About how they worked at a dead-end job and finally quit to pursue their dreams. Or how they nearly failed at their business but found a way to persevere.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You always remember these individuals&#8217; backstories more than any new toy or vacation they post online. These are extremely memorable and make it easy for you to relate to them.<\/span><\/p><p><b>I call this the broken glass moment.<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here\u2019s what I mean. When you see a normal window pane of glass in a car you probably don\u2019t think anything of it. But when you see broken glass on the side of the car window, you might get concerned and want to know more.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Did someone break in? Was there an accident? Is everything okay?<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Notice the difference? The broken glass tells a much different story than a normal window we all see every day.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I talk more about the broken glass concept in the video and how every entrepreneur needs more of these moments to become successful:<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3340d31 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"3340d31\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f8f7956 elementor-widget elementor-widget-video\" data-id=\"f8f7956\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;youtube_url&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.youtube.com\\\/watch?v=8rxmHJpoQO8&quot;,&quot;video_type&quot;:&quot;youtube&quot;,&quot;controls&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"video.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-wrapper elementor-open-inline\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-video\"><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fbdb3e6 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"fbdb3e6\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-93d88f2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"93d88f2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h1><b>Here\u2019s Why You Need to be Totally Transparent with Your Audience<\/b><\/h1><h2><b>Consumers Are More Aware Than Ever<\/b><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the sea of social media, personal brands, and endless messaging online, it\u2019s hard to know who you can trust anymore. Consumers seem to be able to detect someone who is out to make money versus someone who is genuinely trying to make a difference in the lives of others.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Transparency shows your audience that you\u2019re trustworthy. The more vulnerable the better. If you\u2019re being really vulnerable and sharing a deep dark secret they will really trust you.<\/span><\/p><h2><b>They Want to Know You\u2019re Human<\/b><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sharing your flaws with anyone is challenging. It requires you to admit that you failed, made a mistake, or had to overcome a difficult situation. Maybe you even created the dilemma yourself but have to figure it out.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But sharing flaws online, with the world watching takes enormous courage. My good friend and mentor Lewis Howes said it perfectly in his latest book, The Mask of Masculinity,<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cTaking off that mask to show vulnerability is one thing, but when you do it to show the world who you really are, that is something else entirely. That is true strength.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Audiences want this kind of content because they aren\u2019t perfect and want to relate to someone else who isn\u2019t\u2019 either. Sharing this kind of vulnerable content makes you 100 times more relatable. It shows that no matter how successful you are, you\u2019re a normal person with flaws, just like them!<\/span><\/p><h2><b>The Truth is The Easiest Content to Produce<\/b><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The easiest way to be transparent is to turn on your camera or start writing when you\u2019re feeling vulnerable. Documenting the process instead of always creating is much easier. This can take a huge amount of pressure off of feeling like you have to create all the time.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gary Vee talks about this constantly when speaking to entrepreneurs. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cOne of the biggest mistakes people make when creating content for their brand is trying to oversell themselves because they think that\u2019s what\u2019s going to get people\u2019s attention. I think it\u2019s much more fruitful to talk about your process than about the actual advice you \u201cthink\u201d you should be giving them.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Documenting your journey has never been easier as you always have your phone close by. Simply turn it on and let your audience know what is happening in your life.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Document the good, the bad, and what you can learn from it like I did with the broken glass video. Not only will this make you relatable, it will help you learn from your own mistakes when you look back on them.<\/span><\/p><h2><b>They Want to Relate With You<\/b><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Personally, I\u2019d much rather follow someone online who shares both sides of the story instead of a one-sided success story. If you\u2019re creating content for the right reasons, you want to be as honest as possible with your tribe.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Plus, sharing your failures and setbacks will only help them succeed faster by not making the same mistakes you did. As they begin to relate with your message the bond between you is exponentially greater.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you begin to roll out coaching or online courses, this makes selling nearly effortless as you\u2019ve already done the hard part first.<\/span><\/p><h1><b>You Have to Build Trust Before Selling?<\/b><\/h1><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The internet isn\u2019t like it was five or ten years ago. People have more options than ever, which means that they are more selective before buying products. People tend to buy from people they like, not another internet marketer promising the world.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s why you don\u2019t try to sell a $5000 mastermind or online course to a cold lead. You have to build trust and credibility with your audience before asking for that kind of investment.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clickfunnels co-founder Russell Brunson talks about this in his book, Dotcom Secrets. When talking about the opening email sequence he says, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe goal is to create an instant bond between your attractive character and the person reading the email. If your first email is boring, you\u2019re done.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The same goes for your first video, ebook, webinar, or course. You want to be incredibly memorable on your first interaction.<\/span><\/p><h1><b>Final Thoughts<\/b><\/h1><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re not sharing your broken glass moments you\u2019re missing out on a huge opportunity to build an insane amount of trust with your audience. Yes, it will be scary at times.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s not easy to share some of your most vulnerable moments in life and business with the world. But it will be worth it if you can get the courage to just start. Start by documenting instead of sitting around waiting to create a masterpiece.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can\u2019t build an epic business or personal brand by hiding in the shadows. People want to relate to you and learn from you. Once they do, they\u2019ll be part of your tribe for a long time.<\/span><\/p><p><b><i>Are you ready to share your broken glass moments with your audience?
