Have You Shared Your Story Yet?

Many people try to grow their online presence —
trying to build something unique.

Yet they tell stories that everybody has heard before.

You could share your story.
Tell what happens in your life.

It’s hard to do, so maybe —
you think there is no story to tell.
You have nothing interesting to share.
Or you think that it’s scary.

You don’t want to tell your story to nobody.

I understand all that.

But here’s the question:
Why did you start?

What made you want to start this business in the first place?

There was a spark.
There was something painful that made you take action.
Where you no longer could watch and do nothing.

That’s your story.

What happened?

Just share that.

You might not get many views and hate doing it.
You would tell that story to your grandma very calmly.
So getting 1 view on it is already one more person.

I will assure you:
Doing it for long enough will get you more than one view.

Just tell your story and not someone else’s.

I always enjoy watching people’s stories.
How they think. Dream. Talk.
What they do.

It’s those stories that we tell by a bonfire.

Where strangers become best friends overnight.

Sharing stories is about bonding over shared ideas, dreams, hopes—
and also shared pain, heartbreak, and suffering.

That’s what makes a story.

Find your story and share that to the world.
Then you will learn about so many other people going through the same thing.

Building a business is about helping people.
Sharing your story is the clearest commitment to do so.

    All fathers I know want to leave their kids better off. They think about the legacy they leave behind. Many of those fathers think about starting a business. That’s what I also started out with.

  • To Give is to Get

    Hey Reader, How often have you heard:“But he did it first!” Many kids justify their actions as reactions.They say, look at the other person… they are so much worse than I am. We see this today with adults, too—when they put blame on others as an excuse for their bad behavior. It makes me sad to see it in the news every day: “I’m not to blame.” “He was already doing it.” “I’m not as bad as he is.” These are all statements of giving back what you’ve received—with the point of escape or…

    Simple Scales, Fancy Fails This is a saying that has stuck with me for a while now. I don’t remember when I heard it first. It is an excellent reminder. I tend to overthink, overplan, overanalyze, and overdo many things in my life. There is a sense of perfection. It really has to be all prepared. Every detail has to look seamless. It should look cool. For it just to work is not good enough. Since hearing “Fancy Fails, Simple Scales” I keep reminding myself of that. We always keep thinking of…
