The fifth stage of the Hero’s Journey is crossing the first threshold. It’s where your audience leaves their ordinary world or everyday routine and starts going in a new direction.

What is the first step or crossing of the threshold of the journey where your audience knows things are starting to be different?

Maybe it’s starting a new workout routine or going to counseling or delegating more responsibilities to start building a team instead of trying to do it all on your own.

Whatever it may be, it requires courage to take the first step. And, it’s where your support as their new mentor is so important.

Be there for them today. Encourage them. Check in with them. Make that call. Send that email. Show up in their messages.

Crossing the Threshold is about recognizing that your audience’s path looks different than before, and you’re going to be with them every step of the way.
