You will hear people say, oh, the secret to marketing is storytelling. You have to share your story. Let me tell you a little secret. Nobody cares about your story. Your story is irrelevant. The only time your story matters is when your story provides context to the reader about something they care about. Then it's valuable. So what is the secret to sharing your story? You basically want to say, listen, I used to be exactly where you are today. I know the problems you have because I used to have these problems. I know the outcomes that you want because I wanted those same outcomes. And by the way, here are the things that I tried that didn't work for me either. So the whole point of you telling your story is not really to tell your story. It's to help the reader see themselves in your story and have the reader go, oh, I have those same problems. I wanted those same outcomes. I tried those same things, and they didn't work. So it's not about you. It's actually about the reader. That's what allows you to segue into, here are the things that I did differently. And by the way, these are all of the things that I show you how to do as well in our product.
