The Hero’s Journey - Stage 08: The Showdown

Once your audience revisits their Approach, it oftens accelerates their journey towards the one big challenge they’ve been leading up to through the entire Hero’s Journey.

The eighth stage of the Hero’s Journey is the Showdown.

It’s the fire-breathing dragon that represents their greatest fears or biggest crisis.

It’s also often the one thing standing in their way between their current situation and true success.

What is the fire-breathing dragon that represents the greatest obstacle or challenge your audience is facing that’s keeping them from true success?

This isn’t a hard stage to describe: it’s the heavyweight death match that your audience is dreading. This is the fight that will define who they are and why they even started on this journey in the first place.

And, it’s unavoidable. The good news is the reward for winning the fight is a life your audience can only dream of right now.

As the mentor, you can’t fight the dragon for your audience, but you can show them the best way you know how to fight and defeat the greatest obstacle so they can start enjoying the life they really want to experience.
