Jump book review

Whoa, give me the glue, give me the pictures, whatever I need to do to make that vision board, let's do it now. Keep reading to find out what book I'm talking about today. 

Hello, it's Kyla Denanyoh, and today we're discussing vision boards, envisioning yourself, and looking into the future. Today, we're talking about the book "Jump." The author of this book is Kim Perell. The book's genre is nonfiction. The theme of the book is business entrepreneurship. 

I've been thinking about creating a vision board. I've just been like, I've my office, I've my stuff. Okay, life is going. What do I want in the future? And that's especially relevant because I'm a new business owner. I started a company in February 2023. It's thriving. So, what are you going to see? What's gonna motivate you? What's gonna get you ready to go? 

I've had a vision board in the back of my mind, but the last one I made didn't work out. I thought it was going to be like a magical spell that would make all my dreams come true. That's not the case. I'm reading a book that's all about how to turn your fears into fuel, how to network like a pro, and how to set yourself up for success. The author, a parent of four children, says, 'I get all of this stuff done, even though I'm a mother, even though I'm a wife; you have to do it, you have to jump.' You can do a survival jump, you can do an opportunity jump, whatever kind of jump you need to do to take you to the next level, do it. 

Kim talks about a vision board because she created one and sold a business for $236 million. However, the truth is that your vision board is not a magic wand. The magic of a vision board lies in the thought behind it and the way it motivates you. Every time I look at my vision board, my eye goes to something different. And that is the point. 

Let's get started on creating a vision board. I'll also discuss why it's essential and what I learned from this book. To create a vision board, simply grab a few magazines and a board. And you sit down and rip out any image, word, or text that catches your attention; anything that catches your attention, you rip out. So, then you'll sit down with your board. I'm going to give myself a couple of days to review the clips, examine them, and organize them. Some things I thought were cute included words like 'goddess' and 'amazing.' However, when I started putting them on the board, they no longer worked. And I was like, okay, just set them aside. Let's see, maybe you'll come back to them. And so then I laid them out on the board. 

I started to add the windows, which meant a lot to me. I have various items here that mention phrases like 'windows of opportunity.' The sky is not the limit. There was no blueprint. I set the blueprint. I put the rules in place, and I was like, 'Yes!' Let's do it! 

I've created my vision board, and it's currently displayed upstairs. I look at it every day, and something jumps out at me. It's always gonna be something different. A big quote in the middle: You've got to give it all you have. Sometimes it'll be the heart, sometimes it'll be the window, sometimes it'll just be one little word. And that's the point, because I have set goals for my business and for what I want to achieve. When I look at the board, it's a constant and consistent reminder of all the things I want to do and all the goals I have set for myself. And that is the point of a vision board.

So if you're gonna jump, if you're gonna do the next big thing, whether it's an opportunity jump to a new company or to start a business, whether it's a survival jump, you know, a business that you had was shut down or you got laid off. Now you have to do a jump to survive, whatever kind of jump you want to make. Read the book, figure out the best practices to make the jump. You might also want to create a vision board. 

Until the next book review, Kyla
