You don’t need Forbes 30 under 30 to have a story worth telling

Are you on Forbes 30 under 30? 

Did you become CEO after like 2 years on the job? 

Did you go to Harvard? 

Did you make 6 figures after 8 months freelancing? 

Did you raise 4 children and then start a billion dollar business on the side? 

Are you the number 1 podcast in your niche?
Did you oversee a team of 500 people and launched the most successful campaign for bla bla bla?

If you answered ‘no’ to most of those, I have something important to tell you: THIS DOESN’T MEAN YOUR STORY IS BORING

What makes the SPARKLE isn’t drama or awards or billion dollar exits or a grammy (altho those all probably help).

But what makes people give a sh*t about your story is when they can relate to you. For example when 

• you are able to pin to those moments when something shifted

• when you had a realization

• when you decided to listen to the calling

It could be a random conversation with a random guy at the copy machine that sparked the biggest plot twist for you. And that’s a story still worth telling.

So here’s what I want you to try:

Your 2-minute story audit:

Think of one decision that led you to where you are today. Not your biggest, most dramatic moment - just one decision. 

Now ask yourself:

• What was I thinking right before I made that choice?

• What shifted for me in that moment?

• What would I tell someone else who was standing in that same spot?
