Acting On A New Narrative

Changing Your Narrative

If you’re painting, act as if you’ll be submitting it to the Louvre.

If you’re pitching to a prospect, act as if you’re pitching to the late Steve Jobs.

If you’re writing a novel, act as if Tom Robbins will be the first one to read and edit it.

When you change the narrative (which, by the way, takes little effort), you change the result. The outcome becomes stronger. The product has in it: more care, more passion, more will than if you were just creating for the sake of creating or because your boss told you to do it.

For some they imagine that everything is a competition, others imagine the largest reward for a job magnificently done, others find an influencer and judge their work by them, “If Edward Bernays were seeing this PR proposal, would he be proud?”

All it takes is a little imagination to do better work; just a tweak of your narrative.
