Wow. The writing here is concise, and easy to understand. Just a few paragraphs in I realized I've been doing my consulting wrong (which makes the hopeful transition to a products & services company even more challenging).
In terms of benefit-per-sentence, this is right up there with the best books on business I've ever read.
- patio11 13y agoThanks, that is one of the best compliments I've ever gotten for my writing. (Since I tend to write 4,000 words at a time, my biggest worry is always that I'm fluffing up one good idea into excessive length. I aspire to always covering something in enough meaty depth to justify the length, not to have the length pre-fixed and need to pad to hit my quota.)
- lifeisstillgood 13y agoI would not worry too much on that score - I managed to read your blog post and have three chunks mailed off to people with "OMG this bit .." and, oh yes, decided I need to be building products first in order to sell around them. You have an exciting idea per paragraph ratio higher than anything since pg in the early days - you are hirin your stride about now (Ok that does sound a bit brown tongue - but it's honest so apologies all round)
- thaumaturgy 13y agoThe impact of the writing -- the frequency with which I read something and it made me sit back and go, "hmm" -- is comparable to Rules for Revolutionaries, still my favorite book on business. I don't give out enthusiastic compliments easily. Seriously, if you enjoy doing this, you might consider turning it into a book. With your writing style, your domain expertise, and your marketing acumen, you'd probably make a mint.
