When you know how to find the stories of your life to write about, you will be amazed at how much you have to share through a memoir. What you’ll be doing is simply writing what you know better than anyone else. Of course, you can keep your business memories to yourself or only share them with a personally selected limited group of people. But what about the hundreds or even thousands of people that would benefit from know more about how you ran your business or the great ideas you learned along the way?
People love a great story. There’s nothing more exciting than a story about how a person achieved a goal or solved a life problem. Be assured, you have more memories in your business life to write about than you can imagine.
- No one can have your story. You are a unique person with unique experiences in life. Your business story can only be told by you.
- Your memoirs provide the benefit of letting you record the meaning and purpose of your business life in writing.
- You have a right to record your business memories and to let others have the benefit of learning from your business experiences.
Writing memoirs helps you recall the accomplishments or your life. They also let you review the hard life lessons that have built character along the way. Sharing the events of your life lets others learn from your experiences.
When you write your life with words, you look at your emotions, feeling, decisions, and choices. You understand the road you walked and the path you followed.
Your stories can be a way to honor those who influenced your life along the way. You can see the themes of your life and come to understand how you have made a difference in your world and to the world at large.
When you fail to start writing your memoirs you are taking your life for granted. The best legacy you can pass along to those you care about are the stories you’ve gained throughout your work life. Start today by writing about your business, your challenges and accomplishments. Tell what you did to achieve your goals. The ideas are endless but the writing doesn’t have to be. It just has to start.
