Most ideas don’t fail because they’re bad… they just never become a story. And somewhere between the first idea and the final video, it’s easy to get stuck or lose direction.

In this video, I’ll show you a simple 3-step method to turn any idea into a clear, engaging story. We break it down into tension, change, and one powerful sentence, so you always know what your video is really about. Whether you’re making YouTube videos, short films, or even simple tutorials, this gives you a clear path from idea to finished story.

And if you want to try this with your own idea, I built a free Story Finder tool that walks you through the exact process step by step. Try it here: https://storystarterkit.com/storyfinder
