Listen to my interview on The Leap podcast, where we talk about making major life changes, being creative, conquering fear, and striving for the life you really want to live.
Here’s an excerpt:
THE LEAP: Laurence, what can you tell people about making the leap themselves? What should they look out for? What should they avoid?
LM: I would say the number one thing is to trust yourself. Have faith that you know what you need to do.
I would also say: go ahead and break some rules. Go outside the box. Do things that people think are not necessarily the way you should do them.
Do something a little bit crazy. But not so crazy that you expose yourself or others to great harm.
In other words, don’t go all in. Don’t say, ‘Oh, I’m going to write this book, or do whatever, and if this fails, I’m done.’
Go in knowing that you’re going to learn the skills that you may not have today. Don’t be afraid to fail.
Emphasize to yourself that you need to go and learn how to succeed. And then go out there and put massive effort into it.
And when you start having success, give something back. Start telling other people how to do it. Just like we’re doing on this podcast today.
It’s important to connect with other people who are trying to do the same things you’re trying to do, and be positive about it.
