Sometimes You Have to Jump In

 

The Deep End of the Pool

Do you find yourself waiting to take on a new opportunity?

What is stopping you?

Fear of failure? Fear of the unknown?

Sometimes you have have no choice but to jump right into the deep end.

“Fortune favors the bold.

Those brave enough to jump at opportunity are often rewarded.”

I am not talking about doing anything rash or silly.

As long as you have thought out your actions, there is nothing to worry about.

Dramatic Action

Jumping can be the action that starts your day, your project, or simply your productivity.

Here are a few of the benefits of taking that jump:

• Can’t Turn Back – Jumping creates a “no turning back” moment. It commits you to taking the action you have commenced. This can be a powerful tactic when starting a new endeavor.
• Get Support – People like to support those that jump in. People want to assist those that are doing and in the thick of it. Who on your team will support you when you jump in?
• Create Momentum – Jumping builds momentum. It gets you going in a dramatic fashion. It creates an energy level that will increase your productivity. Leverage this energy to drive your progress.
• Make a Splash – Whether in the workplace or at home, jumping usually creates a big splash. If you want to make positive waves at work try jumping in. It is usually those who jump at opportunities who get the rewards and praise.

Making a Splash

Jumping is about doing. It is about taking dramatic action.

It is not about being unsafe. Or getting in over your head.

It is about taking calculated chances.

And going forward. Taking that leap.

Sometimes you just have to jump in.
