In this episode, we're going to talk about taking a leap, or more specifically when and how to know that you can transition from a career to the next or from a situation to the next and so on and so forth. Are you ready? Be brave Be resourceful You're going to have to jump. And I call that the principle of knowing that you don't know what you don't know. At the end of that leap there always lies possibility. When you see water around your feet on the Titanic you might still feel like your vision ahead is unclear. Once you get clear on the fact that this here is a dead end for you and you get over the illusion that it's comfortable so yay, you're gonna be able to see the possibilities ahead and there are many. Focus on the possibilities and the excitement of going towards positivity rather than narrowly accepting what is confining yourself and feeling stuck You deserve to live with passion. You deserve to rock the career of your dreams and to have a nice friendly environment around you. There will always be options and possibilities no matter what age or career field you are in. In order to survive you will need to develop something that helps you stomach plot twists and take leaps because the leaps are no longer an option anymore. There's a great book that I want to recommend for everybody out there. It's called When To Jump by Mike Lewis.

Our guest this week is Mike Lewis, Founder and CEO of When To Jump.When Mike was twenty-four and working in a prestigious corporate job, he eagerly wanted to leave and pursue his dream of becoming a professional squash player. But he had questions: When is the right time to move from work that is comfortable to a career you have only dared to dream of? How have other people made such a jump? What did they feel when making that jump—and afterward?Mike sought guidance from others who had “jumped,” and the responses he got—from a banker who started a brewery, a publicist who became a Bishop, a garbage collector who became a furniture designer, and on and on—were so clear-eyed and inspiring that Mike wanted to share what he had learned with others who might be helped by those stories. Out of these stories came When To Jump, a community dedicated to exploring the fundamental question we all think about: when is the right time to go do what you really want to be doing?Mike is the author of the brand new book, When to Jump: If the Job You Have Isn't the Life You Want, and he is also the host of the new hit podcast, When To Jump.—This episode is brought to you by:Health IQ, an insurance company that helps health conscious people get special life insurance rates.
