   I've been working on PDFShift ( https://pdfshift.io ) for a almost a year now - alone. I'm nearing 100 customers and will soon be able to make salary :)

   A few things annoy me on this article. About deaths: The author says nuclear causes fewer deaths than the rest. Maybe that's true, but he (voluntarily?) omits to take into consideration long term health issues related to incidents. The

   I haven't done that, but I'll try next time to see how she explains it. That's a good idea, thanks!

   As others said, "really knowing the material" is one of the important things that can cause confusion. Practicing is also important, but for that, I need people that are willing to listen to me struggle. Thank you for your help.

   Yep. I think I need to keep working on trying to explain things, finding alternative ways to be understood and find something that works. Thanks :)

   You are indeed not the first to mention this book. I'll see if I can grab a copy. Thanks.

    Yep. I need to work on filtering what I'm explaining, keeping the simple things at first, then increasing the difficulty if asked. That's a challenge in itself :)

    I have the faculty to feel what others feels, and that's worse in my case. I feel when I lose them, which make me start to want to explain more, which in turn worsen the situation. Maybe in that case I should try to stop that feeling a

    Thank you. I'll try to think more in giving explanation under 16 words or less. Even if that doesn't work, it will be a nice exercice to follow :)

    Thank you for your advice. I did asked a lot of question, at every step of the explanation, to ensure she was following, but when I tried to wrap it all, that's where I lost her. I might also have tried to explain her something she&#x2

    I think you nailed it. I do try to explain more in depth (too much). I'm working a lot on this and stop explaining when the main basis is covered, but my pragmatic approach forces me to cover ALL the parts. I also agree with @WheelsAtL

    I'm a bit concerned, hence my message here - but not too much to go see a doctor. Maybe I'll drop a word next time I'm at the doctor in case he knows something ;)

    Yep, you are right. I identify in what you say here in many points. As for the practice makes perfect, I recently started a "philosophic" group with a small set of friends where we speak about various stuff. The idea being to expr

    Wow, I relate completely with what your wife is saying here! I do often mix words in a phrase or swap the context. And man, I speak fast (don't articulate much). My friends used to call me Buzz Lightyear because I was speaking at light

    Thank you. I do have other advantages against other people, but I believe that everyone is better than others in specific areas, so I didn't consider them much ;)

    That's indeed what often happens - having to re-explain or they understand what I meant to say. But every time I do this, I lose a bit of credibility, and that adds up in the long run. Moreover, sometimes, I lose people completely beca

    Thank you for your advices. About wordthink.com, I'm French so it might not work for me, but I'll search for a French alternative, it might exists. More globally, your advice of thinking shorter and waiting before speaking might b

    Being bootstrapped means that you need to do a lot of things by yourself. You can't hire a team yet because of the lack of money and at first, everything is manual until you identify repeatable patterns that you can automate. With htt
