The Daily Founder Day 021: Tell Me A Story

“No matter what you do, your job is to tell your story.” -Gary Vaynerchuk

Storytelling is an essential skill for any founder and leader to communicate effectively. Pitches, presentations, leading people, …. it all comes down to how well you can tell your story.

So what’s your story?

• What’s the clear central message/plot point/moral?
• What’s the conflict/obstacle/hardship that’s overcome in your story?
• Is the structure clear? Beginning (inciting incident leading into rising action), middle (building to a climax and twists), end (satisfying resolution)?
• Can you tell your story with personal experiences to make it even more relatable?
• Have you considered the specific audience you’re addressing and adapted your story to engage them in the best possible way?

PS: Keep it simple. Remove any details from your story that don’t support your goals.
