondered how to turn your passion into purposeful movement — this episode is your roadmap.


Quotes:

  • "Passion moves you off center, from kind of a potential energy standpoint, into kinetic, like you're willing to do something about it. But, you know, it's really the purpose of it that keeps you going through all of it."
  • "Until you're really risking and willing to fail, you'll always be minimized in the impact that you're having.""I think that level of transparency and humility, of being open, you're constantly amazed at what will come to you if you're open hearted with people about what you're doing."


Actionable Takeaways:

  • Audit your business momentum. Ask yourself: Where is my energy going—and is it creating forward motion or just friction? Identify one area where effort isn’t translating to progress and refocus it.

  • Shift from passion to purpose. Passion gets you started, but purpose keeps you moving. Define why your business exists beyond profit—and make sure every decision aligns with that mission.

  • Build “mass” before “velocity.” Strengthen your team, culture, and systems first. Sustainable growth comes from density—creating a business that can handle acceleration without falling apart.

  • Monitor your energy management, not just time. Track what drains and fuels your energy daily. Replace one draining task this week by delegating or automating it.

  • Reflect on your authenticity. Ask: Am I building a business that truly reflects who I am and what I believe? Authenticity is momentum fuel—without it, burnout is inevitable.

Conclusion:
Momentum isn’t just about moving faster—it’s about moving with purpose. Chip Higgins reminds us that small businesses don’t need to be big to make a massive impact. What matters is direction, energy, and authenticity. When you align your passion with purpose and lead with intention, you create a force that doesn’t just sustain your business—it transforms it.


So take a breath, refocus your energy, and start building the kind of momentum that lasts.
