Master Your Story.

I'm an entrepreneur. I'm a husband. I'm a father. I'm a salesperson. I'm a sports enthusiast. I'm a son. I'm a brother. I love empowering others. I'm a foodie. I'm a Christ-follower. I'm a big fan of sushi. I used to be a pastor. I love me some Hulu. I am funny. I used to be really arrogant.

You get the idea. You are MORE than you think you are. The more you put yourself out there, the more opportunities you provide to others to know, like, and trust you for more reasons than just what you sell or offer.

And don't miss this tip...your greatest stories can come from those places you don't let anyone know about. Stop being ashamed and start talking. Stop being angry and start talking. Stop being upset and start talking. When you do you'll notice two things, you will no longer give a stronghold to those feelings over you and you'll help others defeat their greatest fears and worst enemies. 

Why is all of this important? Most people you know and meet don't need what you sell right away. That's a problem for you. If you do nothing, that meeting or relationship goes wasted. But if all you do is continue to sell them, they get offended, annoyed or downright angry. 

Which means that the only way to stay top of mind with your sphere is to become a storyteller! Put yourself out there. When others have reason to like you, you have a much better chance of earning their business or referral. 

I can almost guarantee that the most potent group of people to help grow your business goes more untapped than anything else. You are leaving countless opportunities on the table every single month and it's time to stop the bleeding!

When these four elements are put together, you WILL have the biggest year of your career.
