Hi there,
Did you enjoy your long weekend?
I sure did. Most of it was spent creating copy. That may sound odd to you, but right now I’m working on a fabulous project that has made me fall in love with writing all over again. (And the clients are out-of-this-world brilliant.)
I did take a break on Saturday though to help my best friend, Mickley, celebrate her 50th birthday with a 70s/80s style party. We danced the night away, and had the best time.
Mick is 6 days older than me. And it’s my tradition to call her daily until MY BIRTHDAY to see if she needs a walker or has any “old lady” pains. We’ve been friends for 25 years, so she can take my ribbing.
I mentioned to you yesterday that I’m having a 50% off birthday sale off all my all week until my actual birthday on FRIDAY, JUNE 1. Remember? To take advantage of the sale, just go HERE.
Then use this COUPON CODE in the shopping cart: SALE50
IMPORTANT: The price displays as the full-value total until you put in the code, so don’t freak out.
Meanwhile have a stellar week. I know I will!
Warmly,
Lorrie

4-Step Technique To Jumpstart Your Copywriting
Lorrie Morgan-Ferrero, Expert Copywriting Strategist
One of the hardest parts to writing copy is just getting started! Look, it doesn’t matter how many years you have under your belt as a writer…you can be a rank beginner or a seasoned pro. Yet we all struggle with the procrastination dragon.
Now what I’m about to share with you was a no-fail 4-step technique used by the military to get focused and stay that way. If they are able to use this system with bombs going off around them and gunfire whizzing by their ears, I’m confident you can use this in the comfort of your own office to create copy.
STEP ONE: Relax.
Concentrate on your breath. Breathe in and out evenly and calmly. Be in the present. Don’t worry about the past or the future. The only thing you can truly affect right now is the RIGHT NOW.
STEP TWO: Focus.
Pick a spot anywhere in the room. Concentrate only on that spot. Let everything around that spot become a blur. Next take that laser focus and apply it to your topic.
STEP THREE: Decide.
Make the conscious choice to get your work done.
STEP FOUR: Act.
Turn off ALL distractions. Set a timer for a time period that works for you. I like 15 minutes. (Definitely don’t go longer than 40 minutes though. Studies show our brain starts to look for distractions around 40 minutes of concentration.) And WRITE. Don’t edit yet. Just write.
That’s all there is to it. Drop me a comment and let me know how you did.
