Core story happens to be a business principle but I’m talking about it as it pertains to writers. And as an extra bonus, Miller goes into website-building, too, and so I took a couple (and by a couple, I mean a lot) of notes.Īnd finally, I came across finding your core story. What writer can resist the hero’s journey? If you’ve ever wondered about your brand and branding in general, here’s something perfect for a writer. But I read the first couple pages because he uses the hero’s journey in his seven steps about building a story brand and getting your message out there. Then I read Building a Storybrandby Donald Miller and if I’m telling the truth here, I just checked it out of the library for Youngest Junior Hall ‘cause I was too cheap to buy every book on those lists. A picture of where I wanted my website to go was forming. So while I was coming up with story ideas, I had Maxwell’s thinking stuff churning in my mind while I zipped.
#The rest of the story zip
(You can still take a look at the great posts if you need idea-generating inspiration you won’t be eligible for prizes but you’re still going to win.) And I would zip over to websites of all these creatives, too. I began thinking about what my success would look like long before I touched my website.Īs 2020 kicked off, I participated over at Tara Lazar’s Storystorm, which is a great way to stockpile ideas and just think. If you want to change up how you think about success, your work, and possibly your life, start with this slim book.
#The rest of the story cracked
Who knew entrepreneurial books could do all that?įirst, I cracked open How Successful People Think by John Maxwell. And I realized that much of what I was reading pertained to me as a business person, a writer, and a productive member of the human race. And after I ordered a couple titles and read the first chapter or two, I was hooked. Because boring business no longer exists, as far as I can tell the best books were about thinking creatively, marketing outside the box, business beyond boundaries.
#The rest of the story pro
I expected titles like, “How to Be a Pro at Marketing and Big Business” which granted, is not very creative but I was thinking like a boring business person.Īt least, I thought I was thinking like a boring business person. I checked entrepreneur websites and a couple of titles kept coming up. So like the good writer that I am, I did my homework. He didn’t ask for specific titles but he did ask for a subject: entrepreneurship and marketing. BUT those are just house-keeping details the bigger picture of how all that revamping came about is, as Paul Harvey used to say, the rest of the story.īack in December, Youngest Junior Hall asked for books under his tree. Last time we were here, I discussed how a link started a chain of events with my website (and honestly, I’m still working to bring all the pieces together).
