Inspiration to Fiction
Dec 12, 201600:12:15Tap to summarizeSo I get this question a lot… “Why did you make the jump from how-to writing to fictional storybooks?” In my podcast interview with Jon Gordon, he shared some great principles and strategies for why he writes the way he does. Watch this video below to learn more about the new fictional storybooks: The 12 Pillars of Peak Performance are the 20% of the entire field of Peak Performance that will get you 80% of the benefit. Learn more about my new fictional storybooks! Your Peak Performance Coach, BRIAN CAIN PODCAST TRANSCRIPTION Cain: So I get this question a lot from people. Why the jump? Why did you make the jump from writing the how to follow the process and system to Peak Performance book into fictional writing? I get that question a lot. I want to try to answer that question here. A big part of that inspiration – which you’ve probably heard if you listened to the September podcast I did with John Gordon. Gordon: I really am about these fables because I realized when I first wrote The Energy Bus that that is a great way to share a message. That is a great way to empower others and to share a story with them that as they read it it becomes their story. We learn best through parables. Cain: I’ve been a huge fan of John Gordon’s writings from The Energy Bus to The Hard Hat to The Seed and all of his books are all fictional books. What I also like about them is that they share very strong core principles and some strategies that you can use to be your best. As I was goi...

How many of you were able to give a little bit more when I asked to give more? Raise your hand and say “I could.” Crowd: I could. Cain: So do that with your kids. You can always give a little bit more. If you do that you’ll find kids jumping up on the table. You’ll find kids climbing up the scaffolding and putting their hand in the air. They can always do a little bit more. But get them to raise their hand and think just when you think you’ve given enough you can always give a little bit more. Always give more. I can always give more. I can always give more. I can always give more. Why is that? I’m going as high as I can but I can still give more. Sometimes it’s just t...
