This part might take a bit longer than you expect, finding what makes you unique is a ”roll the dice” game, only difference is that every time you roll the dice, you unlock a new number. Let me explain this metaphor.
Finding who you are is something than only you can find, people can help you, guide you, teach you or influence you, but at the end of the day your brain Is only yours, you need to fail and learn from failures to find out what made you and what will make your business/career unique and perfect for the market.
At this point we have probably already have a video-call with you, if not, schedule it with us as soon as possible before the end of this Module’s week. We did/will have something called ”Core Identity Session”
This is a beautiful experience for both of us as we will look deeply into your story and find the real purpose of why you want to pursue your career or business and what is that you can use to get people to be fully loyal towards your cause.
This exercise will:
- Teach you a lot about yourself
- Help you to tell an emotive story about yourself online / onstage
- Be the fuel for incredibly engaging social posts
- Make it easy for you to write a truly captivating professional bio
- Solve the “I don’t know what to write about” problem
We are going to let you the questions from our Core Identity session, think about the answers but wait until we talk to fully develop them:
- What’s your name? Do you like it? Why?
- List (and elaborate on) the five most impressive things you have ever done.
- Write about when you were at your lowest point(s) (big detail)
- What’s something major you’ve struggled with and overcame? (big detail)
