			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">A few weeks ago <a title="Laurie Ruettimann" href="http://www.thecynicalgirl.com/" target="_blank">Laurie Ruettimann</a>, <a title="Yasha Stelzner" href="http://www.inflexionadvisors.com/about/yasha" target="_blank">Yasha Stelzner</a> and I began our grand experiment called <a title="New Media Services" href="http://www.newmediaservicesllc.com" target="_blank">New Media Services</a>. Sure, we spent a lot of time thinking about the markets we&#8217;ll serve, the needs of our future clients and how we&#8217;ll add value. But at the end there was a critical point where we just had to step to the edge, hold hands and make the leap.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">And what a leap it&#8217;s been. In just a few short weeks we&#8217;ve launched <a title="voice of hr" href="http://www.voiceofhr.com" target="_blank">Voice of HR</a>, provided <a title="voice of careers" href="http://newmediaservicesllc.com/voice-of-careers" target="_blank">free job seeker webinars</a>, planned the most progressive and exciting lineup of thought leaders for a <a title="The Career Summit" href="http://www.thecareersummit.com" target="_blank">global Career Summit</a> and <a title="HR Florida" href="http://newmediaservicesllc.com/news" target="_blank">contracted to provide new media services</a> to two of the largest events in the human resources industry (one of which we&#8217;ll be announcing shortly).</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">My point isn&#8217;t that we&#8217;re awesome rock stars and the smartest kids on the block. In fact, I&#8217;m certain we&#8217;re going to make mistakes along the way. My point is that you never know if you&#8217;ll succeed unless you try. And after all the talking and conjecture, all the grandstanding and pontification, there comes a time to start doing.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I also know something about each of you. Yes, I&#8217;m talking directly to you, that person with an ideation itch they can&#8217;t seem to scratch. The one who takes the extra long shower to work through your own big plans. The person who sketches on airplanes, brainstorms in coffee shops and sits in corporate meetings wondering how much longer you can take it. I talk to you every single week. You pitch me your ideas and we work them over, but at the end of the day you need to decide if it&#8217;s finally time to make the leap.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I have one bit of advice for you.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Do it.</p>
