I was meant to jump with him!

For my son’s 18th birthday, I gifted him a skydiving experience🎁

When the original date was cancelled due to weather, it gave me something dangerous: time to think🤔

That window of time turned into doubt. Then fear. Then logic that justified stepping back. I gave my spot away to his cousin🎟️

This morning, I drove them both to Sibson Airfield in Peterborough.

🛩️ Saw the tiny plane and thought: this is exactly why I’m not doing it.
🍃 Felt the wind picking up: definitely made the right call.
👷 The safety briefing sealed it: I was not going up there!

They took off. I stayed on the ground!

Then something unexpected happened:
I watched from below as they floated through clear, peaceful skies. It looked incredible 🪂

And in that moment, I wasn’t relieved...I felt as though I was missing out on something unforgettable🥹

💡I realised that this is exactly what the early days of starting a business feel like.

👉 You’re excited. Then the fear creeps in.
👉You start looking for reasons to wait, to delay, to focus on something else.
👉You see others launch, raise, build....and succeed.

And a part of you wonders, why didn’t I just do it when I had the chance?

Startup life is a leap!

It’s not always comfortable, or logical on paper.
But if the only reason you’re not jumping is fear, that’s worth sitting with.

Lesson learned: Sometimes the scariest leaps lead to the most beautiful views.

Next time, I’m going up💯

Are you finally ready to take the leap to start your founder journey with me? Reach out to us here to find out how I can help you turn your fears into a blue sky experience!
