When we faced with a tough decision in life, our gut often is our best indicator of the correct answer. Yet, often we fail to listen. In this lesson, you will learn new ways to truly listen to what your body is telling you.
Resumes often hold clues to our past but we aren't trained to see these clues. When we add a second column to our resume in this chapter, you will learn how it becomes easier to see patterns and trends to help you figure out your future. It becomes your career DNA.
We love to know the answers to complex questions in our lives to help us make decisions. But what if those answers will never be known until you make the decision? Questions like "how will I make money?", "how will I get health benefits?". This chapter dives into this thought process that often holds us back from taking the leap.
Our lives are constantly filled with work, family time, and other activities that prevent us from pausing to focus on a career struggle. We are on auto-pilot going from one meeting and activity to another. But what if we never pause to take time to think about what we truly want in life? You could end up unfulfilled at your retirement party. This chapter helps you create a plan to pause and think.
We are told that we learn and grow from our mistakes however as we age it feels that we live too carefully and avoid failure. You will learn in this chapter why you need more failure in life to succeed.
As humans, we are really good at case-building: building a list of reasons for us NOT to do something, especially when faced with a challenging dilemma like an unfulfilled career. This section of the book walks through common excuses we use to build a case to stay comfortable in our careers, even when we are unhappy. You will learn how to overcome the case we build for ourselves.

What makes “Jump..” so unique in a market niche filled with competitors? Woven throughout the fabric of this book are uniquely personal experiences from Cory’s own life which chronicle his all-too-familiar drive to “make it” in this world, ultimately discovering that “making it” is insufficient in and of itself, to have made the journey worthwhile. At the mid-point of his career, he lands at that also all-too-familiar point that either each of us, or someone we know, inevitably gets to – NOW what? Using his own life as a road map, Cory takes us along on a journey of shared experiences as we use the lessons he learns at each step until both he and us are able to have the epiphany we both yearn for and deserve – this is what I was meant to do.

I was a corporate finance and strategy executive with Fortune 500 companies for over 16 years before leaving my job in to travel the world nonstop. I finally listened to my gut and realized that I was not living the life that I had wanted to live. While traveling to all seven continents, I discovered my higher purpose in life: to inspire other people to become their best self.
My mission is to inspire one million people in the world by the time I reach the age of 50 (in 2029). Check out my personal website www.corycalvin.com to see how I am doing. And if I have inspired you, be sure to add yourself to my ongoing inspiration counter.
I now lead a location independent lifestyle. My memoir I Almost Became Me became a #1 Best Seller and I launched Pivot Trip, a transformational travel company, in May 2019, leading global retreats to inspire others to follow their passions in life.
