Chapters
You know, I often think about the whole Builds lead journey and the paradox of the fact that when you come in as a client, depending on where you are in your life and depending on what builder you're working with, and depending on many other factors will determine where you start the journey. A lot of times, every client that signs up, one on one, will go through discovery, and then the builder will talk to them about things in discovery, and then that will lead them to a certain piece of the framework. But there's also something to be said about individuals like yourself who are kind of just reading through this book. Depending on if you're with Built Lead or you're a client, or you're on someone's team, or you're none of the above, and just going through the book for the first time and had no clue what Built Elite was and the way it's designed, you'll find that in the forum, you'll find that in the order of the six pack and the way that the opus lays itself out in the opus documents, and there's just no way around it. It works. We know it works. We have builder journeys, examples of this. And I think whether you follow it step by step or you're working with someone in the Build to Lead community, and you're kind of doing it a little bit out of order, that works, too. And I think it works because each one of the big core essentials of becoming Built to Lead doesn't require you to have anything first, except for one thing, and that's the opus. The opus is the exception, because you can't have an opus unless you first build a strong core, which is why the worldview, identity and principles, the passion, the purpose and the process, those six components, it's why we start there and not with Opus. But you can do any of them. You can start in each one of those, and you can find yourself in one of those for a long time. And a lot of people sit in their worldview for a couple months. You're never done with it. But I think, you know, that's the only exception, is the opus. You want to make sure you're not a dreamer. You got to make sure you're a doer and a dreamer, and you don't start with opus. Now, you can have a love for an opus, but the hard work, it starts with putting pen to paper in the six pack. And I think that process by design works. Why fight it? Check out, you know, all the extra content and examples that you'll find in the forum and get busy working through yours.
