Dan Hannigan-Daley – Taking a Leap of Faith

Committing yourself to something you’re not sure will pan out is scary. It’s tough to book a one-way ticket to a new city in hopes of success. It’s even tougher to take that leap of faith and fail.

When things don’t work out and you put everything you had into something, it takes a lot to keep going.

But it’s at those defining moments when you find that perfect opportunity. It’s only after you make the jump completely, and fully commit to your dreams.

If you’re looking for the motivation, techniques, and a real-life story of someone who took that leap of faith, then this episode is for you.
