Books & Brew: The Big Leap by Gay Hendricks
Take a moment to think about how you spent yesterday. How much of it was work only you can do, the kind that makes time disappear and leaves you with more energy than you started with? And how much of it was work you are simply good at, that pays the bills, and that quietly wears you down?
Gay Hendricks says most of us build an entire business in that second category. He calls it the Zone of Excellence, and it is the most comfortable trap an entrepreneur can fall into. You are good. You are paid. You are stuck. The Big Leap is about finding your Zone of Genius, the narrow band of work only you can do, and then getting out of your own way long enough to build around it.
That is the book we just opened at Books & Brew, and the timing is right for you to join. We are only a chapter in, so you are not behind.
Books & Brew is the morning side of the conversation. Good coffee, one good book, and a table of business owners, professionals, and readers who like to think out loud before the day gets loud. It is facilitator-led and unhurried. We take one chapter at a time, so you never have to finish the book to pull up a chair and add something to the discussion.
Here is what you will get:
A guided discussion on one chapter, with ideas you can put to work before lunch
Fresh coffee and an hour that sharpens your thinking instead of draining it
Honest talk with other owners about the work you should stop doing and the work you should do more of
One question to carry into your week
Bring your copy of the book if you have one. If you do not, come anyway and we will catch you up.
Grab a cup, grab a chair, and come find out which zone you have been living in. Then let’s talk about the leap.
