The Value of Culling

Years ago I picked up the nickname “the reverser” because people sent me words and presentations to cull / review / enhance / ‘make snazzy’ for the monied decision-makers and 80+% I’d find the most important messages in the last few sentences or last page and move them to the start.

I’m all for writing that quickly grabs the reader and is succinct, valuable, engaging, direct, useful and more.

What’s the learning for you?

1. Write things out.
2. Then check: Are the most important sentences at the end? Could they be the first soundbites, the first impression, for others?
3. These quotes help me ~

Less is more: especially with online medias that encourage shorter-attentions.

Thanks Lis & Ryan :)

I really enjoyed this “The Midas Touch and Mind-Bending Futures” podcast on what’s coming in life and business from Steve Jurvetson and Tim Ferriss – especially the start.
