Craft Your Personal Story in 60 Seconds

Craft Your Personal Story in 60 Seconds

People don’t buy what you do; they buy why you do it.

In our presentation flow, the “Financial House” provides the logic, but your personal story provides the emotion. It’s the bridge that connects the data to the human being sitting across from you.

⚠️ Time Limit

The 3-Beat Framework

To keep your story duplicatable and concise, we use a strict 3-part structure.

1. The Before (Pain)

Where were you before you found this solution? Be vulnerable about your ignorance, stress, or lack of direction.

2. The Pivot (Realization)

The specific moment the lightbulb went on. Usually, this is when you saw the “Financial House” for the first time.

3. The Mission (Why)

Why you couldn’t keep this a secret. This naturally leads into why you are recruiting partners.

Choose Your Archetype

Most successful stories in our business fall into one of three categories. Find the one that fits you best and make it your own.

The Former Client

Ideal for: Someone who started as a client and had a great result.

• The Before: “A few years ago, I was working hard but felt like I was spinning my wheels. I had debt, no savings, and honestly, I was scared to look at my bank account.”
• The Pivot: “Then, my agent sat down with me and drew out this ‘Financial House.’ It was a lightbulb moment. I realized I wasn’t broke; I was just uneducated.”
• The Mission: “Once I felt the relief of having a plan, I realized I couldn’t keep it a secret. I wanted my friends to feel that same peace of mind. That’s why I’m here.”

The Career Changer

Ideal for: Someone leaving a high-stress or limited-income job.

• The Before: “I was working 60 hours a week in [Previous Industry]. I was missing my kids’ soccer games and realized that my income was capped no matter how hard I worked.”
• The Pivot: “I was looking for a way out, and I saw this business model. I realized I could build passive income while actually helping families, rather than just making a boss rich.”
• The Mission: “I decided to take control of my own future. Now, I’m building a team so I never have to ask for permission to take a vacation again.”

The Crusader

Ideal for: Someone who witnessed a financial tragedy.

• The Before: “When my [Relative] passed away, they didn’t have proper protection in place. I watched my family fall apart financially while trying to grieve.”
• The Pivot: “I learned later that a simple 30-minute meeting like this could have prevented all that struggle. It made me realize how dangerous financial illiteracy is.”
• The Mission: “I made a vow that no family I know will ever go through that nightmare on my watch. That is why I am so passionate about this education.”

💡 Be Authentic

Write Your Story: Step-by-Step

Step 1: Pick Your Angle

Choose which archetype fits you best:

• Former Client who got results
• Career Changer seeking freedom
• Crusader who saw the need

Step 2: Fill in Your Details

Use this script template to draft your story:

“Can I share with you quickly why I’m actually doing this business?

(The Before - 15 seconds) A few years ago, I was working as a ______________ and honestly, I was struggling with ______________.

(The Pivot - 20 seconds) Then, someone showed me this Financial House concept. It changed everything because I finally realized ______________.

(The Mission - 15 seconds) Once I fixed my own situation, I realized there are millions of families who are just as lost as I was. I couldn’t keep this a secret. That’s why I’m here.”

Step 3: Time Yourself

Practice saying it out loud. Use your phone’s stopwatch. If it’s over 60 seconds, trim it.

Step 4: Record and Review

Record yourself telling the story. Watch it back and ask:

• Does it sound authentic?
• Is it under 60 seconds?
• Would this make someone lean in?

Where to Insert It in Your Presentation

Your story belongs in Step 3, right after you explain the Financial House but before you explain the compensation.

The Flow:

1. Draw the Financial House (Logic - establishes the problem)
2. Tell Your Personal Story (Emotion/Trust) 👈 Insert Here
3. Explain Active vs. Passive Income (Opportunity)

Key Transition Phrases:

💡 Transition Into Story

💡 Transition Out of Story

Common Mistakes to Avoid:

• Don’t start with your story (build logic first)
• Don’t make it longer than 60 seconds
• Don’t use industry jargon
• Don’t make yourself the hero
• Don’t forget to transition to compensation
