Ep 47: Turn Your Mess Into Your Message

I've always heard people say these two statements, "turn your mess into your message" and "turn your test into your testimony" and for the longest time, I had no clue what it meant.

It wasn't until many years later when I was sharing a story with a group of people that someone said to me, "you turned your mess into your message" and that's when I got it.

In this episode, I break down how I turned my mess; my struggles, challenges, mistakes, failures and things I have overcome into a powerful message that I share with others. This message has helped people transform their lives and inspired them to do something different.

And here's the thing, YOU CAN TOO! You have a message, you have messages, that people are waiting on you to deliver. You have stories, information, life lessons, things you have overcome that you need to share with others to help them take inspired action.

And even better, you can monetize that message and make a greater impact in the world.

Here's some of what is mentioned in this episode:

[5:37] You have a story, you have many stories, you have what I call champion stories within you. And most of us aren't brave enough to tell those stories. And because you're not telling those stories, you can't be that individual that inspires other people that empowers other people, that ignites something with within other people, because you're keeping those stories to yourself.

[8:46] if I had waited until, you know, I graduated University, to go back and speak to those young people and try to inspire people in my neighborhood, then that would have never happened because I never graduated University. So they'd still be waiting.

[12:50] We all have lessons. We've all been on this journey called life. And no matter how small you think those lessons are, or how small you think that messes, so many other people are going to be able to relate to that. So many other people. I never knew that. I never knew that. And still until I started sharing my message, my messages with people and their reactions.

[14:51] You are unique. You have 10 different fingerprints. No one else has any of the fingerprints that you have So that's 10 times the understanding that you should have that you are unique. Nobody else on this planet with over seven and a half billion people have your fingerprints.

[17:10] People can have similar experiences. But your experiences are unique because of how you felt, what you were experiencing, who was around you, the lessons that you learned, what you would do differently. All of these things are unique to you.

[23:08] Write down what happened? Who was there? How were you feeling? The lessons that you learn? What was the outcome, write it all out for all five of those. And then start sharing them. Share them in social media, talk to your family, your friends, you know, go live on Instagram or Facebook, just start sharing those stories, and see how they connect with people.

[25:17] Storytelling has been around since the beginning of time for a reason. And that reason is it resonates with people, it sits in their soul. It sits in their hearts and their minds, they remember them, the stories get passed on, for 10s of 1000s of years.

[27:10] I truly believe that there are people out here right right now waiting on you, to get your message out. They're waiting on you.
