Designing Your Attractive Character (by Russell Brunson)
This was from a private training I did with my Inner Circle a few years ago. The video and training never was seen after that by anyone, and I found it this week and thought that it would benefit a lot of you who are struggling to figure out how to design yourself as a character. Stephanie Dove Blake was on the original training, and afterwards dropped her takeaways (which are a pretty amazing summary of the video) - so here you go! ==== SO many incredible golden nuggets in this @Russell Brunson!ย Thank you! ๐ I thought Iโd share my takeawaysโฆ ๐ The value of education & info you provide will keep a customer for a few yearsโฆ but the value a relationship with YOU will keep a customer for LIFE. ๐ The majority of ones expertise is disseminated in the first year of a customerโs entry into your worldโฆyou canโt keep dispensing brand NEW info for the rest of your lifeโฆ train on one thing in many ways. ๐ Business isnโt about core info - itโs about characters. ๐ Weโre not in the info business, weโre in the RELATIONSHIP business. ๐ Those who WIN at business realize that: Your business isnโt the products you create โ your business is your HERD/TRIBE/PEOPLE.ย They are the only business ASSET. ๐ Know your market and make sure you have โMessage to Market Matchโ ๐คฉ Good, Fan-worthy Characters:ย ๐ - Canโt be boring - Have an origin story - Have a back story (what they did before) - Have parablesย - Have experienced miracles - Have โinsiderโ languageย - Have a measure of likabilityย - They do likable things.ย (This is why comics arenโt about the villains.) - Are good at what they do - Have overcome adversityย - Are emotionally complex - Experience substantial change - Show their flaws - Have a position - Have a philosophyย - Shows courage that others want to emulate - Share their likes/dislikes - Share their failures as well as their failures - Share their beliefs - Share their pathological behaviorsย - Share their incompetencies - Share their religion/belief system - Share their significant life events - Share their envy/desire
