leap and the net will appear

Kendra Wright, founder and owner of a couple of companies was guest in our talk show "Austin Stars of Business". What gave her the courage to start her first own company? Her answer: I believe in 'leap and the net will appear', that means to her: People believe your great ideas only when you do it and go for it.
'Leap and the net will appear' reminds me of the ending of the movie "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade" where Harrison Ford solves a couple of riddles. The last one is he stands in front of an abyss and needs to cross. But there is no bridge. The riddle says something like 'trust and move on'. In the moment he is doing the first step into the abyss the bridge shows up. It is an optical deception, he could not see the bridge before he moved. Only when you do the first step, you can see the path. This sequence of the movie illustrates for me perfect this principle.

A German Cowboy trusts his mission and does the next step.

Watch the Austin Stars of Business talk show, fridays 7 pm, Channel 10, in Austin or soon you can see it on the internet as a video podcast.
