No Parachute, No Safety Net

I have to be honest...it's been a hell of a week.

Between going back and forth to Philly to spend time with my dad before he passes...I've found it very difficult to focus.

(And why I'm getting this out  a bit later and shorter than normal so I apologize.)

Focus has never been an issue for this guy.

Blinders on...nose to the grindstone...get 'er done.

Yeah, losing my dad sucks...but I've enjoyed spending time with my nephew who attends University of Pitt and has kept me company on some of the trips.

So I'd like to think I'm the cool uncle LOL

But whoa...these Generation Y's or Millennials (or whatever they call themselves) sure are a breed unlike us Baby boomers.

But you know what? I'm kind of impressed...even a little jealous.

Here are just a couple of things I've noticed about millennials:

+ They can multitask like nobody's business. In the time it takes me to type one text message, my nephew has sent 10...while posting on Facebook...while watching videos that his buddy has sent him...while carrying on a conversation with me.

Blows my mind. And I still maintain that multitasking is a mortal sin...but somehow they get stuff done. More power to them!

+ They jump in head first....and then figure it out. No pouring over directions and step-by-steps. They just tinker and play around until they've got it.

When Cheryl and I were first learning Infusionsoft years ago, we would literally watch a video multiple times and then practice that one thing until it worked just like in the video.

It was painstaking and slow because we were afraid we'd break the app somehow. Pitiful, huh? lol

But what a lesson for business owners!

When was the last time you "jumped without a parachute"?

No safety net...no overthinking.

I'm not talking making a major shift in your business model here.

Just a willingness to try a new approach that you'd never considered before...

Or learn one new skill in the next 30 days...

Or get rid of a mindset that has you stuck...

Yesterday I shared my tale of woe where I was in a situation way out of my comfort zone...shooting videos.
