The most brilliant plans in the world won’t help you succeed if you can’t bring them to life. Executing well means that you pick a reasonable direction, move quickly to learn what works and what doesn’t, and make adjustments to get to your desired outcome.

It’s hard to be authentic and vulnerable when you’re reciting lines. It’s also obvious to an audience when a storyteller is simply reciting a story instead of telling a story.
Instead of memorizing your story word-for-word, memorize three parts to a story:
1. The first few sentences. Always start strong.
2. The last few sentences. Always end strong.
3. The scenes of your story.
