Have you ever walked through a labyrinth? Getting lost within its tall leafy walls somewhere on the the European continent can be frightening. Less so, are the rocky edges found across American deserts such as the one pictured here in Phoenix, Arizona.
When I walk it, I state an intention or pose a question. Poof!! I receive a clue that I follow, without questioning the universe or multiverse. Depends who I ask.
Such structures, tall or short, multi-route or single are more confusing than others. Simultaneously, we love and hate them.

We marvel at them in all season. In the summer, we reach our highest expression, and in the fall reflect upon our thoughts and experiences. In the winter, we store them in time for hibernation. Our expression sprouts in the spring with the cycle repeating itself.
The cyclical expression in business is no different.
When we are demonstrating our value proposition to prospect clients the easiest way to do it -- for proving my value -- is to identify my role in their gap. Let's say on a good day, my client's output is 97% and on the bad it is only 93%. My value is in their 3 or 7%. It may be a small figure. Yet it is significant. This value is the difference in the material used for home insulation or how to tune a guitar. We can come up with different examples. But you get the point.

The language of business is full of metaphors, of possibilities, for all seasons. These possibilities are found in any labyrinth of your choosing. When we adjust the lens, and raise our consciousness to another level we can clearly see through the changing glass.
