But \u201cFearless\u201d Felix Baumgartner knows how to take on a complex challenge, face down unexpected problems, and succeed. Something that small business owners and entrepreneurs do every day.<\/p>\n<p>On the 65th anniversary of Chuck Yeager\u2019s legendary flight breaking the sound barrier, Felix Baumgartner, the Austrian daredevil, jumped out of a hot air balloon and free fell more than 24 miles (128,100 feet) to earth yesterday, then amazingly landed on his feet to the cheers of his friends and sponsors. At one point, he was traveling at 833.9 miles per hour, easily breaking the sound barrier. The jump\/fall took less than 10 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>He had trained for five years. He had to overcome a debilitating case of claustrophobia, which made putting on his space suit almost impossible. And during the fall, he started to spin out of control and had to figure out how to stop it. He risked exposure to the vacuum of space which could have caused his blood to vaporize. He had to tolerate extremely low temperatures (-91.8 F) which might freeze his equipment or him. And an accidental deployment of his parachute at such a high altitude would have been disastrous.<\/p>\n<p>Yet, he did it. And made it look easy. Here are a few of the things Felix Baumgartner said about the experience that we think easily apply to the challenges small business owners face every day:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cIt\u2019s way more difficult than anything I have done before.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere was a time I really thought I was in trouble. I had to decide to fight all the way down and I finally got stable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI had a system to achieve this. I break things into portions. I don\u2019t look at the end result, just always looking for the next task.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe exit was perfect but then I started spinning slowly. I thought I\u2019d just spin a few times and that would be that, but then I started to speed up. It was really brutal at times. I thought for a few seconds that I\u2019d lose consciousness&#8230; It was really a lot harder than I thought it was going to be.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSometimes you have to be really high to see how small you really are.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI couldn\u2019t have done it without my team. Everyone joining my dream. We were on top of the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t live life as a spectator. Always examine life. Espouse new ideas. Long for\u00a0new things, constantly discovering new interests, escaping from boring\u00a0routines. Engage life with enthusiasm\u2014grasping life aggressively and squeezing\u00a0from it every drop of excitement, satisfaction, and joy. The key to unleashing life\u2019s potential is attitude.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u2014Felix Baumgartner, Daredevil Sky Diver<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Okay, technically he wasn\u2019t talking about business success, per se.
