Metaphors are only useful if we can move them from the esoteric into something actionable. So let's make it practical. I've outlined three examples of places where agents and leaders tend to focus on the turn they are in rather than the trail they're on.

They come for the information, but it's the stories that hold memory.
I frequently tell agents to find activities and systems that align with who they are to increase the likelihood of execution rather than avoidance. Don't like door knocking? Don't. Are you more comfortable doing open houses? Do that. I'm taking my own advice.
