What is common between paragliding and launching a project?

Last summer, a considerable part of my time was devoted to the sky, paragliding. I dreamed of flying since childhood, and after jumping with a parachute I fell ill completely, but besides the amazing feeling of flying, I also found something interesting.

If I ever become a business coach, the first thing I will do is send a person to learn how to fly a paraglider.

So far I have not seen a more suitable analogy with the launch of business projects, which can be experienced physically in a short period of time . In my head, everything falls into place and the correct chain of action priorities is built.

I will describe briefly the process of flight, and you try to connect the fantasy and draw analogies. Sometimes I will prompt.

Market analysis and testing


The first thing you can't fly without is suitable weather conditions.
Wind speed and direction are the main criteria when choosing a place to fly.
If they suit us, we leave. In the first place, we put a “sorcerer” (a special device that looks like a leaky net of light and dense matter) in order to see where the wind is blowing and approximately calculate its strength in order to understand how the paraglider will behave.

Preparing for the launch of the project


Next is the preparation for flight. The layout of the paraglider, lines. A paraglider is always laid out against the wind, so that it is properly filled with air. Also, the size of the paraglider depends on your weight category.

Launch of the project


When the paraglider is laid out, you stand in front of it, pick up the lines and start moving.

The first steps are always the hardest, the paraglider pulls you back and you can literally slip in place. At some point, you completely stop and you just need to wait until the paraglider is in a certain position, and now the main thing is to start to load it again with weight and go forward. Otherwise, the paraglider will simply fall to the ground.

When lifting a paraglider, it can be demolished to the side by the wind and it is necessary to run up to the side of the demolition in order to straighten its position.

Then you just have to run in the direction of the slope to complete detachment from the ground and the beginning of the flight. For a quick climb, you can use extras like a winch or a paramotor.

Project management and analytics system


By inertia paraglider always descends to the ground. In order to stay in the air for a long time, you need to feel and catch the ascending currents. There are two types - dynamic and thermal air currents. Also in the air there are other types of air flow - for example, turbulent, where you can shake.

It is very important to have a dashboard with you - a means of objective control of flight parameters: altitude, speed of ascent and descent, pressure, time, air temperature and much more.

And finally: never forget about the reserve, so as not to break.
