What's your story in 6 words...?
Legend has it that Hemingway was once challenged to write a story in only six words. His response?
“For sale: baby shoes, never worn.”
Starting in 2006, SMITH Magazine re-ignited the recountre by asking readers for their own six-word memoirs. They sent in short life stories in droves, from the bittersweet (“Cursed with cancer, blessed with friends”) and poignant (“I still make coffee for two”) to the inspirational (“Business school? Bah! Pop music? Hurrah”) and hilarious (“I like big butts, can’t lie”).
My question is : What would yours be…?
Mine is : still curious about people and stuff.
You can see the video that sparked all this off just here….
As we’ve been throwing this back and forth across the internet - several people have sent through their business stories - it seems to me that this is a new twist on the elevator speech, which was supposed to take one minute, and more succinct that Twitter at 140 characters.
Just 6 words to describe the vision, mission and whole ethos of your business …..
Can you do it….?
