What Flying Taught Me About Business

One of my favorite things to do any day I get 1–2 hours free, is head to the airport in Danbury, CT and fly.

Sometimes it’s a lesson.
Sometimes it’s just being up out there just to think.

But what surprised me is how much flying taught me about business.
To get a plane in the air, you need 3 things:

• Speed – You have to build enough runway momentum
• Lift – Once you hit the right speed, you rise
• Momentum – After you’re up, you have to keep steady energy to stay in the air

The Funny thing is business is the same. You can’t fly without direction either.
That’s where the GPS analogy comes in.

I created this graphic to help remind myself of what's needed when im about to start a new venture in business, or if imm feeling stuck, lost or going nowhere.

What do you do when your stuck?
