The Story Mindset: The Quest
Manage episode 385015654 series 3449532
In this episode of "Elevate and Accelerate," we delve deeper into "The Story Mindset." Continuing our exploration of the elements that constitute a compelling narrative, we examine why it is imperative for business owners, entrepreneurs, and growth-minded individuals to craft their own story. Without taking control of our narrative, someone or something else may shape it for us.
Today, we dissect the common factors underlying every hero's journey and together, we'll explore Joseph Campbell's "The Hero With A Thousand Faces" to glean insights into how we can forge our unique hero journey. The question arises: Why is this knowledge necessary? An excellent query! We are all living a story, and either we actively construct it day by day, year by year, or it runs the risk of being authored by external forces with interests misaligned with our own. Aim high, take the reins, and compose your own best-selling life.
Welcome to the journey. Settle in, buckle up, and immerse yourself in the experience. Enjoy the ride.
