What if the biggest risk you could take was actually the safest choice you ever made? In this episode, I sit down with web designer and developer Roger Jorns, who walked away from the corporate world to build his own business and has spent the time since learning some hard and valuable lessons about failure, growth, and getting comfortable being uncomfortable. Roger shares the three principles that guided his first year in entrepreneurship, and they are not what most people expect to hear. If you have been thinking about making a big leap but keep talking yourself out of it, this one is worth your time.

Key Topics Discussed

[00:45] The leap from corporate to entrepreneur. Roger shares what finally pushed him to leave his job and start his own business.

[03:25] Failing differently, not just failing less. Roger introduces his first key principle, which is the idea of learning to fail differently over time.

[09:20] Always be learning, but take action too. Roger's second principle is staying in a constant state of learning, but he is careful to draw a distinction between absorbing information and actually using it.

[13:51] Learning to be uncomfortable. Roger's third principle is embracing discomfort as a sign of growth.

[17:20] What Roger is working on next. Roger shares his focus on growing his YouTube channel, exploring live video and webinars, and finding more speaking opportunities.

Memorable Quotes

"I'd rather do it and fail than look back and be like, oh man, what could it have been."

"You're always going to learn something even from that big failure."

"It's one thing to learn about addition, but now you're going to have to actually try to add."

"If you're not uncomfortable a little bit about something, you're probably either stuck or sliding backwards."
