Thinking of starting your own business? Try skydiving first!

Imagine standing at the edge of an open aeroplane door, the wind whipping through your hair and adrenaline coursing through your veins. The exhilarating idea of jumping into the open sky is both thrilling - and naturally terrifying.

There’s a heck of a lot of research that has gone into what leads you to this point…..standing on the edge.

It’s not a decision you’ve taken lightly. However, the more spontaneous adrenaline seekers among us would disagree, but you like to do due diligence when ticking off bucket list items or making major life decisions.

The time leading up to your first skydive, right up to when you literally hit the ground running, is a lot like the journey you take as a new business owner.

Perhaps our title got your attention – we’ll renege on it a little and say that you don’t have to jump out of a plane before jumping into business ownership, but at least read this article as there are some helpful insights!

First things first

Safety is paramount. You wouldn’t trust a cowboy skydiving establishment with your first jump, right? You'd do your research. You’d look for a company with stellar reviews, experienced instructors, well-maintained equipment and most probably with some certifications and qualifications. This is your life we’re talking about. The same is absolutely true when starting your own business. It’s crucial to dig deep. Take your time learning about the business and the opportunity that resonates with you.

Enter Impact Tutoring, a company dedicated to education and empowerment – with a proven business track record of over 11 years of making a difference and helping shape communities.

Don’t jump alone

You’d never  jump alone for your first skydive, in fact, we’re sure they don’t allow it for safety reasons! The same should apply when jumping into business ownership for the first time. You’ll need to have some support during your entrepreneurial adventure! This is where the concept of tandem jumping comes into play. When tandem skydiving, you’re harnessed to an experienced skydiver, someone who’s done this a million times, is qualified and confident. They guide you through every step. They talk you through the process before you take that leap and they support you on the way down so you are not left aimlessly to free-fall. At Impact Tutoring, we provide you with access to someone who is essentially like having your very own business coach – Jean  McKenzie, founder of Impact Tutoring (yes that’s her in the photo, jumping out of a plane!). An experienced business woman, passionate educator and consultant, you’ll have Jean’s unwavering support when taking on your Impact Tutoring franchise.  Jean and the team will be with you every step of the way, helping you navigate the exhilarating and rewarding landscape of business ownership.

Our infrastructure allows for various support strings—ranging from marketing toolkits, training workshops, systems and process guides, weekly Looms and one-on-one mentoring—so you can hit the ground running, and keep running!
