“The time you want the map is before you enter the woods.”

Today, I’d like to talk to you about this beautiful piece of wisdom from Brendon Burchard, an author and high-performance coach.

Metaphorically speaking, how often do we run headfirst into the woods, only to become lost, distracted, scared, and turned around, before eventually realising we’re no closer to where we’d wanted to be?

Well, the experience and the outcome could be so different if only we started by being fully resourced.

Building or renovating the design of your home is a major commitment on so many levels with 1001 decisions to be made and so many different moving parts to navigate. Often, clients will look to save money by taking on parts of the process themselves.

But here’s the thing - if you’re going to take on the work of a trained professional, then you need the map before you enter the woods.

You can find that map here in this episode. I’ll guide you through the questions you need to ask yourself to truly understand your choices and make sure they lead to the best possible outcome for you.

If you choose to go into the woods, do it with your eyes wide open, full of confidence, and guided by the clarity of your map.

Interested in understanding more about your map? Then I’d love to hear from you so we can explore it together.
