Take the Leap

With the start of a new month, what better time to start thinking or rather taking the moves that you have been thinking about? Why not now? There's no need to jump blindly if it can be avoided but don't let that stop you. The time will never be perfect. We came across this short write up from Melanie Hawken the Founder of Lionesses of Africa and definitely wanted to share. Enjoy!

"It’s often said that there is never a perfect time to start a business and make the bold move into the world of entrepreneurship, and that’s particularly the case when you are creating something new and innovative. But talk to any uber successful entrepreneur about what it took to galvanize them into action and start their businesses, and they will tell you that the prospect of never having tried was far more regrettable than the prospect of giving it their all and failing. Ultimately, that was the key factor compelling them to take the leap.

We all know that there are no guarantees when starting a business, and that failure is often part of the journey, but surely it’s better to have tried and failed than to live with the regret of never having started. As Ellen DeGeneres so aptly says, “When you take risks you learn that there will be times when you succeed and there will be times when you fail, and both are equally important. It's failure that gives you the proper perspective on success.”
