In Michelle’s Voice
"It’s that one of a kind message that encapsulates the change you want to create for your audience. It helps you grow your business.”
"It makes people curious about what you’re doing in the world and compelled to act, to find out more.”
"Social movements are amazing at encapsulating the change they want to create in just a few words. Entrepreneurs do the same thing!”
“You have to figure out what you’re rebelling against and come up with a plan for something different.”
“It should really be about creating something bigger than yourself and making a difference!”
“I think what people are really craving now is significance, legacy, impact.”
“I believe your message comes from your own voice. Your 3-Word Rebellion exists in what you’ve been saying and creating, it’s just that you’re too close to it and your brain is too noisy to actually hear it.”
“There is no right or wrong, just the essence of what you’re actually thinking. So I recommend free-writing!”
“I look at the words as a data set, where I’m trying to figure out what patterns are there here?”
