Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own.

In this video, Entrepreneur Network partner Salma Jafri explains how you can discover your own story and tell it in the most compelling way.

Jafri not only references major names such as Elon Musk and Steve Jobs, but she also pulls in lesser-known (nonetheless famous) entrepreneurs such as Lewis Howes and Sophia Amoruso. Each of these entrepreneurs has shown strength and resilience in the face of struggle and hardship. They all tell stories that trigger an emotional response.

Perhaps you're feeling as though your personal story doesn't have that element -- your struggle is that you think you're boring. Lose that notion. Millions of people hold this limiting belief, and it does nothing but stunt your growth and hold you back. Jafri goes over five steps to help you move past this idea and discover your own unique story.
