I am not a parent myself so apart from being on the receiving end of parenthood, I don’t really have any idea what it is like to carry that responsibility and commitment. I know that it takes me enough of my time to develop and maintain a successful career so I can’t even begin to imagine what it is like to be able to do that AND run a family as well.
And so I am always incredibly impressed with people who take on the parenting responsibility and juggle their commitments to also have a successful career and be able to do both equally as well. Of course for many these days it is not a choice but a necessity but even so when someone pulls it off and does so enthusiastically and with a big beaming smile on their face I think it is worth finding out how they do it.
I think Moms are the hardest working group of people on the planet second only to Working Moms and today’s guest is one of the latter. A project manager by day and Mom to 3 young kids every second of what is left at the end of the working day, Chiamaka Okafor is an inspiration. Interestingly she (partially) attributes her ability to be able to pull this off to her use of Mind Mapping and so we manages to track her down to find out exactly how she uses it.
This is a great interview that will cover:

In this episode of the Mind Mapping Show I interview Danny Griffin a successful Real Estate Coach and Mindset Expert who describes himself as an entrepreneurial spirit and has a passion about helping people overcome their psychological obstacles to be the best that they can be.
There are many millions of people out there who use Mind Mapping and you will find that they broadly fall into two different categories about how they took to it. On one hand you have those for whom discovering and then implementing it in their life is a slow burn process – a gradual evolution that may take months or even years. On the other hand you get people who just get it straightaway and immediately start using it. Danny is one of the latter and how he discovered the Mind Map is an interesting story in itself.
This interview is littered with great insights and is highly recommended if you want to hear how Mind Mapping can be used in an entrepreneurial business environment, particularly one dependent of effective planning and process implementation. Here is what else you will discover.
