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.

  • Should you be authentic?

    Hey Reader, No matter where I look right now, people tell me to be more authentic. Is that really helpful though? I don’t think so. Let me explain why. Being authentic could mean that you’re relatable and personal. It is to be honest. This is what I would understand as being authentic. There is also a different meaning to it. Not many people would describe it as such, but you can observe the behaviors. In reality, a person says “I’m authentic” when they give their unfiltered opinion. Being…

You can tell fast which small accounts don’t work — because they tell you. With bigger accounts, it’s getting harder to see the difference. The funny thing is: A lot…
