Create a powerful core story for your business

Humans have been telling stories since we developed the ability to talk. We use them to pass on lessons, information and history. Like music, they bring events to life and create an emotional connection that makes us remember what we’re being told. Storytelling is just as essential to your business as it is to the human race itself. Watch the video to witness a powerful interaction at Business Mastery as Daniel Lanigan, founder and CEO of Lord Hobo Brewing Co, shares his business’ core story with Tony.

Daniel understands that every business needs a core story. A core story serves as the essence of your company – communicating the value you can provide to your clients in a logical and compelling way. It communicates your X factor: what sets you apart from all the rest, what makes your business unique.

Daniel sells “the most affordable luxury on earth”: craft beer. To attract his ideal customer, he needs to communicate the value of his product, which can cost up to twice as much as his cheaper competition. His core story for Lord Hobo is straightforward, clear – and incredibly compelling: Craft beer is an inexpensive way to give yourself the best. The best beers are eight bucks, the worst beers are four bucks. So why not go with the best?

Tony says, “He didn’t sell me on his beer, he sold me on me having a greater experience of life, and the difference is a very small amount of dollars.” Billion-dollar empires like Patron and Starbucks have been built on similar stories. They don’t sell you a product. They sell you significance. Daniel can capitalize on the same principle.

But if Daniel’s core story isn’t the problem, then what is? As is so often the case in business, the real problem is communication. You can have the greatest vision, values and story in the world, but if you don’t communicate it to your stakeholders, you may as well have nothing. Watch the video to hear Tony’s advice for Daniel and any business owner who wants to create a powerful story, then get your own ticket to Business Mastery to experience a transformation of your own.
