I write selling book blurbs.
I didn’t start my career
with this skill.
I obtained it
because I’ve written
over 70 blurbs.
I practiced and practiced,
becoming better with each blurb.
Carmine Gallo,
in a recent newsletter,
shares this story about
Warren Buffett
“Enrolling in a public-speaking course
was a good first step
to helping Buffett
build his confidence
as a public speaker.
The key, he said,
was signing up
to teach a night course
at the University of Nebraska—Omaha.
Buffett taught investment principles
to students twice his age.
He did it to force himself
to stand up and talk to people.
He improved his speaking skills over time
because he did it over and over again.”
Repetition is often key
to mastering a necessary skill.
