Leon Hardy was a productive and dedicated employee, but life in a cubicle farm wasn’t his passion. His journey toward doing what he loved began when he answered the call.
Literally.
Receiving a mysterious package containing a Bluetooth headset, Leon discovers a voice on the other end that invites him to start his journey on the fifteenth floor of the fourteen-story office building where he worked. Known as “The Mentor”, this voice aids him as he faces and fights the fears that keep him from his goal.

“Jump: Encouragement for Entrepreneurs on the Edge” is a graphic novel written as I prepared for my own plunge into self-employment. The ideas presented in the book include:
- There’s no cookie-cutter path to starting your own business
- People limit themselves to their own experiences, they generally don’t encourage you to go places they’ve never been
- Be aware of where advice from friends is coming from – it’s usually based on their own fears
- Facing the fear of failure. Failure isn’t “not succeeding” – failure is not learning from mistakes and adjusting accordingly.
- Taking risks doesn’t mean acting recklessly – it’s important to make well-informed decisions
- Fighting Worries and Doubts – these can be suffocating, but are largely imaginary and are a waste of time to give any attention to
- Focus on strengths, not weaknesses
