Love that Chris always gives advice through the lens of playing the long game! There’s so much sweetness in going through the journey, gathering lessons learnt & sharing it with others. Can’t wait for the next video in this series 🤌🏼

Ya know, I remember you saying you hated the way you sound. But bro, when you speak, I focus. Your voice and the words you choose are so thought out. And I appreciate it very much. Keep it up!

[muhaiminzulkarnain]

Be vulnerable and show empathy. No one will pay attention to a “perfect” person.

[mateuswolcow]

Everytime I catch myself thinking on giving up, you guys pull me back in the game, you are saving my life, thanks...

Stories of "Every person who taught u a lesson"
Shows humility, gratitude, selflessness. Humility for admitting what u know, Gratitude to the person and opportunity that taught u
Selflessness for sharing it with others.
The stories also develop those traits as well.

[rushanmohamed]

Chris, when you said think about every person who taught you a lesson, for me the every other name that pops out is yours. Thanks Chris for all the experiences and lessons you have taught us.

[wolfingitdown]

I feel like too often I lose sight of the value of my personal story when trying to push my "angle" or agenda while creating. This was a great reality check that I needed to get myself to be more genuine with how I create content

[ThatManManuel]

i love your biblical principles.. the world may change but God's words doesnt.

[jesse_sweed]

This is wonderful! I've heard John Kanary say, "There's a season to sow, There's a season to reap, but you don't do them both in the same season."

This made me think of that quote.

[cruisetheearth]

Just recently I was getting some advice from a man in his 50's, he is a Data analyst and at one point in our the conversation his words were, " the dots will begin to connect " then he smiled. What he said to me has just been amplified by you Chris. Thanks

[anakondaxxx]

This is so good! I was lost in the personal branding story meaning: tell stories about you or be an expert in your niche?
But wait, they say it's not about you, it's about your audience! That's what my clients are saying.
- tell your story that resonates with your ideal audience!
That's exactly what Instagram is trying to do with reels- entertain and show your personality first. People know you better and then want to do business with you because your values are the same.

"When is the best time to plant a tree?", the student asked. "20 years ago or today." The teacher calmly replied. The work needs to be done today if you want it to bear fruit. Futur✌️💯

[landofthefree]

Brilliant!
The depth of Conviction-Communicated with humility is priceless.

[kalaning]

I like that prompt to think about every person that taught me a lesson and tell that story because they were the mentor in my story. I think that is my gold for the day. The Scheme - Hard work over time = The Promise Land - Mahalo

[normansabadi]

I just had an epiphany. "TELL YOUR STORY" is my Answer... Wow! So powerful. So powerful. I feel the vibration of those words are next level.

[irinyemidavidibukunoluwa]

I've never been this committed to a mentor. Your words are powerful. Thanks so much man 🖤💙🖤💙

[strategy_gal]

This is so true. Telling your story will build your credibility and make people trust you. Thanks for sharing, Chris!

[jothamsk]

If you are a videographer and you are not making more money in this era then learn from this video I believe we videographers are the best storytellers, we let the views see not mere listerning or reading. Thanks, Mr. Chris for this great insight God Bless you, your student Jotham Sk from Uganda.

[TerenceEnn]

I love this. My main takeaways: Transformation not transaction, make sure they love me as a creative human being and then sell them on my services, content creation of your story is a long term game, plant the seeds today!

[yuvrajkol]

i just love the way you articulate what you are thinking and how to say it efficiently so that its digestible to us . I mean this is something that people generally avoid and instead spend thousands of bucks on courses that does not even make sense. These things you are sharing are just priceless. thank you!
