We are in a leap year! The time every 4 years when we add an extra day to February so that the calendar that most of us follow matches up with the earth’s movement around the sun. What a fantastic time to review our lives and what has happened since the last leap year and decide what we want by the next one.
Remember what was happening in the world 4 years ago? 29th February 2020? We were just starting to hear about the spread of Covid 19, but we still didn’t know what a huge impact it would have on our lives and the world.
At the time, I was living in Surrey in the UK. Still in my corporate job and creating my business on the side. Now 4 years later I’m my own boss, living the dream in France and helping others find the confidence, self-belief, resilience and motivation to become entrepreneurs.
WHAT HAS CHANGED FOR YOU?
What about you? What changes have happened since then? Have you had career moves? Has your family situation changed? It’s good to stop and think every so often about how far you have come, what you have achieved and what you still want to achieve, and leap day is a great excuse.
But what about four years from now? Leap year 2028?
One thing for sure is that we can’t change the past or predict the future, and we don't have control over world events…but we can do something about the present and what we do now.
What we do this year could put us in the best place possible next leap year. Where would you love to be? Who would you love to be with? What would you love to be doing? Or would you be content to be just where you are with no change?
What you do now could totally transform your life in just 4 years or less. It’s absolutely possible.
What can you start today to begin to make your leap to a life you love?
THE BIGGEST CAREER LEAP
I couldn’t mention leap day without talking about what is often called a ‘leap’ which is a career leap. And the bigger leap which is leaping out of a career and into a business.
I’d like to say that really it is just a step and not a leap at all, but that would not be true! It is a leap! It is a big change and it isn’t always easy to make the distance, especially on your own. This is why I created the Career to Entrepreneur Method, to make that leap a bit easier to manage.
If you do want to make the leap from your career to start your dream business, the best place to start is my introductory course The Career to Entrepreneur Method Made Easy, which is specifically aimed at people thinking about making the leap and how they can make sure they are ready to start on the runway.
THE BOTTOM LINE IS…
Taking a leap is not hard, as long as you are prepared for it. It’s not something you can just start from a standing start and expect to reach the other side. You need to prepare mentally, practically and strategically.
What can be better than in this leap year to commit to getting started on that runway, so that on the 29th February 2028, your life will be transformed for the better. And you can look back and say this is exactly when it all began.
