Ep.9 - Just Jump - Fifteen Minute Friday

It can be incredibly difficult to jump into anything new. But sometimes it's what is best and sometimes we have to trick ourselves into making that jump less scary.

On top of all that you have to ask yourself, what's the worst thing that can happen if I make the jump? 

One thing that can really help us make more jumps is if we were able to make our jumps simpler. Maybe when you are about to take a chance, start a side hustle, begin a new business adventure we could find the simplest, least cost effective method to test it out so that we could fail faster and far more often. So that we could get much more used to the pace of moving and doing. So that we can get used to the word and the feeling of momentum.

A really great example of starting off simple comes from a story that Marc Randolf, the co-founder of Netflix, often tells of a young student who is thinking of starting a new business and how he advises her to do some easy market research. You can hear that story in the amazing podcast episode he does with the guys over at the Creative Rebels podcast. If you haven't checked their podcast out yet, it's definitely worth the listen.
