When you tell your story, you may be leaving out the best part.

I see this happen all the time.Entrepreneursshare their story online or onstage, or tell it to customers, investors, or people like me — and they wonder why it isn't resonating. The result isn't just a bruised ego; it is a financial liability! People connect with astorya lot more than they do with a brand or aproduct. If you can't tell your story right, you'll have a harder time gaining business, attention, fans, and exposure.
