Transcript:
Transition often comes in the form of an opportunity and again opportunities presented can be very scary and our first issue is to say, “Oh I couldn’t possibly change and do that.” You’re not even going to talk to them? You’re not even going to investigate what this new job is? I’m not saying you’re going to take the job. You’re not saying you’re going to move to Wisconsin. You’re not saying you’re going to do this. You’re just investigating. You’re just checking it out. At least, challenge yourself to step over that little bit of fear to at least investigate, because so often I see people who simply — when given — opportunity, as I say, knocks on the door and they slam the door in its face. That’s like, “Oh gosh, don’t do that.” Yes, that opportunity may not be for you, but how do you know if you don’t find out more about the opportunity.
