Look For The Angel
I came across a rather
interesting article today and I thought I'd share it with
you. It makes reference to Michelangelo and how he
sculpted such beautiful angels from hard stone. The
author relates this to writing quality web copy so if you're
in the process of writing for your website or a website you
should definitely check this out.

The 6 Priorities
Ivy Ledbetter
Lee (1877 - 1934) was a consultant in New York city. His clients
included Rockefeller, Carnegie, The Du Ponts and many other high profile
clients.
One day, Charles Schwab of the Bethlehem Steel
Company called Lee to ask about his services. Lee explained that, with
his help, Schwab would know how to manage his company better.
"H*LL" shouted Schwab. "What we need around
here is not more KNOWING, but more DOING!"
Rising to the challenge, Lee told Schwab that
in 20 minutes or less, he could show him how to get more "doing" done.
The men agreed to meet.
When they met, Lee handed Schwab a stack of
cards (like index cards). He told Schwab to make a list of the 6 most
important things that had to be done the next day.
Schwab did so.
Then, Lee told him to rewrite the list in
order of priority, with the most important listed first.

Again, Schwab did so.
Lee told him that the next morning, he should
look at #1 and start working on it. He should look at #1 every hour on
the hour until it's done. Then tackle #2 the same way. Then #3. Cross
off each task when it is completed. Work on that list until quitting
time.
"Don't be concerned if you don't finish all
six" Lee warned. "You are working on what is most important. The rest
can wait."
Lee told him to make a new list, for the next
day, at the end of each day. "When you make up the next list, transfer
your unfinished items to it. Again, put them in order of priority."
Lee told Schwab that after he had tried this
method, that he should have key employees do the same.
Less than 20 minutes later, as he walked away,
Lee said "Test it for as long as you like. Then send me a check for what
you think my advice is worth."
Later, Charles Schwab sent Ivy Ledbetter Lee a
letter. In part, it said this;
"This innocent little lesson is the most
practical lesson I have ever learned in all my life. ...(snipped)...
That did more to make Bethlehem Steel Co. the world's largest
independent steel producer than all the meetings I have held with high
paid executives."
He enclosed a check for $25,000.00.
This lesson is so simple and so plain that
most people won't even bother to try it. Yet, this little technique has
played a part in more success stories than you would believe.
Walter Chrysler, Henry Ford, Thomas Watson, Dr
Willaim Mayo (Mayo Clinic) and many, many more great achievers place
this method of task prioritization at the top of their list of "habits
for success."
As for me, I swear by it.
How about you?
Or is your way getting better results?

Web Logs, Blogs and the Art of Blogging

What can a Blog be used for ?
Blogs are more and more growing in popularity and
you'd be surprised at all of what they are being used for.
I went to check the 'competition' to my company to see
what's "GOING ON". Some of it will SHOCK YOU!!!
One place I checked has many members from many places
and they are in a younger age bracket than myself in general but the stuff they
talked about and the language they used ... all I can say is they are lucky I am
not their dad.
The site has some cool features and would be great if
used for something better than to talk smack and place provocative pics.
Bye-Bye to that site for me.
Well, I'm gonna' give some thoughts on the use of
blogs.
Let's say you wish for your messages to get to people
that are tired of emails being blocked. They can add your RSS link to their "My
Page" of their ISP or place the link in their RSS reader and when you write they
get updated of your post in 'real-time' so they can read it now or later.
So a mail correspondence is one function of a blog.
Instead of multiple emails all can read the same post like an email and your are
not exposing email addresses to the other readers.
You also don't have to worry about someone telling you
to remove them from your mailing list. They just delete the blog address. NO
SPAM problems.
Newsletters are another use as some businesses have
started doing. Delivery to the readers happens smoothly and can be deleted if
the reader wishes to stop receiving.
Some blogs 'categorize' your entries. You can have
multiple topics without having to create a new account. One location, many
subjects, category titles help with search engines placing you in proper
listings.
Niche marketing. This is my favorite. Write an article
on an item of your 'many' items and you have exposed it to the world when it
would be normally buried in your many offers on your one site.
It's like creating a mini site for each product you
promote. And the best part ... articles are better selling tools than ads
because people that search for it are already looking to buy and they want facts
before they do.
An article does just that. Gives facts and you look
like an expert in their eyes so they trust you. You have conquered the biggest
drawbacks of online selling; credibility and trust.
For some, a blog can be private and shared by few or
can be shared by all. Your choice.
Use it as a diary, a memoir, create a family history
and have all of your relatives contribute to keep accurate records of the
family.
Use it to write a novel. Use it to share homework
assignments. Write a thesis.
Start a penpal club. Write reviews of movies or
artists or music.
Create a fan club. Post a band's schedule and use to
coordinate rendezvous place times for people.
Create lessons for students and allow them to post Q&A
to those lessons.
Talk about pet care. Health care. Social Security.
Social Reform. Politics. Religions.
Make a grocery list for the family and use it as a
check off list when shopped. The entry is dated when what was bought.
Home improvement records. Project planning. A phone
list for family members and emergency numbers.
Or just write your thoughts for therapeutic reasons.
Blogs are limitless to their uses.

Look For The Angel
Copyright 2006
by Helen Wilkie
Too many business letters, e-mails, reports and other written messages are
ineffective because they are buried in fluff and redundancy.
Many a two-page letter or memo could be reduced to less than a page if we would
just stop saying things like "in the majority of instances" when we mean
"usually". Why do we say "as you may or may not know"? If you may know, then
obviously you may not know. That's what "may" means! Why do we use wordy phrases
like "of a confidential nature" instead of a perfectly good, serviceable
adjective like "confidential"?
That's what I call fluff --� simply too many words.
A
related problem is redundancy, which occurs when we unwittingly say the same
thing twice. I read in a business letter, "We are trying to attempt a solution."
Does that mean they tried twice as hard? What about "unexpected emergency"?
Surely if we knew it was coming it wouldn't be an emergency. There are many
examples of excellent words we have stolen from other languages --� and then
ruined them by watering them down. For example, the French word "unique" doesn't
mean "unusual" --� it means "one of a kind". A thing is not very unique,
somewhat unique or rather unique. It's either unique or it's very unusual.
The problem with this piling on of unnecessary words is that it buries the
message, leaving the reader either scrambling around looking for it --� or
simply scanning the words and completely missing the point.
Dealing with this in a recently workshop, I was reminded of an old story about
Michelangelo. Apparently someone asked the great artist how he managed to sculpt
such beautiful angels from cold, hard marble. Michelangelo replied "I simply
chip away at everything that's not angel, and eventually the angel emerges from
the marble."
Take a close look at your business writing and look for everything that doesn't
contribute to your message --� and then chip away at it until the message
emerges.
