Nothing is more powerful than sharing your story, positive or painful. Sharing helps you express and release emotions and helps others learn that they aren’t alone in their experiences. We want to hear your stories.

We know firsthand how it feels to live in your mind as a founder, wanting to talk about your big plans when no one seems to care as much as you do. Or when you’re facing a huge obstacle, and it feels like no one around you quite gets the gravity of it all.

This part of Run Success is one of the most meaningful for us.

Share with us. We’ll listen!

Here’s what we’re looking for when you share your story:

1. We encourage our members to talk about what they do. Drop a line about your business (existing or your future desires). There’s nothing wrong with a little (well done!) self-promotion. Just keep this part under 30 seconds.

2. Tell your story — the good, the bad, the ugly. We want to hear it all. This section is the core of your video or audio. Keep it brief, but say what you need to say. Keep this part under 4 minutes.

3. Ask your question if you have one. If you just want to share your story, skip this step. But if you have a question, frame it here in under 30 seconds.

Here are some topics we love but don’t feel boxed in!

• Negotiating

• Legal and insurance issues

• Debt and credit
