Tonight I'm taking my seven year old son David to go see the World Wrestling Entertainment event in downtown Atlanta. I think I am as excited as he is!
As a kid, I used to LOVE professional wrestling. In fact, my best buddy Geno and I staged a wrestling match in his backyard and actually sold tickets to the event. (Of course, the only two "wrestlers" were he and I!)
Now whether you like pro wrestling or hate it, there is something very, very valuable you can learn from it and that is the art of storytelling.
What makes wrestling popular is the over the top characters and story lines. It is NOT the actual fighting in the ring. That is secondary. The STORIES are what keep people tuned in, buying pay per view events and going to the live shows.
I haven't watched wrestling in years and don't really know any of the characters or story lines. But when I go to the matches tonight, I betcha I will easily be able to get caught up on all of that stuff very quickly. Why? Again because the writers for the WWE are master storytellers.
If you want to get people's attention and keep it, then you must also learn to tell compelling stories. This is a huge ten star tip that I am giving you! Tell stories about your life, about your kids about other people, about things you read -but whatever you do, tell stories!
Live a life of passion, purpose and prosperity!
