It’s all in the Story You Tell in Your Business

It’s all in the Story You Tell in Your Business

Your gift is hidden within your story.

It’s the meaning that is placed that you place on this story that makes the tale applicable. Everyone has a story. How does it get you to the purpose of your business? Why you do what you do in your business offerings.

That’s why most start a business to share their life experiences with others. To develop a common bond so all can have a unique perspective.  

However, I have found that within their story is a tale of overcoming and resilience. More resilient people seem to be more successful which makes sense. They let nothing get in the way of their business. The goal is always on the other side of hard work. 

The dream fulfilled. 

However, contained in these stories is their gift — the area where when they are in it, they excel. Things go effortlessly while everything falls into place. When you discover your special gift, your business sweet spot, you’ll know it. Looking for an example? https://storybrand.com/how-to-tell-a-story/

Take time, look at your story. What is the overarching message? What did you accomplish using what skill set and how can you teach it to others? What delivery system? 

Take your time and be 100% assured you have a special gift begging to get out. Begging to be shared. 

In full disclosure, when I started the struggle was with what part of my story to tell. And more important how to condense it down. Who would care and why? I missed out on the theme of sharing a story so others could understand they are not alone. That others who may not be where they want to be now have an example to follow.

Truthfully, and I probably shouldn’t admit this but I watched Tony Robbins infomercial over and over. Heck, I even had it on tapa back in the VCR days. (Don’t know what a VCR is…ask you mother.)Wondering when will it be my turn, when will I make it? When will I be featured in his infomercial?

Mindset determines Your Success or Failure

Mindset Matters. Own your mindset

When starting a new business, job, heck meeting a new friend, most allow their inner voice to win. Convince them they don’t belong. They cancel or they go and don’t have a good time.

What do successful people do? They own their thinking. They have learned to silence the inner voice or, at the very least, own it. Control it. No one will be positive every day but they control it.

Everyone gets sad, or negative. Successful people only allow a set amount of time for negatively and wallowing. They may say, I’ll be negative for 30 min, 2 hour, heck even a day. But thats it. Its back to positve.

You know what they say, control your mind or it’ll control you. Need help? Here’s my ‘Top 10 Success Habits’ MP3 I learned from interviewing countless 6-figure women.

The Imposter Syndrome is real and could be what’s​ holding You back.

Is this what is holding you back from your dreams?

Do you keep trying to move forward yet always feel like an Imposter? Your belief is that your never good enough, smart enough, and, well the list goes on. You hold yourself back from applying for that job, starting your own business, or even going on that date? For fear you are good enough

The 5 types of Imposter Syndrome typically start at childhood. From being raised in a family where a person never really met the bar. Maybe there was gifted sibling in music, school, athletics, well you get the idea.

In my family, one sibling was great at athletics and the other was great at music, athletics and smart. Good grief, Then, there as me, the classic underachiever. I just couldn’t find my place, my thing. What was my gift? The other two were revered so I just ‘got by.’ As I got older I found my thing but still wrestle with the Expert Imposter Syndrome.

I have since learned once you recognize which one of the 5 you live in, to me, the healing becomes easy. It was like anepiphany.
