## Resource

Spring is a season of growth — but growth doesn’t happen just because the calendar changes. It happens when you decide to move. In this episode, Sheldon explores why so many safety professionals stay stuck in “learning mode” and never make the leap into leadership. Backed by behavioral research on the intention–action gap, perfectionism, and productive procrastination Spring Forward , he breaks down what’s really holding you back — and how to shift from preparation to execution. More importantly, this conversation goes beyond hustle. It’s about the freedom that comes with ownership: choosing your clients, controlling your schedule, and building a career that gives you options — not just income. If you’ve been thinking about launching or growing your consulting business, this is your nudge to stop collecting knowledge and start building momentum. 🌱 Learn more at sheldon.coach
