Melanie Curtis is a coach, speaker, author and professional skydiver with over 11,000 jumps and 26 years in the sport. Melanie is a passionate entrepreneur and voice in personal development.

2. Do your best to interrupt your auto-pilot. We tend to not think about intentionally reflecting on what values, ideas, or fears are driving our choices and actions.

3. Preparation is awesome, but it’s not great when preparation seems like perfectionism, and then ends up keeping us from ever launching whatever it is.
