Last month, my son went for a kids' treetop adventure course.

He’s not afraid of heights, so I thought he’d breeze through it. 

But then, right before the zipline, he froze. 

“Come on, Jonas! You’re almost there!” I shouted. 

But he didn’t move. 

He wasn’t scared of falling; he was scared of the unknown. 

“If you never try, you’ll never know!” I told him. 

He finally jumped and loved it. He wanted to do it again and again.

This reminded me of so many adults I see stuck on that same metaphorical platform. 

They want to start a business or pursue a dream but are frozen in place because they’re afraid of the unknown. 

They say things like, “I’ve never done this before,” or “What if I fail?” 

But the truth is, most people are scared of the unknown.

It’s not the heights or the fall they fear, but the uncertainty of what comes next.

Think about it – how often have you held back from taking a leap because you didn’t know what to expect? 

Maybe you’ve thought about starting your own business or making a big career change, but fear keeps you stuck. 

Don’t let the fear of the unknown hold you back from what might become one of the best experiences of your life. 

Trust me, I took the leap into entrepreneurship years ago, and it changed my life. 

Yes, it was scary, and yes, there were unknowns. 

But if I had let that fear control me, I would never have achieved the success I have today. 

So, take a deep breath, find your courage, and take that leap. 

You’ll never know what incredible things await you on the other side.
