How to recreate this for your brand?

​

Step 1: Find Your "Before" Content

• Look through old videos/photos of you working toward your current success

• Show yourself when you were younger or just starting out

• Capture the moment when you were dreaming of where you are now

• The more authentic and raw, the better

​

Step 2: Document Your Current Reality

• Record yourself now having achieved that dream

• Same passion, same energy, but in the professional setting

• Show the clear progression from aspiration to achievement

• Make the contrast obvious and inspiring

​

Step 3: Apply to Your Niche

• Fitness: Old video of you struggling with workouts → now as a trainer

• Business: Video of you planning your startup → now running successful company

• Music: Bedroom recordings from years ago → now in professional studios

• Education: Studying for certifications → now teaching others

​

Step 4: Structure Your Content

• Hook: Start with the old "dreaming" footage

• Add context about what you were working toward

• Use "X years later" transition text

• Reveal your current achievement of that exact dream

• Let viewers see the journey from aspiration to reality
