At some time in our lives, business or career most of us feel that we have lost the way, unsatisfied with our situation or simply confused about what is the next step, or frustrated at not achieving what we  thought we would. This  also happens with communities. At this point many of us give up and just settle for mediocrity, such as that career or business that seems the most obvious or that others believe we need to do. At this point some of us opt out completely, literally going bush!

This is not a bad thing, however it can be a trap that prevents the realization of our potential so here is a little story to help make sense of what happens.

Going to the wilderness (being lost in mediocrity or settling for second best) has value, at the same time it is seductive, it becomes the answer before you even know what the question is – who am I? what is my value?. You focus on the wilderness because it becomes such a safe or comfortable place to be, in many ways, even though it has got its own challenges. So it becomes both the means to finding the end of a journey but it can also become the end of the journey itself, if you become lost in it for too long.

If you are serious about making a difference in your own life, business or industry – and maybe the life of others – then you will find your way to that through the Map You Course

Map You has created tools that are fun and enlightening to be used within the Map You Course. Stage 1 of the Map You Course is now available and so are the two tools created for this part of the Course. Both the tools and the initial Map You Course can be used independently, of the next stages of the Course, the best results however will be gained from both the tools and the Map You Course when the three stages are undertaken and the complete suite of tools are used. Stage 2 and Stage 3 of the Map You Course and the tools will be released before the end of 2010. View the current Tools.

This area of the Map You Website will also at times provide information on other tools and resources that can be used such as books, websites, articles or other relevant information.
