What’s Your Story?

Last week, I wrote a post titled Lessons From My Improv Group (With 20/20 Hindsight) . In it, I mentioned three lessons I learned from my years trying to grow an improv comedy group in Philadelphia:

1. Set the Quality Bar Higher
2. Set the “Dream Bar” a Bit Lower
3. Analyzed Less, Acted More

These are my lessons from my experience (and there are many more lessons and experiences!) The thing is, we all have these experiences. Things that when we look back, we say, “well I would do that differently if I had to do it again.”

So my question to you is, “what’s your story?” What is your specific personal experience that you can look back on and say, “here are three (or five, or seven, or twenty-nine) things anyone could learn from my example”?

I hoped you learned from my experience, but there is no reason you can’t learn from your own. Sadly, it’s quite shocking how many people don’t learn from their own experiences. Instead, they just keep on making the same mistakes, over, and over, and over, and over again.

For me, my three lessons were from things I didn’t properly do in my improv group. Now, in my current business as a Motivational Humorist, I am doing my damndest to incorporate those lessons into my current activities. Simple, but that’s what learning from experience is all about.

So let me ask you: What would you do differently if you could do it all over again? Are you doing those things differently now, in your current life?

If your answer to that second question is “no,” I strongly suggest you take action to start incorporating the lessons from your experiences into your life now…
