In this episode, we go a bit deeper into why you should “stop thinking”.
Welcome to another episode of Tiny Leaps, Big Changes where I share research-backed strategies you can use, to get more out of your life. My name is Gregg Clunis.
Join us in a conversation where we clarify what I meant when I said to “stop thinking”.
Key Takeaways:
- You shouldn’t take immediate action.
- Foundational work needs to be done before you completely jump in.
- Recognize where you are in the process and take smart actions that will lead you in the right direction.
- Small steps lead to big changes.
- “That doesn’t mean jumping off the cliff, that means learning how to build the parachute”.

| 0:00.0 | In this episode, we talk about how taking action is different from being rash. |
| 0:07.6 | Get excited because this is tiny leaps. Big changes. Welcome to another episode of Tiny Leaps. Big changes where I share simple strategies |
| 0:39.6 | you can use to get more out of your life. My name is Greg Klunis and so this episode was a little bit |
| 0:47.5 | unplanned. It came from a member of our discord community actually. So if you're not familiar, there is a |
| 0:55.2 | TLBC discord community. All you have to do to join is head over to |
| 0:59.0 | TLBC. CO slash community or click the link in the description of this episode. |

| 2:07.1 | And it all sort of stemmed from this mantra that I had over and over in my head the other day when I was running |
| 2:15.0 | of I instead of I don't think I can switching that to I don't think comma I can. And when I published that episode, I actually remember sort of feeling |
