MSL 207 - Starting to Leverage the Story Process to Grow Your Business
Your story will make or break your solopreneur business success, depending on how you use it. If you are intentional about creating a new story about your business, how you sell, how you serve clients, how you deliver value, how you market and promote your business, you'll find each area rewards you with positive results. If your story is defeatist, negative, or self-demeaning, like you're not good enough, and you keep telling that story, you'll see the results in struggle, challenges, and difficulty growing your business. The great news is you can choose the path you want and it's as easy as writing/telling a new story.
Prompt
Get a pen and paper or your journal and write a new story about what you want and why you want it. If it feels good while you’re writing, get more detailed about the story. If you have resistance and feel bad as you write, stay broad. Make soothing statements such as, “I know I’ll get better at this…” or, “I’ll figure this out and I’m doing pretty good right now.” Do it on a regular basis and don’t worry about figuring out the “how” of it all, just keep your emotions positive and enjoy the new story you wish to live. Be open to signs—no matter how subtle—that things are shifting and follow inspirations and be in action when it feels good.
