telling stories the brand connection
Today, we're interested in stories, and not particularly interested in facts. Every story needs facts, of course, but they are secondary. The facts are there just to provide some ballast for the story. There are always so many facts that don't fit into the story, and insofar as they don't fit, depending on our commitment to the story, we have a tendency to disregard them. Every good story has some connection to the truth of our experience, but the story's the thing.

Lesson #5: Stick To Your Guns
“You’re neither right nor wrong because other people agree with you,” says Buffett. “You’re right because your facts are right and your reasoning is right – and that’s the only thing that makes you right. And if your facts and reasoning are right, you don’t have to worry about anybody else.”
Just the Facts Ma’am, Just the Facts
There was the classic TV Show and more recently the movie, “Dragnet”. The main character, Sergeant Joe Friday, was known for the quotation, “Just the facts ma’am, just the facts.” He would let a witness to a crime tell their story with all their emotion and commentary on what they believed happened. After a few minutes of listening to this extraneous information, Joe would interject his most famous line of dialogue, “Just the facts ma’am, just the facts.” As with Sergeant Friday, journalists are most interested in the facts you present in your press release.
Just the facts, ma'am
Whether or not Joe Friday ever said "Just the facts, ma'am", the facts are necessary for your operation to judge what is not right, and what to change. Objective, open eyed facts, undistorted by opinions nor politics; nor by "it's always been done that way" nor by the dreaded Not Invented Here syndrome.

MIND TRAP: Ignoring the Evidence
Steve Major discusses the fifth and final mind trap out that we can fall into in making decisions - ignoring the evidence. This is where we are not facing the facts. The facts are there, but we are not facing them. You could say we are avoiding the facts. It's a form of denial.
Why You Need To Trust Your Gut (But Don’t Take My Word For It)
In the twenty first century, facts are the guiding principles of the decisions and choices that most people make. We follow trends and research studies in determining what we eat wear and other major decisions. In constantly relying on facts, we have lost touch with our inner guiding system. We all have a source of inner guidance that goes beyond specific facts – the intuition. Through a series of steps, we can learn to cultivate and listen to our intuition.
NIQCL is more than 5 cents.
"Many failures in sales initially seem like a success to the rep! They get their perception of the facts, and propose a solution that makes sense to them. The problem is they didn't get the customer's perception of the facts, so their solution may not be sensible to the customer."
"Just the facts Ma'am"
Feelings however, are not facts. We may feel badly or overly optimistic by a financial statement - but that has no effect on the facts. An accountant can look at a spreadsheet and give us a full report of where the business stands - and although we may feel like we are failing (or succeeding) the colour of the ink at the end of the day gives us an accurate picture.
