I had this thought while reading a friend’s inspirational blog this week:
“Stories are the way we make sense of the divine in ourselves in a manner that makes sense to one another.”
My takeaway as it relates to writing in this space?
- Find a way to give them your story before you give them your headshot.
- Find a way to give them your story before you give them your sales pitch.
- Find a way to give them your story before you get into bed with them.
- Find a way to give them your story before you give them your resume.
- Find a way to give them your story before you send out that Facebook blast.
Take the time to make the relationship. Your experience with your client, fan-base, significant other, or prospective boss will not only exist it will be richer, fuller, and last longer. Hell, you might even enjoy it.
