Why this prompt: A stated before/after is instant, visible proof — no explaining required, the contrast does the convincing. BEAT 1 — THE HOOK Lead with the two points of comparison, not the story around them. Try one of these, or write your own in the same spirit — use whatever feels like YOU: • Year 1 vs year 5 in this business. Here's what changes. • Me before I [did the thing] vs me now. • Then vs now — same person, different decisions. BEAT 2 — SHARE YOUR WHY (KEEP IT TIGHT) Show the real before/after or then-vs-now. Be specific about what actually changed, not just how it felt. Include the thing that stayed exactly the same, too — that's often the most interesting part. BEAT 3 — THE CLOSE Pick one: • What's your before/after? • This is the contrast I want for my people. • Mic drop: Look at the difference. POST IT Film it on your phone. Post it — Reel, Story, Carousel, whatever. Comment on at least 5 other members' videos. Drop your LINK here — not the video — Day 13: [Link].
