DO THIS AND EVERYTHING WILL BE BETTER

True and important advice from my friend Dave Kerpen.

Do this and you’ll be more successful in your career, you’ll open doors, you’ll close more sales, and you’ll earn the respect of your colleagues.

The number of poorly written emails, resumes, and blog posts I come across each month is both staggering and saddening. Grammar is off. There are tons of misspellings. Language is much wordier or more complex than necessary. Some things I read literally make no sense at all to me.

Writing is a lost art, and many professionals don’t realize how essential a job skill it is. Even if you’re not a writer by trade, every time you click “Publish” on a blog, “Post” on a LinkedIn update, or “Send” on an email, you are putting your writing out into the world.

Your writing is a reflection of your thinking. Clear, succinct, convincing writing will differentiate you as a great thinker and a valuable asset to your team.

If you want to be thought of as a smart thinker, you must become a better writer. If you want to be taken seriously by your manager, colleagues, potential employers, clients, and prospects, you must become a better writer.
