Three, two, one... jump! When I was growing up, I frequently went on summer trips. From traditional tent camping to white water rafting for a week — those memories are some of the most memorable of my life. I especially remember when I stood on top of a houseboat, daring myself to jump. To be brave enough to hold my breath and leap into the water that awaited be below. Today, I still jump. Only it looks different. Several years ago, when I started my real estate and design business, I remember telling myself to jump into everything that came with starting a business. Into calculated risks. The unknown. To jump into working long nights and early mornings. And to jump at the opportunity that by becoming a business owner could, quite possibly, be the thing that would change the direction of my life. In the years between now and then, I learned lessons that could only be taught by taking chances. I learned that sometimes failure comes at a great cost; however, it’s not really failure if I tried my best. I learned that I am capable of more than I thought I was, which came in handy when funds were tight and exhaustion was prevalent. I learned that sometimes tears and being unsure about what is to come is normal. I learned that taking a chance means you’re boldly walking through the possibilities of what could be. Taking a chance means you’re boldly walking through the possibilities of what could be. Sometimes I ask myself what I would be doing if I didn’t start my business. Would I be working a corporate job? Would I feel fulfilled? Would I be as bold as I am? But I’ll never have to answer those questions because I am here. In the midst of taking chances. Fully ready to take the next chance I’m shown. Think about this for a second: what is the next chance you need to take? What’s holding you back? How could your life be improved by simply jumping? Make a decision to jump… Into starting a business, Or traveling to a foreign country, Or telling that someone you have feelings for them, Or to reconcile a broken relationship. Ready?
