brevity and clarity

I once asked my mentor Jay Conrad Levinson for feedback on something I had written. Jay, who has published over 10 million marketing books, became that successful by writing clearly about complex subjects.

His feedback on my writing was: "Keith, I prefer writing that is brief and clear. Yours is neither. Love Jay".

This was my favourite piece of feedback of all time.
