I had a few of you reach out to me yesterday when the episode about questions to build stories for your audience dropped. You said, well, Tristan, I love the idea, but how do I. How do I do this routinely? So I changed today's episode and I made it this how to build your personal story library. This is episode 744. And I've got a process for you that you need to follow so that you can show up longer term. I've got five steps here for you. I'm going to be reading them to you, and of course, I'll tell you how to get them at the end. I'm Tristan. This is your daily real estate. It's a podcast. It's a show, five to ten minutes every single day. And again, I'm showing up here for you to help you grow, to stay more relevant and continue to elevate our industry. Here we go. Number one, what happens after you ask the questions to develop stories? Well, number one, pick the moment. You either answer all the questions, all the 10 questions, which I'm not sure you're going to have time to do, but answer them, or choose just one question that sparks something. The moment that comes up becomes your story seed for the day. That is the key. Number two, capture the moment in three quick lines. No storytelling, no polishing, just the raw material. Write this down. What happened, what you felt or thought, why it mattered. And you, you'll start getting the idea very clearly. You're like, oh, this is. I could tell a story from this. This makes sense. There's emotion in this one. What happens is it freezes the moment for you so that it doesn't go away. I've been doing this a little bit more the last few weeks, and I'm like, oh, this could be a really good one. See these three lines? They'll turn the tiny different moments into one event so that you can tell it in the future. At least that's how it's been for me. Number three, tag it with one word. This one's been a little bit different for me. I had to get used to this one, but the moment I did it, I was like, that's it right there. I can recall it faster. Choose one simple tag so you can find it later and recall it later. Work, family, lesson. People growth, mindset, surprise, challenge, humor. It doesn't matter what it is. One tag in that story. This keeps the system simple and searchable. This is where you can either create an Excel sheet from it, you can create journal specifically for this, however you want. To roll with this. If you tag it, you can find it later. Number four, save it in your story bank. Yeah. Pick one storage method and stick with it. Don't be all over the place like I did. I'm like, I've got stories. I've got stories. There. Not good. Don't do that. Have your stories in one place. Is it going to be a journal? Is it going to be an Excel sheet? Like I said, is it going to be your phone? Probably the easiest place, right? Your phone. Is it going to be a voice folder? Like, one of my friends keeps his stories on voice and just names them and tags them on his phone. I'm like, that's a brilliant idea. I just can't get into that one. But that, to me, probably the best one. Number five, review once a week. So decide what day is this going to be, what time is it going to be, where I'm going to go through my stories and just recall them and be like, dang, that was a good one. This way you can tell them more because at the end of the day, people connect with you because of the stories that you tell. They'll connect with you because they can relate to you. Oh, that's a good story. Well, that's a good reason. Oh, you know, Tristan's. Tristan's got a point there, man. I can relate to that or I would never do that. Not me. Right? Yeah. Tristan's an idiot. Right. Which I've heard, too. So regardless of which one it is, if you need this, these are five things. I know I missed a few other things, but the whole list here, this is episode 744, how to build a personal story library. How to do it step by step. If you need this, message me on Instagram and I'll send this over to you. Just do me a favor, Give me the grace to give me three, four, five days sometimes to send it to you. I'm so slow because it's just me messaging you. It's not my team. And I'll send this over to you. You'll get it one day, I promise. And then one day we'll build that website where you could just download this instantly. Right? But not yet. And if you think that you're ready to start creating your own systems and processes and get into that next level that you know you should already be at, you probably need group coaching. You probably need to take a look at a Brilliant Tribe, which is the coaching company that I started a few years back, and it's meant for real estate agents at all levels, but mainly to keep you accountable and to keep you going in the direction that you know you should be going. This is why we're always testing things out. We're like, did that work? Nope. Nope. But this did. Let's press on that one. That's what we're about. And if you're ready for coaching, just message me or check out a brilliant tribe dot com. If not, don't worry. This is episode 7 44. I will send it to you. And if you're watching the short on Instagram, just say or comment 7:44 and I'll send this over to you. Have an awesome day.
