“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” - Theodore Roosevelt

"Cater your story to your audience." It's kinda like a luxury SUV. It can go off-road (for a casual setting). It can be classy (for those professional settings). And, it can host a family (for the PG version). Most importantly, it should always be polished. Stop making up stories off on the spot when you know you've told them over and over. Take the time to make them meaningful and impactful.
"From personal to professional and all between, stories bridge the gap." Context is a key component to building that bridge.
Method - "Blogs and social media made it clear that how you tell your story matters."
- How will you deliver your story - video, text, or audio.
- Use the modality that you're most comfortable working in.
Type - "Telling the story right is just as important as telling the right story."
- Classy, casual, family, reviews, comedic, sales - what is the setting for the delivery of your story?
- Be able to deliver at least a short and a long version.
Reason - "Stories instruct where facts fail."
- Why are you telling the story - performance, persuasion, or perspective?
- Focus on the outcome you're after.
"Stories are our primary tools of learning & teaching, the re-positioning of our lore and legends. They bring order into our confusing world. Think about how many times a day you use stories to pass along data, insights, memories, or common-sense advice." - Edward Miller
"Be an avid collector of your experiences." To do this, story databases are your secret weapon. Keep your experiences and the stories you hear and read about in a journal, email account, or software. (I recommend Evernote.) And, when it's time to share your story, use a structured storytelling system until you've created your own style. Actually, I build a system around the word. You've just gone through it. It's called the STORY framework. Make a Statement. Tell a story. Cover the Opportunity, Objections, and Obstacles. Review what you covered and offer a testimonial/case study Reviews. Give an easy YES.
That said... This week, add five stories to your database. They can be new stories or old stories. Your stories or borrowed stories. Real events or made up. Add your top five stories to your database and massage the wording for a new context. If you have a casual version, modify it for a professional setting. If you have a story for a selling situation, practice telling it as a family story. How would you change your story from a persuasive tone to a performance? You may never use the story in the other setting. But you'll learn a new dynamic to your story that will improve your delivery in the way you use it.

A lot of people hate sales. I used to be one of them. I was uncomfortable talking to people. In the mid-2000's I learned how to be a transaction engineer. My mentors taught me to be so confident in my ability to help people get solutions to their problems that all I had to do was listen to them talk. I used that skill to walk into people's homes with blank real estate contracts and walk out of them with signed contracts. Sales aren't so much about overcoming a bunch of objections. When you learn how to handle those objections upfront, closing a sale is about problem-solving.
That means you must learn how to listen. Then, craft a presentation based on all of the feedback you've received. That's the simplified version. And, I sound kinda arrogant. Sadly... I was. But, I've learned my lesson. Actually, I've learned three major lessons from the two webinars I've created. Today, I'm gonna give you the goods.
In 2018, I wrote my first webinar
-
used the Perfect Webinar Script
-
recorded it week after week
-
made more sales at in-person events
Had to do something different the next time
-
still running the first webinar
-
never drove traffic
-
set it and forgot it
3 thing I changed moving forward with this webinar
-
More attendees
-
livestream on FaceBook (Dekesha Williams)
-
part of email series in a book funnel and sales funnel (Taki Moore)
-
offer on sales presentations
-
More practice
-
8-minute presentation on Brain Prompts (Jaime Cross)
-
whiteboard session for 45 minutes (Dan Henry)
-
create a better offer aka "deal" 75 minutes (Dave Dee)
*made the right offer (Pia Silva)
-
More engagement
-
set expectation from the beginning (Russell Brunson)
-
ask & wait (Trevor Otts)
-
acknowledge & respond (Ty Cohen)
-
increases your enthusiasm
Announce everywhere, get better, and be engaged. These are about marketing and sales. The message is clear. It's not about presenting the message persuasively.

Janell Jones is on a mission. Born into poverty and raised in the projects of Columbus, Ohio, Janell lost her father and sister to inner-city violence as a child. A teenage mother at 17, she was nonetheless determined to live a different life than the one she saw played out around her. That determination took Janell from an online associate’s degree in psychology to a Master’s degree in social work. Even after she landed what she thought was her “dream job” and made a good home for her children, she discovered a deeper dream buried within her—Janell made the decision to follow her passion.
She started a business and wrote the book that was burning inside her. Today, Janell is a life-coach, published author, social work professional, founder of a publishing company, and a speaker with an urgent message for others: You have the ability to choose. In her new release, “It All Begins With You!” Janell shares the amazing story of how she took the leap that awakened her to her purpose and destiny.
