The Skills You Need To Be Successful

I was speaking
with a writing buddy
about a friend
She said,
“(Our friend) is a great writer
but she doesn’t know
how to promote her stories.”

Then she isn’t a great writer.

Being a successful writer today
requires having the ability to promote stories.
It is part of the job.
If the promoting isn’t done,
the job isn’t done.

Seth Godin
shares

“It doesn’t take a genius
to see that competence
is no longer about our ability
to press certain buttons
in a certain sequence.

Far more often,
competence involves
the humanity required
to connect with other people,
in real time.”

Look at the skills,
ALL of the skills
required to be successful.
