Some people stop too early, while others, the perfectionists, wait too long to stop.

As Ricky would say, “You’ve got some ‘splain’ to do, Dave.”

Recently, I finished a long script for a video project I’m doing.

As much of a relief as it is to have it completed – I know there is still much work ahead. I will edit and revise it two more times.

Some people who write sales presentations are so happy to be done that they don’t go back and revise.

When it comes to editing, think of it as a sculptor chiseling away at a block of marble. Your goal is to cut out the unnecessary and reveal the true beauty of your message. So, cut, cut, and clarify until your message shines through.

On the other hand, some people edit and try to make their presentations perfect. I can tell you from experience that the ONLY way to do a near-perfect presentation is to DO it repeatedly.

You should do some editing and give it a whirl.

Don’t stop too early or wait too long.

Kick butt, make mucho DEEnero!
