❓What do you believe that most people don’t?
— Kieran Drew (@ItsKieranDrew) April 19, 2023
People want to validate their beliefs with your content. They don't want boring opinions.
Keep repeating your bold point of view. https://t.co/3o7mwpp4jO -
❓ What's the one piece of advice you'd give to someone 2 steps behind (and why)?
— Kieran Drew (@ItsKieranDrew) April 19, 2023
There're thousands of people struggling with a problem you solved.
The most useful stories are the most interesting. https://t.co/iGU3EObc3P -
❓ What ONE habit changed your life?
— Kieran Drew (@ItsKieranDrew) April 19, 2023
You'll be surprised how much people resonate based on habits alone.
Pick a couple.
Write about them often. https://t.co/W8Ul6EUCqI -
❓ What pisses you off about the world and why?
— Kieran Drew (@ItsKieranDrew) April 19, 2023
Nothing unites people more than a common enemy.
Pick a fight with what pisses you off most. https://t.co/Hy31cvyq4l -
❓ What previous belief have you realised was incorrect?
— Kieran Drew (@ItsKieranDrew) April 19, 2023
We live at a time where everyone is telling everyone else they're wrong.
Slice through the noise.
Show why you're wrong instead. https://t.co/cWWETfEbNb -
❓ Who was the biggest influence in your life?
— Kieran Drew (@ItsKieranDrew) April 19, 2023
Most people make this storytelling mistake:
Focusing on themselves.
The 'guide' is a pivotal part of the Hero's Framework. Imagine Star Wars minus Yoda or LOTR minus Gandalf.
Be humble enough to share who helped. https://t.co/2BdcezH8ux -
❓ What's the biggest challenge you've faced?
— Kieran Drew (@ItsKieranDrew) April 19, 2023
Your audience wants to hear what you've learned through what you've overcome.
Remember:
Success doesn't make a good story.
Struggle does. https://t.co/ZWowfpi3aX -
❓ What do you value most in life and why?
— Kieran Drew (@ItsKieranDrew) April 19, 2023
Deep down we're all driven by similar motivations.
When you can articulate your why, you attract those who feel the same. https://t.co/EutwzrbdE8 -
❓What's your biggest mistake?
— Kieran Drew (@ItsKieranDrew) April 19, 2023
We might follow them, but it's hard to care about the 'perfect' person on an emotional level.
Share your flaws.
Show you're human. https://t.co/p4LQ3s923l -
