Van Halen was one of the greatest rock bands of the 1970s and 80s. Although they had a number of popular songs and albums, they are probably best remembered for their song “Jump,” which was featured on what was arguably their best album, 1984.

The word “jump” is not just a great title for a popular rock song. It’s also great advice as you consider your next step to success in your writing life.

One of the defining qualities of successful people—no matter their industry—is that they take action now and figure it out as they go along.

Go ahead and jump!

On today’s episode, you’ll learn that the best thing you can do right now is take action.
