There's a Mark Twain quote that I share almost daily at this point. He says, "I would have written you a short letter, but I didn't have the time, so I wrote a long letter instead."

The point is this - It is HARDER to be concise and direct with your words than it is to ramble on and on (which I can verify as a regular rambler).

When it comes to running a business and building a brand, using fewer words and better words makes all the difference.

It's the difference between a muddled, unclear brand AND immediate buy-in from your audience.

How succinctly can you share the purpose of your business? How quickly can you communicate your identity and values?

Where can you use less words and better words?
