What’s The Desire Map All About?
Traditional goal-setting? Throw that out the window. The Desire Map flips the script on how we chase our dreams. Instead of focusing on what we want to achieve, we start with how we want to feel.
Core Concept: Feelings First
The traditional approach tells you to set goals like:
Get a promotion
Save $10,000
Run a marathon
But The Desire Map asks: How do you want to FEEL while doing all of that?
Maybe you want to feel:
Powerful
Free
Abundant
Courageous
When you lead with feelings, suddenly your goals aren’t just checkboxes. They’re expressions of your most authentic self.
