Work Room - Week 2
When I first heard that I would be writing a Work Room this week, I wasn't sure about what I was going to say. I sat down and I pondered the idea. What is a Work Room? Why did I need to write one? Work. In a room. A Room of Work.
I pondered until I couldn't ponder any more...
and then I deleted the first couple of paragraphs you just read and got right to the point with a stronger beginning.
There's a lesson in there. You only have a few moments to grab someone's attention. There is a lot to read, just in Idol - and a world of distractions. If you don't have a way to hook someone into wanting to read more, it doesn't matter how you close, because most people won't get there.
That's MY number 1 piece of advice going into Week 2.
What's yours?
