  • Campfire stories rule! - There is something magical about them and if you've ever had the full campfire story experience, you'd know what I mean.

One must experience the stories while actually in the company of friends sitting near a heat source that contains a flame (preferably a fire).

  • Harness the Unconscious Marketing Power of Stories - If you want people to pay attention to what you say, you have to communicate with them at an unconscious level.

As the unconscious mind also takes everything it hears personally, people will automatically relate to the people they hear about in the metaphor. So a great way of getting your message across is using stories in your marketing. Good communicators do this all the time without realizing it. People love to hear a story. When you give them information in the context of "this is what happened with so and so," they will take the message on board much more convincingly.
  • Based on a True Story - I like to watch movies based on true stories. Recently, I saw for the first time the movie, "Music from the Heart."

To watch and see the three main character's lives change is remarkable. I love the line in the movie, which comes up at least twice: "You don't throw away a whole life just because it's banged up a little." Movies like that really can inspire us, can't they?
