Are you wanting to build your influential voice? It is necessary for business success. I heard a paraphrasing of something that author Joan Didion said in the Atlantic Monthly when she was interviewed. In my mind, especially this day and age, writing is critical if you want to develop your influential voice, and have a Bad-Assery business.
Joan Didion was phrased as saying: “writing is an hostile act.” That it is about: “imposing your will on the world.” She says there is one sound that is common in all writing: I .
I think this is why so many of my clients struggle with speaking and writing because they aren’t willing yet to impose their will on the world. See to get to a place where you have an influential voice where your tribe is called to you, you must be willing to impose your will on the world. To speak in front of an audience and have them want what you sell, you have to impose your will on the world.
Your warrior must be willing to step to the greater vision. Your heart must be called to share why you think the change needs to be made in the world. Your intuition must be willing to call out and share the inadequacy’s indecency’s you see around you.
REALLY ANN? Ok, well, you at last have to have AN OPINION. A viewpoint. One you own, YOU claim.
Are you willing to share your will on the world. Are you willing to show your influential voice?
Ultimately, what I believe Joan is saying is that in order to write and even speak effectively, you have to put a piece of you in it. Anyone can just speak words. Anyone can just write information. But can you do it in a way that moves, compels, and inspires. To do that you have to take a side, have a viewpoint, and strive for the change that you want. In my Compel. Speak. Sell. MasterMind I teach creative, intuitive entrepreneurs how to build compelling brand story. Do you want to stnad up and out? Then get hostile with your writing!
