Use pictures, words, and video. Take people step-by-step through part of your process. As blogger Kathy Sierra says, “Make people better at something they want to be better at.”

    Whether you’re telling a finished or unfinished story, always keep your audience in mind. Speak to them directly in plain language. Value their time. Be brief. Learn to speak. Learn to write.

  • A.Hartwighas quoted7 years ago
    You can’t count on success; you can only leave open the possibility for it, and be ready to jump on and take the ride when it comes for you.
  • A.Hartwighas quoted7 years ago
    The people who get what they’re after are very often the ones who just stick around long enough.
