<h2 style="text-align: center;">Attraction Marketing Excellence Means<br />
Learning The Power Of &#8220;Story&#8221;</h2>
<p>Reading this in a recent post got my attention:</p>
<p><em>&#8220;Folks, I branded myself, built my website, managed the newsletter and then made HUGE MONEY in direct sales – while working 40 hours per week as a high school science teacher!&#8221;</em></p>
<p>Taken from Melanie&#8217;s post entitled &#8220;<a href="http://bit.ly/PowerOfStory" target="_blank">What does this Woman know about the power of persistence</a>?,&#8221; I learned several lessons in my journey to discover and practice more about excellence in my journey of attraction marketing.</p>
<h3>Two Immediate Lessons</h3>
<p>The power of a personally based, well written:</p>
<ol>
<li>Title</li>
<li>And &#8220;Summary-leading-to-action&#8221; sentence.  (Isn&#8217;t that a great sentence? Totally motivating.)</li>
</ol>
<h3>Several Additional Lessons About The Power of &#8220;Story&#8221;</h3>
<ul>
<li>&#8220;Personal&#8221; is always good &#8212; if it&#8217;s a good story and if it&#8217;s told well.</li>
<li>Transparencey &#8212; with control &#8212; is very good.  Transparency out of control is what?  Answer: disaster.</li>
<li>The importance of reflecting the whole idea of &#8220;being real.&#8221;  In sharing her ups and downs (and somewhat in-betweens), I felt like: &#8220;real person, real journey, not fake.&#8221;</li>
<li>Links included in the post without being a totally annoying link overkill in the process! Enough to take not of them and possibly arouse curiosity, but stopping very short of annoying.</li>
<li>A well designed sequence within the framework of the story.</li>
</ul>
<h3 style="font-size: 1.17em;">And Speaking Of A &#8220;Well Designed Sequence,&#8221; Here&#8217;s The Sequence</h3>
<ol>
<li>Saying how things &#8220;<strong>were</strong>.&#8221;</li>
<li>Moving from there to &#8220;how things began to <strong>change</strong>.&#8221;</li>
<li>Then on to &#8220;how things are <strong>now</strong>.&#8221;</li>
<li>And finally &#8220;here&#8217;s how to see if we could be a team&#8221; (i.e. the <strong>invitation</strong>).</li>
</ol>
<h3 style="font-size: 1.17em;">Your Turn&#8230; What Will You &#8220;Take Away?&#8221;</h3>
<p>What will you take away from this short review of important aspects to consider when telling our stories for the purpose of making and impact or creating a favorable response on the part of the hear(s)?  Make it happen: record on your own or think through three ideas <em>now</em>.</p>
<p>1.</p>
<p>2.</p>
<p>3.</p>
<p>Where <em>could</em> you tell your story?</p>
<p>Where <em>should</em> you tell part of your story?</p>
<p>If told, is your story <em>sequenced</em> properly revealing excellence in marketing?</p>
