My journey…

The hero’s journey is really misnamed. It should be called the “normal” Joe and “normal” Jane Journey. The hero’s journey sounds like something for only a few. This journey IS for all of us. In the “new” workbooks that will be fully baked by October you will find the hero’s journey in at least twenty BTL flavors. Hopefully these stories will inspire you. Here’s the back end of mine…

Enjoy.

…The BTL journey has been the berries. I’ve been fired for wearing jeans, for talking about God too much, and for telling people the TRUTH when they were unaccustomed to hearing it. I’ve also been there when brothers reconciled, when dead people WOKE UP, when countless became BTL, and when the BTL team attracted other partners. Who knew?

I had no idea. I had no plan. I still don’t. I simply DREAM and do. I choose to ACT.

I fall early and often. I keep getting up. I understand that perpetual “up and to the right” is a myth in work and life. I’m alright with that. I’m getting comfortable in my own skin and I’m helping my family, friends, and clients do the same. I get to be there when dead people WAKE UP. I do not think much about the future. I am too interested in today. I am learning and loving my work and life. I write, TALK, and ACT. As I choose to do this REAL, HARD, WORK something magical happens. Life gets easier. My BIG dreams get clearer; clarity is a good thing.

I’ve never had so much energy and passion. I’ve never been so satisfied, content, and challenged. I have a team of true friends in work and life that are my truth tellers even when it’s HARD. I have a long way to go. I’m alright with that too.

Leaders are believers. I am living proof of the power of belief. Thank you, Mom. I am living my MAGNUM OPUS and those that matter know it. I guess that’s enough for me.

THANK YOU MISS.

Are you on your hero’s journey?

Are you failing early and often?

Are you experiencing quick death, quick death, quick death, and then a burst of LIFE? Tell me more.

Are you surrounded by enablers or truth tellers? How do you know?

Do you have a BIG dream for something besides your work?

Do you know what you are willing to get fired for?

Would you follow you?

Slow down and reflect.

Do NOT forget, however, to ACT.
