2 things writers need to take care of...

They’ll help you build a better business for yourself [The Writer’ s Life]( June 5, 2023 "Who you are tomorrow begins with what you do today." – Tim Fargo Happy Monday, {NAME}! Henry Ford is credited with creating the Model T, the automobile that made cars popular for a wider audience. But, a connected invention also had a wide-reaching impact on the world as we know it today … To expedite the mass production of an entire automobile, Ford created the moving assembly line process. His innovation reduced the time it took to build a car from more than 12 hours to just 1 hour and 33 minutes. That increased productivity changed everything. It allowed him to reduce the price of a car to meet his goal that everyone should be able to have one. And it streamlined the work done at the factory, for greater efficiency and output. Now, of course writing involves a creativity level you won't find produced on an assembly line (or by an AI tool!) … And persuasive writing also requires empathy, nuance, and insight into the human psyche that isn't possible for machinery. But your workflow CAN be much more efficient if you have processes, systems, and techniques. As we talked about last Monday, you're not just a writer … or freelancer … or contractor, you're also a businessperson. And understanding that role is vital to your long-term success and fulfillment. When you have solid operating systems and techniques in place, your creativity can take center stage and it will actually flourish! In today's Monday Morning Jumpstart, Ted Capshaw and Jade Trueblood talk about Systems & Techniques and their importance in your business. These are the second pillar in what Ted calls the 4 Pillars of Business. The pillars build on each other, and your Culture & Connection ([discussed last week]() will be the foundation your Systems & Techniques rest on. The Business Pillars are all interconnected and fluid, and Ted explains what that means in today's episode in this series of four. Ted and Jade break down how to set up techniques and systems that work for you to create a better business — especially in our ever-changing industry. And they reveal the questions to ask yourself to identify what you need to put in place, and how to assess them as you move forward. [AWAI Monday Morning Jumpstart Systems and Techniques featuring Ted Capshaw and Jade Trueblood]( Knowing what you NEED to create the most efficient and fulfilling writing career is only one piece of the puzzle … So Ted and Jade also offer examples of where gaps may be in your quest to make forward progress, and then they share what you should do to keep building better revenue streams.
