TELLING YOUR STORY IS IN YOUR NATURE.
From the earliest days of humanity, people have told stories to each other. It’s in our nature; we’re hard-wired for telling and listening to stories. We always have, and still do thrive on telling each other stories about our daily lives, our aspirations, our opinions, personal histories, and so much more.
” Stories have existed long before recorded history… From cave painting to novels to movies, stories have always fascinated mankind. Although the methods have changed, the desire to tell and hear stories has remained unchanged, and still greatly impacts the way we look at life.”

THE MOST IMPORTANT SKILL
Learning to tell a compelling story that speaks directly to the interests and needs of potential clients and customers is one of, if not the most important skill we can develop as people with big dreams.
Do you often wish you had better words to describe what you’re offering or writing, what you’re envisioning and most passionate about in your work or avocation? Many talented and skillful people have great companies, books or projects but when someone asks “What do you do?” or “What are you working on right now” they stumble around and never say what they really meant to say — never get to the enticing, memorable, relevant words that would turn the listener into a curious reader, customer, partner or follower who wants to know more.
As Seth Godin says in his best-selling book TRIBES, “Marketing is telling stories that spread.”
If he’s right (I think he is), and that’s what marketing is (I think he’s right), then HOW IMPORTANT is it to learn to tell a story that is WORTH spreading?
Isn’t this something you want to be deeply intentional about? If you hope to draw in the people you most want to work with, you must learn to speak their language.
Describing your product is not good enough; you must learn to tell a story about your products and services, your projects and organizations that connects with the longing, the discontent, the problem in need of a solution that would make someone want to buy what you’re selling.
When you become strong in this one skillset, your business will grow faster as your potential clients understand why you’re the best person to help them.
The beautiful visionary project you’re trying to get off the ground will have a real chance to soar because you’ll know what to say when you’re speaking to potential supporters or customers of all kinds. Telling your story will become something you look forward to, you’re confident about, and you’re proud of. You’ll probably even learn to enjoy the process.
