December's Notable Quote for Newsletter Writers
From Seth Godin
Hi there.
Happy almost New Year 🥳
This month’s notable quote comes from Seth Godin’s book The Practice:
…each of us is peculiar in our own way. Peculiar is a choice, an opportunity to bring our own experiences and our own point of view to the work. We’ve been trained for a long time to hide that unique voice or to pretend it’s not there, because the systems around us push us to conform.
One of the most common issues I see when reviewing newsletters is that I don’t get a sense for the actual person writing it.
Are you shining through in your newsletters? Do they feel like you? Would a friend recognize you based on what you’ve written? If not, how might you move in that direction?
Keep writing.
