Jonathan Mead – Trailblazer

Will you accept and become the trailblazer you were born to be?

We are in need of defiant souls, those courageous enough to reject the status quo, leave the work-to-survive world behind and forge their own path.

But when it comes to getting paid to serve the world with your unique gifts, there’s one endeavor that separates the valiantly triumphant from the never ending wanderers.

This one thing is so important, so critical, that it can mean the difference between forging a path directly to your legacy work or a life where you’re constantly wandering, never quite sure where you’re going or when you’ll get there.

Of course, I’m talking about your Foundational Training.

Through this training, you mature from operating as an amateur to operating as a professional. You stop working from a place of fear (working to survive) and start working from a place of courage. Work becomes an expression of your deepest purpose.

However, because most people neglect this important initiation period, they never know where they’re going.

• They don’t know what their passion is.
• They don’t know how to present their gifts in a way where their value is clearly seen.
• They don’t know what tribe or community they’re meant to serve.

This Foundational Training is so important, but most people brush it to the side. They want to burn the maps and do it their way.

But before you blaze a trail, you must first know the terrain intimately. Before you can improvise, you must be trained in the traditional rules of engagement.

Trailblazer is a Six Month, in the field training program that’s designed to help you move from indecision to certainty about your path. Each month we give you a very specific mission with training, maps, checklists and case studies to help you move closer to the final culmination: Getting paid to be you.

But before I dive in to everything you get, let’s address the two core challenges: direction and a road map.

In order to actually make this pursuit successful, you need to have remarkable clarity in two areas:

1. You need to know your No End Path. This involves your passion, your unique gifts to the world and who you wish to serve.
2. You need to know your message. Without a clear, concise message you’ll struggle to set yourself apart from the masses.
3. You need to know with absolute certainty that the path you’re on is the right one for you.

Without a focused direction for your work, you’ll end up spinning your wheels. You need to know with absolute certainty that the path your on is the right one for you.

Your message is the fuel behind what you do; it’s a rallying cry for your tribe. It gets you excited, it’s magnetic and it attracts the right type of person.

These two things are critical to your success. When they work together, a beautiful symphony of passion and focus is composed.

If you don’t have this part nailed down, it’s easy to run in circles, stuck on a road to nowhere, never making any real progress with your business. Trailblazer solves that problem by giving you complete certainty in your idea before you start with a comprehensive idea-testing scorecard.

Direction without a well-illustrated map for how to get there is useless. When you’re clear about your world-changing idea, you need a structured plan to help you implement it.

You need to put a foundation under your castle in the sky. You need a practical strategy to accomplish your vision.

Here are a few of the ways we help you with that:

• Each month of Trailblazer has a core mission that keeps you focused and on target for the month. Because focus is so important to us, we never give you more than one mission.
• We give you step-by-step training and checklists that guide you through the work.
• Case studies are included with your training, so you never have to guess how to implement what you’ve learned.

All of these elements (and more) are combined in a unique formula that influences your success.

A solid program without the false promises. We include battle-tested business training.

I’m not here to give you a bunch of sweet-sounding advice that entertains you. Everything I’m about to show you has been tested and proven in the field.

What exactly does that mean?

I have a track-record of helping 93% of my clients build profitable businesses and quit their jobs within a year.

And I built a profitable business before I started helping others.

I’m not a “guru” trying to teach you things he hasn’t done himself. All of what you get here is backed up by results. If it doesn’t get results, we don’t include it.

Take for instance this example: This program is delivered over the course of six months. You can speed it up or slow it down at any time you like, but we’ve found that six months tends to be the perfect amount of time for someone to both find their direction and build their following to launch a product.

We could have done this course in 4-6 weeks, but we knew that would be giving you an unrealistic expectation.

This is just one of the ways we give you business strategies that are proven, rather than selling you false promises.

Each month of Trailblazer has a very specific mission; you complete that mission you get results. It’s as simple as that.
