The $3,000 storytelling mistake I made (so you don't have to)
I was sitting on a goldmine and didn't even know it..
friend! friend! friend!
Three years ago, I was sitting on a goldmine and didn't even know it.
I had journals STUFFED with epic fails, embarrassing moments, and those messy breakthroughs that happen at 2 AM when you're crying into your laptop.
But instead of sharing them? I hid them like dirty laundry.
I kept telling myself: "Nobody wants to hear about your disasters, Stephen. Get your act together FIRST."
Plot twist: Those "disasters" became my most viral content.
The time I accidentally sent a typo-filled email to people? That post got over 100k impressions.
My failed product launch story? It landed me three new clients.
Turns out, people don't want perfection they want permission to be human.
Here's the brutal truth that changed everything friend:
Your mess IS your message.
But here's where most people screw this up (and why I left money on the table for THREE YEARS):
They think storytelling means "just be authentic!"
Wrong.
There's a STRUCTURE to turning chaos into cash-generating content.
Monday I shared my Kitchen Story Framework, but that's just the tip of the iceberg.
You need proven templates. Step-by-step blueprints. The exact frameworks that turn your "I can't believe I'm sharing this" moments into "Holy crap, I need to work with you" responses.
Here's what I wish someone had told me: Your struggles aren't weaknesses they're your competitive advantage. But only if you know how to package them properly.
From my beautifully chaotic home office with 3 kids under 5 screaming at me daddy I want my tablet,
