Connections come from shared experiences, so when you tell a story, you’re allowing people to relate to you and recognize the similarities you have.
MAIN TAKEAWAYS:
Stories are just snippets of your life that are relatable and allow people to walk alongside you
When we tell stories and share more of ourselves, we show that we are uniquely equipped to serve the clients that we are destined to serve
Before you even start writing stories, start to envision people wanting to hear what you have to say
Release the need to be perfect!
Start with small stories, work your way up to bigger stories
When you are inspired, record a voice memo to yourself to create a story later
