Tragic stories move audiences but so do heartfelt and uplifting stories. A common story I tell is when I was four years old. I put together a business plan to build a two-tower hotel and resort called Sunnyside Resort and Hotel. I used craft paper and crayons to draw up the two towers complete with an adjoining bridge, spa and restaurant. Even as a young boy I had the entrepreneurial spirit! It’s not a tragic story, but a cute and uplifting one. It creates an impact with the audience I am speaking to. The visuals of my orginal drawings help drive the story home.
Create your own hero’s journey. Star Wars is the perfect hero’s journey tale. One of the exercises I explain on alwaysbesellingsystem.com is to tell the hero’s journey through Yoda’s eyes. Thinking about a story from different angles help you highlight different aspects of the story helping you flesh it out more.
Look from different points of view. It doesn’t always have to be a tragic story, it can be a very uplifting and moving story, as well. Take people on a little journey through that whole process and you will be amazed at the comments that you get back from the audiences after.
