My Final Words Of The Week

You're probably misunderstood.

I'm amazed how many people I see trying to get people to pay attention to their work while not being able to clearly explain what it is or why people should care.

Clarity is a super power.

Are you SURE people understand what you're doing or asking?

Something to think about.

(Or get my help with.)

Have a great week!

Josh
