August's Notable Quote for Newsletter Writers
with Jon Acuff
This month’s notable quote is short but sweet.
The problem is that perfectionism magnifies your mistakes and minimizes your progress.
Is perfectionism getting in the way of you sending a newsletter regularly?
It helps to think of your newsletter as a give rather than an ask. Even if you can’t send out the perfect newsletter that you originally planned, can you send out something that might be of value to your readers?
A word of encouragement, something to remind them of the beauty that surrounds us, or a quick tip that’s made a difference for you or a client might all be just the thing to change someone’s day.
As I wrote a few months ago, sometimes the newsletters you write and send when time is short and you aren’t sure what to say wind up being the best ones.
Talk soon. Happy writing.
Camille
