Using the 7 Elements to a Story to Design YOUR Legend

Posted by William Sumner | Leadership |

You should have absorbed the “7 Elements to a Story” from Tuesday’s “Demystifying Leadership” by now. If you haven’t, go back and check it out and watch the 3+ minutes of video on it! (here’s the link: http://theinevitablebusiness.com/2018/10/the-seven-elements-to-a-great-story/)

 

Now, here’s your focal point today:

 

  • Which of the 7 elements are you strongest on?

 

We ALWAYS begin with our strengths. Bookmark this point. Always begin with the strength! Most people believe that the best way to move forward is to fix what is wrong. To the extent that it is true that a chain is only as strong as the weakest link, it’s true. However, we aren’t chains nor mechanical apparatus. We are flesh and blood and human psychology.

 

Ponder this deep truth: if you improve upon strength, it will pull the “weak link” upwards faster and further than operating on fixing the “weak link” This is the greatest promise and potential of being human!

 

So back to the task at hand: when you focus on the elements that are your strongest, and strengthen even more, notice the uplift. Do that now. Get help if you really don’t have a plan to strengthen the best parts of you.

 

  • Which of the 7 elements are you most hindered by?

 

(just because we build strength first, doesn’t mean that we ignore the challenges. We just do them 2nd.)

 

Do you have a plan to strengthen the challenges? Does something need to be healed first? Do you KNOW what to do first and the sequence beyond that and where to find the resources and everything that you need? (Hint: it DOES FOLLOW the “7 Elements of the Story” – work on the pieces that will make YOU a better “movie” or Legend or end with a better ending!)

 

Do that now!

 

  • Now, ask yourself, having accomplished the first two bullet points: Is this a better story now? Can you/ DID you implement it? What happened? Would Hollywood “buy the option” on your story? Why or why not?

 

You ARE the hero of your story. It IS “plastic” that it is to say, malleable and fungible. You can’t change the beginning of your story, but every day, you write a new ending!

 

Do a magnificent ending now. Repeat.

Testimonials

  • “I am a client of Bill’s from both an individual perspective as well as Master Mind’s. So I have seen him from several angles as he has worked with me, a number of my staff, and others that I have grown close to in this wonderful community of personal development and growth. I have always felt Bill to be amazing at what he did, and believe that by going to Leadership Academy I would improve my leadership and business skills. I cannot begin to tell you, even after all the work that I have done with Bill, what was in store for me. It is simply unbelievable! I walked out with tools and repeatable processes that allow me to go deeper into someone’s psychology, motivation, and behavioral choices than I ever, ever dreamed. I am a person that is consistently looking for ways to improve and I have attended several seminars and courses on leadership. This is the best I’ve ever had. I have the ability now to transform lives, motivate people and groups, in a way I never could before. I highly recommend the experience to anyone who wants to be better.”

     

    Eric Thompson

    President, Windermere Real Estate Services Colorado

  • “Our team worked closely with Bill over the course of many months. Although we were quite a successful company and things were going well, we knew we hadn’t hit our potential, and weren’t quite sure what was holding us back. Working with Bill gave us tremendous insights into how we were creating corporate structures and dynamics out of particular and habitual ways of viewing our goals and problem sets. Bill stepped in and introduced a tool set to us, which in turn gave us hugely shifted and deeper perspectives about what we needed to do in order to redefine and expand our notions of success and its associated goals. Bill is uniquely talented at what he does. He not only brings diverse skills from a wide array of life experiences, but his intuition and insights into both corporate and personal mindsets and dynamics almost defy description. He uncovers the core blockages and obstacles which are preventing you from having your own clearest and deepest understanding of your current situation with uncanny, consistent and extremely valuable accuracy, and then he deftly helps show you not only the way beyond the quagmire, but provides you the tools to continue to assess and shift on your own. It bears repeating: Bill is uniquely talented; he delivered well beyond our very high expectations.”

  • “I have worked with Bill for several years now. I have always loved his message. I have bought tons of his books to give to my employees, friends, and strangers because The Inevitable You® message has been so instrumental in my life. Bill has pestered me for a while to attend Leadership Academy. I finally had the occasion to do so, and here’s is what I found astounding – I always believed much of what Bill did was unique to him. He has always told me this was “teachable” and I thought to myself, ”yea, yea, yea.” I knew that it could improve me, but I had no idea how close I would come to achieving the same effects that Bill has achieved with my company, my family, and complete strangers. It is simply amazing what I walked away with after three days. All the hype is real. You will have tools, real working tools, to influence people like you never dreamed. Do not allow money or time or any other excuse stand in your way. The only thing I regret is that I did not do this sooner. I am going to start sending other people in my company that are in key leadership positions to this experience. You have no idea what you will get from this. I am a true believer!”

  • “To Entrepreneurs, Leaders, and Whom it May Concern-

    The skills and awareness I got from this three day course were immediately applicable to every important facet of my life.  Since my graduation, I am seeing big measurable results in my business, and my community work and personal relationships have both taken on new dimensions of meaning and fulfillment.

    Simply put, my ability to accomplish goals has skyrocketed.  I attribute this to my integration of the stunningly effective tools of the Inevitable You system.  These techniques show you how to get in the center of where a goal comes from-  its fuel core, so to speak- and set up the right kind of chain reaction so that it can be accomplished without the constant need for brute force and willpower.  

    Imagine walking into a big meeting-  maybe its with a client, an employee, a partner, or maybe its just somebody you care about a lot like a family member.  Imagine walking into this meeting and knowing, just knowing, that your desired outcome has become about 85% more likely to happen.  This is one way to describe the effect of bringing the Inevitable You equipment into your toolbox.

    At home my wife immediately noticed a change in me.  She said I seemed more sure of myself and that I was listening to her in a way that made her feel more connected.  She also said I sounded more at ease when she heard me on the phone with clients.  I’m convinced I am only beginning to scratch the surface of what I can do with the new skills and tools I got from those 6 days.  But even if I didn’t discover more benefits than I have already, it would still have been an tremendously successful investment of my resources.

    In sum, the experience for me was at once challenging, liberating, productive, and really, really fun.  From a pure ROI perspective I couldn’t make a stronger recommendation for any professional or personal development investment.  Do yourself and all those who look to you for leadership a big favor, do The Inevitable® Leader.  And get ready for the next level!”
