The exact text, line breaks and all

I had tried, on several occasions, to get my message out—helping others listen inward, find their own path, and discover their passion—but I hadn’t figured out how to make my voice heard. When Mindvalley’s *Speaker & Influencer Mastery 2026* (SIM26) came across my path, a voice inside said, "Go for it!" I didn’t have the funds for the full payment, so I took a chance, trusting that I would be able to manage the installment payments.

When I started, my stories didn’t really resonate. I often tell stories, but few people are willing—or have the patience—to listen. Thanks to the frameworks I’ve learned and the groups I’ve practiced with, I’m now able to hold an audience’s attention; they actually want to hear what happens next—even when it comes to stories I haven’t rehearsed or prepared. Along the way, my bigger message has crystallized, and I’ve begun to develop a "staircase" (a progression path) for my clients.

Today, I understand why I needed to take this course—it was a vital step in my mission—but that’s a story for another time. I look forward to putting all the technical pieces in place, while continuing to gather stories and seeking out platforms where I can share them. I also want to stay connected with many of the other members of the SIM26 cohort.
