The Obi Wan to your Luke Skywalker and the original Trailblazer story
Updated: Aug 19, 2020
There is a story that has been handed down through time.
Through thousands of generations and with as many iterations as you can imagine.
It’s the story of the Hero’s Journey… the story of the Trailblazers of the world.
You’ve seen it portrayed in Hollywood hits and it’s been told around every tribal campfire, all the way down to your grandfather’s fishing stories.
Did you think these are just fables and fantasy?
They are anything but that…
These are the stories of people just like YOU.
Maybe a different time or place, slightly embellished and with some supernatural forces...however the essence is the same.
It’s the journey of an unsuspected underdog. Their coming of age and development of profound skill in the face of certain doom and challenges far beyond their current capacity.
You know in your heart that they will prevail against these odds, but the cost is so high, and the path is so unclear, that you still doubt the outcome.
In almost every way, these stories hold metaphors that relate to the entrepreneur’s journey.
Entrepreneurship is uncharted territory.
It’s fraught with uncertainty, disappointment and seemingly insurmountable odds. It’s a blend of having to use intuition, grit, and creativity. And you always have to keep leveling up, or else you’ll fail. It’s simultaneously all business and all personal. There’s almost no dividing line. Your business is a reflection of you, in all its glory and dismay. It’s hard. The marketplace battles seem to be validations or contradictions of personal sentiments and emotions. If you’re an entrepreneur like us you may be feeling the weight of these realities:
It’s all up to YOU
Your family, employee’s, and customers are relying on you to pull it together
Your intuition guides you and tricks you at the same time but it’s all you have to use to navigate the uncertain decisions you face
