I’ve read and re-read The Go-Giver: A Little Story About a Powerful Business Idea, a beautiful parable by Bob Burg, several times and each time I’m reminded of key lessons that serve as the foundation for my business, and life.

Create movement & energy with a small choice
When you stop intentionally making choices, your life halts. With ambivalence and indecision, you become stagnant and lose your ability to act with purpose. When you’re feeling stuck, making a proactive choice instantly creates movement and energy that ripples outward, shifting the terrain so that new opportunities and routes forward are exposed.
This is true for proactive choices of all sizes. Instead of standing paralyzed when big choices feel overwhelming or unreachable, you can create momentum by zooming in on a smaller choice that brings you back into a position of control.

What if the story you so cleverly concocted isn’t true anymore and doesn’t serve who you are at this time?⠀
Mapping: Gratitude and Possibility
My very first map set me on my journey of exploring choices – both mine and others. The red box on the left notes a choice I made in 2013 to attend an out-of-the-box coaching event. From that event, and the people I met, more opportunities and people began to show up.
Creating this map provided me with a concrete vehicle to document and make sense of seemingly unrelated ideas and experiences floating in my head which allowed me to see how they were related. Each branch represents a new person, experience or opportunity that I either created intentionally or that showed up magically. ⠀⠀
