My book reflection of Trap Tales - Outsmarting the 7 Hidden Obstacles to Success. After reading this book, you will be an expert “Trapologist.” You’ve got to love the catchy names authors create to suit the content of their work – Trapologist. It sold me! But seriously it's a good little read with value to be had. The authors describe a trap as being seductive, deceptive, sticky and limiting. Many of us fall into these common life traps. These include The relationship trap, the money trap, the focus trap, the change trap, the learning trap, the career trap, and the purpose trap. Have a listen to my full review here.
Running a company can sometimes feel like a treacherous journey. A bad financial decision will cost you a ton of money. If you don’t give enough attention to your relationships, you might lose your family. And a lack of focus sucks away precious time. It’d be so much simpler if you had a map to guide you through it. Some sort of blueprint to show you where you might fall so you can avoid the hassle of trying to dig your way out. That’s why I’m thrilled about this episode of the Building a StoryBrand podcast with David Covey and Stephan Mardyks, co-authors of Trap Tales: Outsmarting the 7 Hidden Obstacles to Success. In this episode, they highlight the major traps business leaders slip into and show you how to steer clear of them.
