"Tell different people the same thing, instead of the same people different things."
I came across that line a few weeks ago and it gave me a bit of an aha moment.
I'd gotten quite comfortable talking about different things to the same people in this forum (granted there's always new people joining but you know what I mean).
So I ventured out of the safe(ish) harbour of the forum and into the wild blue ocean that is Facebook and Facebook groups. I've joined new groups where people didn't know me and bounced around making friends, helping people, supporting people, and engaging with people. I've been invited to do group workshops, radio interviews, and onto podcasts - all to talk about the same thing. Dayum, but I felt like a broken record repeating my founding story again and again and again (the story where I help an electrician keep a roof over his head).
But each person I tell that story to has never heard it before. The morals of that story seem to resonate now as every time I've said it in the past 10 years. Funny that.
Anyway, that's my experience implementing the advice above.
What if you ventured out and retold your story to new people and audiences?
