In the hustle and bustle of real estate and entrepreneurship, we often find ourselves chasing after success like trackers pursuing a lion in the wild. It’s a captivating analogy, laden with imagery that speaks to our need for perseverance and clarity. But what if I told you there’s a deeper layer to this pursuit, a path less traveled yet profoundly transformative?
In Boyd Varty’s book, “The Lion Tracker’s Guide to Life”, he introduces us to the concept of “the path of not here.” It’s not just about following tracks; it’s about deciphering the spaces where the lion isn’t. As business owners, embracing this concept can be a game-changer in our quest for fulfillment and authenticity.
Trackers and the Path of Not Here
Master trackers possess a rare gift – the ability to discern not only where the lion HAS tread but also where it HAS NOT. It’s a skill born from deep attunement to the rhythms of the wilderness, an intuitive knowing that guides them along the true path.
Similarly, in our entrepreneurial journey, we must learn to navigate the path of “not here”. It’s about recognizing the distractions, the false trails, and the noise that threaten to derail us from our purpose. Just as a tracker remains steadfast in the face of uncertainty, we too must cultivate the courage to stay true to our vision amidst the chaos of our world.
Embracing the Journey
The path of not here isn’t just about avoidance; it’s about intentional living. It’s about choosing authenticity over appeasement, courage over comfort. As leaders, it means staying grounded in our values, setting boundaries to protect our energy, and saying no to anything that doesn’t align with our true calling.
Utilizing Trackers in Our Business
Integrating the wisdom of trackers into our business practices can be a revelation. Implement tracking systems to monitor key metrics and indicators of success. Surround yourself with a tribe of fellow trackers – individuals who share your vision and champion your journey. Together, we can create a community of accountability and support, where everyone is empowered to thrive.
So, in the realm of real estate and entrepreneurship, let us heed the call of the lion trackers. Let us embrace the path of not here, forging ahead with clarity, conviction, and unwavering faith in our own worthiness. By adopting this unique trait of master tracker in the wilderness, we can chart a course towards success that is as authentic as it is fulfilling.
So let’s step boldly onto the path of not here, and walk with the knowing that we are exactly where we need to be.
