ONCE UPON A TIME....
ONCE UPON A TIME...
If you are like most people, these words have , since childhood, heralded the promise of another world...a world of imagination where anything can happen and usually does!
If you are like most people, when you hear those words, you immediately lean forward, attentive, alert, just waiting for what comes next. It doesn't matter your age, the promise of a story will always capture your attention. Yes, even you, you savvy successful, serious business person!!
Well, if it's true for most people, and you know it's true for you, why aren't you harnessing the power of the story to have people on the edge of their chairs, waiting for the next words to come out of your mouth? (And they won't be sitting there trying to think up excuses or comebacks that will stop you in your tracks. They will actually be listening! )
Why? Because their subconscious was programmed at a very early age to LISTEN carefully when the promise of a story comes along...to sit still, FOCUS and wait expectantly, and with suspended disbelief, for what they are about to hear.
What does this mean for your business? Simply this. A story is worth a thousand presentations on the company and the comp plan. Use a story anytime, anywhere to take people back to that place where they are wanting and willing to believe that everything is possible. And when they hear your story, and find out that you have found your own happy ending, they will know they want one too. Their dreams will stir within them again. They will feel again the pure joy of believing that anything truly IS possible!
And the real happy ending of this story is that you are part of a community and a system that can help them find their way to that magic life they had almost given up ever finding.
Your life is your story. Make it everything you ever dreamed of, ever wished for on a star!
And then help others do the same.
