Your story is special.
But 97% of people struggle to share theirs. The result?
They never get noticed.

I used to hate telling my story.
But the reality is stories are magnetic -people are drawn to the tale they want for themselves.
Don't let these doubts get in your way:

Don't let these doubts get in your way:
“No one cares.”
You’ll be surprised.
Somewhere, there’s someone going through what you’ve been through.
The same challenges. Doubts. Fears and dreams. They want to hear yours. They need to.
A great story doesn't need to change the world.
Just one person.

“I’m not interesting.”
One of my best stories is about reading books.
Yes.
I can feel the excitement.
The truth is relatability wins. Often the best stories are the most simple.
Try this:
Write 1 thing that happens to you per day. You'll begin to collect more.

“I'll be judged.”
You’re right.
People can’t help themselves.
But opinions are like arseholes - everyone’s got one and everyone thinks everyone else’s stinks.
Aim to please everyone and you please no one. Focus on who benefits, not who complains.

“I don’t like talking about myself”
We’ve all been there.
Stuck with someone who loves the sound of their voice.
The key is balance.
“I did this so YOU should do that.”
“X went terribly, here’s my advice to help YOU”.
Look at the 2nd tweet of this thread for an example.

"I'm not a good storyteller."
6 months ago, I wasn't either.
The truth?
Storytelling is a skill. You need to practice.
It helps to start small. You can tell a story in a tweet (I'll give you 3 examples tomorrow - keep an eye out).

“It’s too uncomfortable.”
My story reached 1.5 million people – but it took me 4 months to post.
(after my gf gave me the push)
So I get it. You're exposed. Vulnerable.
But look. The hardest stuff to write is what people need to hear the most.
Don't let fear hold you back.

“I haven’t accomplished anything."
… Yet.
Your action today shapes your story tomorrow.
And the best stories are told in real-time.
So, decide to do something awesome. Be bold. Share your journey.
You've got one life. Write something epic.
