Download or read book Get to the Point written by Joel Schwartzberg and published by Berrett-Koehler Publishers. This book was released on 2017-10-16 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this indispensable guide for anyone who must communicate in speech or writing, Schwartzberg shows that most of us fail to convince because we don't have a point-a concrete contention that we can argue, defend, illustrate, and prove. He lays out, step-by-step, how to develop one. In Joel's Schwartzberg's ten-plus years as a strategic communications trainer, the biggest obstacle he's come across-one that connects directly to nervousness, stammering, rambling, and epic fail-is that most speakers and writers don't have a point. They typically have just a title, a theme, a topic, an idea, an assertion, a catchphrase, or even something much less. A point is something more. It's a contention you can propose, argue, defend, illustrate, and prove. A point offers a position of potential value. Global warming is real is not a point. Scientific evidence shows that global warming is a real, human-generated problem that will have a devastating environmental and financial impact is a point. When we have a point, our influence snaps into place. We communicate belief, conviction, and urgency. This book shows you how to identify your point, leverage it, stick to it, and sell it and how to train others to identify and successfully make their own points.

Download or read book You Are an Author written by Matt Rudnitsky and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-09-19 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If I told you "getting published" was easy, you'd think I was full of shit. So how did I write my first book as a 23-year old, unemployed Economics major? And how did it only take a month, and make $$10,376.13 in passive income (so far) ... despite doing zero marketing? Because anyone can professionally self-publish a book, if they know what they're doing. I don't mean some scammy "e-book." I mean a real, paperback book on Amazon that nobody would know was self-published unless you told them. Publishing the book is easy, as I'll explain. Writing the book is NOT easy, but anyone can do it, if they're willing to work. You don't have to be an "expert." I'm not an expert, yet here we are. In fact, your non-expertise is your advantage (explained in Ch. 22). If you've ever wanted to write a book "some day" but thought you were unqualified, read this book. You'll learn everything you need to know to write your first successful book, in 24 steps, including: - Why traditional publishers are dead - How to find a profitable idea ... even if you think you have nothing to say - How to get started ... even if you're lost and overwhelmed - How to cure writer's block - How to outline ... without stunting your creativity - How to make your book your own ... not some boring, rehashed bullshit - How to build a lifelong writing habit - How to guarantee sales ... without annoying marketing - How to make your book look professional and sexy - How to have fun, hold your book in your hands, and build a writing career and/or business Don't read this book if you aren't willing to work, or challenge the conventional belief that "getting published" by traditional publishers is the only path. Publishers are dead. They don't want you to self-publish your book. Fuck 'em. You are an author.

Then there's 6 months, 3 months, 1 month and oh, now there's 2 weeks left and you haven't started studying...

As a fellow student now at university, I definitely don't have a PhD in Exam Etiquette but this is the book younger me needed. All I wanted was one place that had a variety of tried-and-tested methods with reassurance from someone who had recently been through the education system. The Only Study Guide You'll Ever Need is just that, and I have collected the best techniques and tools I wish I'd known earlier to help you get through your studies and smash your exams! Jade x
Download or read book Show Your Work written by Austin Kleon and published by Workman Publishing Company. This book was released on 2014-03-06 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his New York Times bestseller Steal Like an Artist, Austin Kleon showed readers how to unlock their creativity by “stealing” from the community of other movers and shakers. Now, in an even more forward-thinking and necessary book, he shows how to take that critical next step on a creative journey—getting known. Show Your Work! is about why generosity trumps genius. It’s about getting findable, about using the network instead of wasting time “networking.” It’s not self-promotion, it’s self-discovery—let others into your process, then let them steal from you. Filled with illustrations, quotes, stories, and examples, Show Your Work! offers ten transformative rules for being open, generous, brave, productive. In chapters such as You Don’t Have to Be a Genius; Share Something Small Every Day; and Stick Around, Kleon creates a user’s manual for embracing the communal nature of creativity— what he calls the “ecology of talent.” From broader life lessons about work (you can’t find your voice if you don’t use it) to the etiquette of sharing—and the dangers of oversharing—to the practicalities of Internet life (build a good domain name; give credit when credit is due), it’s an inspiring manifesto for succeeding as any kind of artist or entrepreneur in the digital age.
