Preparing for our "100 seconds on..."
HEY...I am super excited you're gonna do a "100 seconds..." with me. Thank you...can't wait!
While I don't want to take you away from your world for too long, I've learned from doing these and there is some prep you should consider that will make your session compelling:
1. Speed is important. I'm not suggesting we run with scissors, but pushing the pace will hopefully create some spontaneous moments and nuggets. Having said that, be yourself and know we're gonna edit the crap outa this thing anyway.
2. Be prepared with a concise and specific "thesis" (a.k.a. "best practice," "recommendation," "strategy," "viewpoint". Whatever you want to call it... but the segment should focus on ONE THING that is up to you to choose. Again, it could be a skill, a lesson, a routine...anything. But whatever it is, be specific and have a definitive and unique POV.
3. Come with tips and/or recommendations. Package them tightly. Present it either as ONE tip, "...this is my ONE best practice on the topic" or, "here are the two (or three) tips you MUST think about and do...". (No more than three tips...two is probably best given our tight time budget.)
Lastly, we'll start with a "lightening round" so I want you to be prepared...I'm gonna ask you three questions and want to whip through 'em quickly. Here they are:
1. What is your favorite business book? ...and why?
2. What's your one key guiding light that has driven your career and business success?
3. Dog or cat...what do you wanna be next? ...what breed? (just trying to have some fun)
Mostly, we'll just talk on our zoom session because we have the liberty of editing - and we will, soooooo, LET IT FLY.
See ya on our zoom appointment soon,
Michael
