This week: Make it "perfect"

ADVERTISEMENTS

This blog has almost completely ignored what I call "finishing": spelling, punctuation, and other mechanical concerns. In my experience, such concerns aren't much of a problem for most business writers.

Make it perfect. No typos, no misspellings, no factual errors. If you're sloppy and let mistakes slip by, the person reading your letter will think you don't know better or don't care. Do you?

This week, pay special attention to the "finish" you put on your writing. As you finish each piece of writing spend two or three extra minutes making sure it's as perfect as possible. 


But add those minutes only at the end of your writing process. Don't paint the house until you've built it.
