A Case for Taking the Leap
BY EMMA GEARY - JANUARY 12 2023
We're hardly two weeks into 2023. Ready to stop reading about New Year’s Resolutions yet? ;)
While reflection and goal-setting can (and should!) happen year-round, the new year often invites a quieter time to take stock of our present lives and think about how we’d like to move forward.
Goal setting, manifestation, and mindfulness are crucial to success. But what about diving headfirst toward something that excites you? It’s a leap, after all!
Your limb to step out upon could be anything from opening a new business to sharing how you really feel. In all of it, there is vulnerability. There is discomfort. There is uncertainty.
And how WONDERFUL that we are alive to experience all of these wild and unpredictable parts of life!
It’s a conversation we’ve been having frequently at LAB, especially as we reimagine The Collective and aim even higher in our Creative Services offerings in 2023. When we share our vision with fellow business owners and creatives, we’re met with support. Every time we make a jump, we end up landing exactly where we should be, even if we don’t see it right away.
“Be comfortable being uncomfortable. It may get tough, but it’s a small price to pay for living a dream."
Peter McWilliams
To kick off the year, we’re sharing people within our LAB community that took a leap in 2022, and inspire us by using their talents to bring to life their biggest dreams. Plus, a few of the reads, listens, and watches that have been motivating our team to do what we love and be our most authentic selves.
Here are a few local entrepreneurs we love who recently took the leap:
We also asked our team, "What has inspired and motivated you to start 2023 on a high note?" Here's what they shared:
Cheers to a year of growth, vulnerability, and bringing your daydream to life. We can't wait to share more local stories and favorite finds with you throughout 2023!
