Not another book about storytelling


I know what you're thinking...


Not another book about storytelling.


When marketers see a new trend, they jump on it like ants at a picnic.


"Experts" come out of the woodwork after watching a few YouTube videos.


They use ChatGPT to create a generic course they want to sell to you for $1997.


They'll offer to write stories for you even though they don't share their stories on LinkedIn or SubStack.


If you are a storytelling expert, why aren't you writing stories every day?


Yes, storytelling is a very hot trend.


There are 2,800,000 people on LinkedIn with the word "story" in their profile.


My LinkedIn inbox has hundreds of messages from "storytelling" experts promoting their offers.


Donald Miller created StoryBrand in 2010 and is considered to be the Cadillac of storytelling courses.


He's considered to be "THE" storytelling expert.


He's been writing stories and certifying thousands of students for 15 years.


My friend Tom Ruwitch is also a storytelling expert.


After selling his business a few years ago, he created Story Power Marketing.


I was blunt with him.


"Why are you trying to compete with millions of storytelling "experts"?


What makes you different?"


The story is the nucleus -- the core -- of all of your marketing.

If that core doesn't have enough power, nothing else will work.

That's why we start with the story. That's what makes us different.

We've honed our approach over the decades.

And we now have a unique, proven process to discover your business story, diagnose the weaknesses, power-up your messages, and keep the power running.


Tom writes stories every day.


He's always looking for ways to improve his storytelling formula.


Tom's new book,
Story Power Marketing, shows you how to create compelling stories to promote your business.


This month, Story Power Marketing is our featured book in the
Mastermind Book Club.


Tom and I created the Mastermind Book Club a few years ago because we love to read.


If you don't have time to read the book, we read it for you, then we have a group discussion.


On Thursday January 23rd at 11:30 AM Pacific/1:30 PM Eastern, we will discuss Story Power Marketing.

I've been very quiet for months. I'm not ignoring you. The major shifts by Google, Facebook and social media engagement has consumed me. AI has consumed me. So many opportunities. So many platforms. The AI explosion reminds me of the internet 1.0 boom. In the late 1990s, everyone was racing to jump on the internet bandwagon. So many opportunities. So many ideas. A friend left a stable job at Chevron to join a dot com startup. Within a year, his stock options were worth $75 million... ...on...

A golden new year's eve with the number 2055 on it

I'm not a fan of New Year's resolutions. I know New Year's is about a fresh start for many people. What are your New Year's resolutions? Be honest... Have you ever followed through on a New Year's resolution? Me neither. That explains why gyms are full of new faces in January. By February, the new faces are gone. Why do New Year's resolutions fail? I asked our old friend ChatGPT why New Year's Resolutions fail and the answers are pretty obvious. 1. Unrealistic Goals Setting goals that are too...
